Silicon photonics

Using semiconductor manufacturing technology, we build optical circuits on wafers to achieve highly integrated optical devices.

Key Features

  • Enables high-speed transmission, which is an advantage of optical communications.
  • Can reduce environmental impact, by miniaturizing devices and lowering power consumption.
  • Utilizing the 8-inch front-end process manufacturing mass production line, it allows prototyping and mass production in a Clean Room environment.
  • Enables mask manufacturing and design support, process improvement and support for optical device performance, and process customization according to the customer’s requirements.
  • We are working to reduce the manufacturing AT costs through an all-integrated system within Japan.
