SMART Photonics and imec to collaborate on hybrid integration
The integrated photonics foundry SMART Photonics has announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Belgian research institute imec, underpinning their intention to work together in the field of hybrid integration of indium phosphide on silicon nitride and silicon photonics.
Through this collaboration, the organisations intend to work on topics like hybrid integration with flip chip bonding and butt coupling, micro-transfer printing, and laser design and design of interface elements for integration along with system demonstration and prototyping.
They added that this research seeks to accelerate adoption and market pull of hybrid integrated solutions for domains such as datacom, automotive, agrifood and health.
