Teradyne announces it will acquire Quantifi Photonics
Iannick Monfils, co-founder and CEO of Quantifi Photonics, said the companies will combine their strengths to provide complete, turnkey photonic test solutions that allow customers to scale
Teradyne has announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Quantifi Photonics, a privately held company focusing on PIC testing. The acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approval.
According to the companies, this acquisition will enable Teradyne to deliver scalable PIC test solutions. PIC technology is leveraging wafer-based manufacturing, multi-die integration, and advanced packaging with high-speed I/O interfaces to enable the rapidly evolving high-performance compute market to support AI workloads.
“The extraordinary growth and complexity driven by cloud AI will require optical interconnect solutions to support the bandwidth and reduce the power required for next-generation networks,” said Teradyne CEO, Greg Smith. “We are thrilled to welcome the Quantifi Photonics team to Teradyne to accelerate the development of cost-effective, high-throughput test solutions for wafer-level, die/multi-die and co-packaged optical module testing.”
Iannick Monfils, Quantifi Photonics co-founder and CEO, said: “By combining Quantifi Photonics’ deep expertise in photonic testing and Teradyne’s leadership in semiconductor ATE, we are uniquely positioned to revolutionise photonics high-volume manufacturing. The silicon photonics market is at an inflection point that requires innovative, state-of-the-art solutions to unlock its full potential. By combining our strengths, Teradyne and Quantifi Photonics will provide customers with complete turn-key photonic test solutions that allow them to scale. Quantifi Photonics is excited to join the Teradyne family.”
