US EditionOpenLight Partners with TFC to Fast-track the Silicon Photonics Back-end Process for Semiconductor Production and Optical Communication Systems
- On March 31, 2025, OpenLight, headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, and Suzhou TFC Optical Communication Co., Ltd. Announced a new ecosystem partnership aimed at advancing the silicon photonics back-end process for optical communication systems.
- The increasing adoption of silicon photonics and the growing demand in optical interconnects for applications like datacenter AI/ML, LiDAR, and sensing markets necessitate a more mature and efficient supply chain with multiple high-volume manufacturing capabilities.
- This partnership provides a solution that combines OSAT services with advanced Tx engine designs, streamlining the production and integration of silicon photonics technology by addressing back-end wafer processing and packaging challenges, including wafer-level bumping, testing, grinding, and dicing.
- According to Dr. Adam Carter, CEO at OpenLight, bringing TFC's expertise in high-volume manufacturing and passive component technologies into the OpenLight ecosystem will "address the backend wafer processing and packaging challenges, break barriers and enable broader industry adoption of heterogeneously integrated silicon photonics."
- The OpenLight and TFC partnership intends to create a one-stop shop that streamlines the supply chain, allows customers to scale manufacturing, enables faster time-to-market at a lower cost, and provides customers the flexibility to directly procure subassemblies, ultimately enhancing the value of laser engines and enabling wider adoption of silicon photonics.
