UMC thiab Wavetek kos npe rau kev koom tes tsim kev lag luam hauv kev sib tw rau kev lag luam TFLN photonics.
HyperLight's 'Chiplet' TFLN PICs
HyperLight, Harvard University spin- tawm tshwj xeeb hauv nyias- zaj duab xis lithium niobate (TFLN) photonics, tau pom zoo kev tsim khoom lag luam nrog cov koom tes tsim khoom hauv Taiwan vim nws zoo li ntsuas rau ntim ntau lawm.
Kev pib yuav ua haujlwm nrog United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) thiab nws cov khoom siv semiconductor tsom rau cov chaw haujlwm Wavetek los tsim nws lub "Chiplet" platform ntawm 6-nti thiab 8-inch inch wafers.
Chiplet tau hais kom tsis txhob sib koom ua ke cov yam ntxwv zoo tshaj plaws ntawm TFLN - xws li kev ua haujlwm siab electro-optic, tsis tshua muaj qhov muag pom, lub qhov rais dav dav, optical nonlinearities, thiab kev sib raug zoo nrog microelectronic systems - nrog CMOS scalable -zoo li fabrication cov tswv yim.
"Lub [UMC/Wavetek] kev sib koom tes yog ib qho kev cuam tshuam loj hauv kev lag luam ntawm TFLN photonics, ua kom muaj peev xwm tsim tau rau AI thiab huab cua kev xa tawm ntawm qhov ntsuas," tshaj tawm HyperLight.
Kev pib ntxiv hais tias nws txoj hauv kev tshiab yuav xa cov bandwidth tsis tau muaj dua thiab lub zog ua haujlwm rau kev sib txuas lus kho qhov muag thiab AI cov ntaub ntawv chaw, nrog rau cov ntawv thov tshiab xws li quantum xam.
Tsim los pab kom AI-infrastructure- nplai ntau lawm, Chiplet platform tau lees paub los koom ua ke cov cai ntawm luv luv - ncav cuag cov ntaub ntawv chaw pluggables nrog ntev dua - ncav cuag -raws li datacom thiab telecom modules, thiab co- ntim optics (CPO6}) nyob rau hauv ib qho kev ua haujlwm siab
TFLN 'niche era' dhau lawm
Thaum qhov zoo ntawm TFLN tau nkag siab ntev ntev, HyperLight tab tom nrhiav UMC thiab Wavetek los muab qhov siab - ntim cov khoom tsim khoom tsim hluav taws xob uas tam sim no tsis muaj.
Kev pib ua haujlwm twb tau ua haujlwm nrog Wavetek los nqa cov thev naus laus zis los ntawm kev ntsuas ntsuas mus rau tus neeg siv khoom- tsim nyog, siab- ntim tsim khoom (HVM) kab hauv 6-nti CMOS qhov chaw tsim khoom, thiab UMC tam sim no yuav ntxiv nws cov peev xwm tsim khoom 8-nti kom tau raws li hom kev ntsuas uas xav tau los ntawm AI infrastructure.
HyperLight CEO Mian Zhang tau hais tias: "TFLN tau ntev tau lees paub tias yog ib qho ntawm cov thev naus laus zis tseem ceeb tshaj plaws rau yav tom ntej ntawm kev sib txuas kho qhov muag, tab sis kev lag luam tau tos rau txoj hauv kev mus rau qhov tseeb kev tsim khoom.
"Lub HyperLight TFLN Chiplet Platform yog architected los ntawm qhov pib los koom ua ke cov cai ntawm IMDD [kev siv kev hloov kho ncaj qha nrhiav pom], coherent, thiab CPO rau hauv tib lub hauv paus tsim tau.
"Ua ke nrog UMC thiab Wavetek, peb tab tom nqa TFLN rau hauv siab - ntim cov khoom tsim tawm - ua kom muaj kev ua tau zoo, kev ntseeg siab, thiab tus nqi tsim nyog rau AI infrastructure xa tawm thoob ntiaj teb."
UMC senior VP GC Hung tau hais ntxiv tias: "Yuav kom ua tiav 1.6T bandwidth thiab dhau mus, TFLN tau tshwm sim los ua cov khoom cog lus kom xa cov bandwidth yuav tsum tau ua rau -tiam cov ntaub ntawv chaw sib txuas.
"UMC txaus siab los ua tus khub tsim 8-nti tseem ceeb los coj HyperLight's scalable platform rau kev lag luam loj. Qhov kev sib koom tes no tau teeb tsa tus qauv tshiab hauv kev lag luam thiab ua haujlwm rau pab pawg los coj TFLN ntau lawm rau kev loj hlob sai ntawm AI, huab, thiab kev sib koom ua ke. "
