Photonic Libraries And Technology for Manufacturing

Description du projet


Core and disruptive photonic technologies
"PLAT4M will make silicon photonics ready for transition to industry"

Silicon is now a mature integration platform that has brought CMOS microelectronics to mass-market application. The PLAT4M vision is that silicon photonics will lead to a similar revolution in the photonics sector.

Over the past years silicon photonics has seen a tremendous increase in research output with commercial exploitation potential. Most of this research so far has been focused on elementary building blocks. However, for reaching out to larger markets it will be necessary to master the cost effective development and fabrication of complete Photonic Integrated Circuits. Existing silicon photonics platforms will need to be upgraded accordingly. In particular, the design and process flows will have to be streamlined and consolidated in view of industrial requirements concerning design robustness, process variability and integration constraints.

The European silicon photonics community has already demonstrated a worldwide leadership in scientific discoveries and excellent CMOS photonics R&D facilities. On this basis, the PLAT4M project has gathered leading European R&D institutes and CMOS companies, key industrial and research players in design and packaging as well as end-users from different application fields. The project undertakes to establish a European supply chain for silicon photonics involving different application fields, and to enable the set-up of industrial integration platforms for different levels of volume manufacturing.

Silicon with its mature integration platform has brought electronic circuits to mass-market applications - our vision is that silicon photonics will follow this revolution. Over the last years silicon photonics has seen a tremendous increase in research output, leading to commercial exploitation potential. Most of these efforts have been devoted to the development of elementary building blocks, rather than the fabrication of complete Photonic Integrated Circuits which are needed to support the large potential markets. Upgrading existing platforms to become compatible with industrialization is now essential and requires efforts on streamlining and stabilizing the design and process flows, by taking into account design robustness, process variability and integration constraints.Europe's silicon photonics community has demonstrated a worldwide leadership with both new scientific discoveries and excellent CMOS photonics R&D facilities.PLAT4M's objective is to bring existing silicon photonics research platform to a maturity level which enables seamless transition to industry, suitable for different applications fields and manufacturing volume levels.Progress on three fronts is needed:1 Mature technologies and tools- Establish scalable Electrical-Optical co-design capability- Stabilize elementary building blocks, focus on process integration and common testing procedures- Develop packaging processes that support high volume manufacturing2 Validate each platform with application-driven test vehicles- Fabricate representative demonstrators in various applications fields3 Prepare and evaluate the next generation platform- Assess advanced processes with future technology nodes and scalability to high integration complexity
PLAT4M gathers leading European R&D institutes and CMOS companies, key industrial and research players in design, packaging as well as end-users in different application fields in order to build the whole supply chain.
