STMicro ramps silicon photonics platform
Chip loj npaj rau ntau tshaj plaub lub peev xwm rau 'PIC 100' txheej txheem los ntawm xyoo tom ntej.
PIC 100 ramp
STMicroelectronics hais tias nws "PIC100" silicon photonics thev naus laus zis - tau nthuav tawm dhau ib xyoos dhau los - tam sim no yuav nkag mus rau kev tsim khoom loj rau kev sib txuas kho qhov muag hauv cov chaw khaws ntaub ntawv thiab AI suav nrog pawg.
Fabricated ntawm tag nrho -loj 300 mm- txoj kab uas hla silicon wafers ntawm lub tuam txhab lub chaw hauv Grenoble, Fabkis, txoj hauv kev yog nyob ib ncig ntawm ntug-coupled Mach-Zehnder modulation, uas ST hais tias muab kev sib tw zoo dua ntawm hom fiber ntau thiab ntawm {5}conlitideguide yoj sip
"Peb cia siab tias yuav muaj plaub npaug ntawm peb cov khoom tsim los ntawm 2027 kom ua tau raws li qhov kev thov loj heev rau silicon photonics thev naus laus zis uas txhawb nqa bandwidth ntau dua thiab lub zog ua haujlwm zoo rau cov neeg ua haujlwm hyperscalers 'AI workloads," tshaj tawm lub tuam txhab, uas tsim txoj hauv kev nrog cov neeg siv khoom tseem ceeb Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Fabio Gualandris, tus thawj tswj hwm ntawm ST's "Quality, Manufacturing & Technology" chav ua lag luam, ntxiv tias: "Tom qab tshaj tawm nws cov tshuab thev naus laus zis silicon photonics tshiab thaum Lub Ob Hlis 2025, ST tam sim no nkag mus rau siab - ntim ntau lawm rau cov thawj coj hyperscalers.
"Kev sib xyaw ua ke ntawm peb lub tshuab thev naus laus zis thiab cov nplai zoo tshaj ntawm peb cov kab tsim khoom 300 hli ua rau peb muaj kev sib tw tshwj xeeb los txhawb AI infrastructure super- voj voog. Qhov kev nthuav dav nrawm no tau ua tiav los ntawm cov neeg siv khoom ntev - lub sijhawm muaj peev xwm tshwj xeeb cog lus."
CPO pab
ST hais txog cov duab los ntawm lub tuam txhab kev sib txuas lus kho qhov muag LightCounting qhia tias kev ua lag luam rau cov ntaub ntawv chaw pluggable optics tau nce mus rau $ 15.5 nphom hauv xyoo 2025, nrog kev loj hlob txhua xyoo ntawm 17 feem pua yuav tsum tsav tag nrho tshaj $ 34 billion los ntawm qhov kawg ntawm lub xyoo caum.
LightCounting CEO Vladimir Kozlov ntxiv tias, los ntawm qhov ntawd, kev lag luam tawm tshiab rau co-packaged optics (CPO) yuav pab tau ntau dua $ 9 nphom hauv cov nyiaj tau los.
"Lub sijhawm tib lub sijhawm, qhov sib faib ntawm cov transceivers suav nrog silicon photonics modulators tau kwv yees kom nce ntawm 43 feem pua hauv 2025 txog 76 feem pua los ntawm 2030," nws hais hauv ST qhov kev tso tawm.
"ST tus thawj coj silicon photonics platform, ua ke nrog nws txoj kev npaj muaj peev xwm nthuav dav, qhia txog nws lub peev xwm los muab cov hyperscalers nrog kev ruaj ntseg, ntev - muab khoom, kwv yees tau zoo, thiab kev tsim khoom muaj zog."
ST tau teeb tsa los nthuav tawm PIC100 platform ntawm lub lim tiam tom ntej Optical Fiber Conference (OFC) kev tshwm sim hauv Los Angeles, thaum tseem qhia txog qhov tshiab los ntawm -silicon ntawm (TSV) uas tau cog lus tias yuav ua rau muaj kev sib txuas ntxiv ntawm qhov muag, kev sib koom ua ke, thiab cov txheej txheem -theem thermal efficiency.
"Lub PIC100 TSV platform yog tsim los txhawb cov tiam tom ntej ntawm ze -pob optics (NPO) thiab co-packaged optics (CPO), ua ke nrog hyperscalers 'ntev- lub sij hawm tsiv teb tsaws txoj hauv kev mus rau qhov sib sib zog nqus optical-electronic kev koom ua ke rau scale nce," ST tshaj tawm.
"[Peb] tam sim no tau nthuav tawm lub pob zeb PIC100-TSV thev naus laus zis txoj hauv kev. Los ntawm kev siv ultra- luv luv ntsug hluav taws xob sib txuas, ST tuaj yeem txhawb nqa ntau qhov denser module thiab txhawb nqa ze rau - thiab co-packaged optics. Nws tseem yuav pab kom peb tsim cov thev naus laus zis uas muaj peev xwm hais txog 400 Gb / s.
