Advanced TFLN Photonic Chip Manufacturing Technology

Our Expertise in Cutting-Edge Manufacturing

Our state-of-the-art proprietary technology is designed to cater to both fabless companies, which are early adopters of next-generation photonic chips, and conventional silicon photonic foundries looking to enhance their platforms by integrating TFLN. It encompasses a range of advanced manufacturing capabilities, including:

  • Precision TFLN Micromachining

  • Multilayer Metallization

  • Cladding and Layer Openings

  • Device-layer undercut

 

These processes allow for the realization of various on-chip components and functionalities:

  • Electro-Optic Modulators for fast communication.

  • CMOS Compatibility for easy integration.

  • Low-Loss Fiber Coupling for reliable connectivity.

  • Frequency Conversion via PPLN for spectroscopy, optical and quantum computations.

  • Acousto-Optic Modulation for dynamic light control.

  • Efficient interfacing for hybrid and heterogeneous integration with Silicon Photonics.
