Jabil expands silicon photonics capabilities

News

The company broadens its offerings at Ottawa, Canada, site to support customers’ silicon photonics new product introductions and enable next-generation AI and datacentre technologies

Jabil has announced its continued investment in silicon photonics-based products and capabilities to support the increasing demands of hyperscalers and next-wave cloud and AI datacentre growth. The company said it is set to roll out additional capabilities at its Ottawa, Canada, site in the fourth calendar-year quarter of 2024 to support customers’ advanced photonics packaging new product introductions (NPIs).

According to Jabil, the NPI line will feature innovative capabilities designed to assist photonics customers quickly scale from proof of concept to mass production, such as fluxless flip-chip, fibre attachment, precise die bonding, and wire bonding. The company says these advancements will support silicon photonics chip packaging, particularly in high-speed connectivity applications such as co-packaged optics (CPO) and high-speed on-board connections. Jabil adds that, by leveraging its expertise, customers can benefit from enhanced performance and reliability in their photonics solutions, ultimately driving agility and scalability in their operations.

“The expansion of our Ottawa site is a game-changer for Jabil,” said Matt Crowley, executive vice president, Global Business Units. “This facility will enable us to meet the growing demands for advanced photonics solutions tailored to AI and next-generation datacentres. Through our NPI capabilities, we can assist customers in their own product development journeys, significantly reducing the need for costly trial and error in developing their own solutions from scratch.”

Jabil says it continues to pioneer industry-first “silicon to solutions” manufacturing approaches that improve the scalability of current and next-generation photonics, including 800G and 1.6T. The company also continues to make investments in next-generation silicon photonic technologies beyond 800G and 1.6T, intending to support AI and cloud computing, and focusing on optimised performance and reduced power consumption for modern datacentres.
