TowerJazz was qualified for the production of advanced silicon photonics integrated circuits

TowarJazz has announced that it has been qualified by Inphi for the production of Silicon Photonics Integrated Circuits for data center interconnects.

TowerJazz is now qualified for the production of Silicon Photonics Integrated Circuits for data center interconnects based on TowerJazz’s open foundry Silicon Photonics platform. TowerJazz’s foundry capabilities in advanced RF Silicon and Photonics platforms will be combined with Inphi’s high-speed optics platform expertise and market presence. TowerJazz and Inphi will form the basis for additional co-development.

Silicon Photonics PAM4

Inphi’s Silicon Photonics PAM4 technology is the industry’s first low power and cost-effective 100G DWDM platform solution in QSFP28 form factor. TowerJazz’s PH18 Silicon Photonics platform offers a set of optical components including ultra-high bandwidth modulators and photodetectors.

Dr. Radha Nagarajan, CTO of Inphi said:

“We worked with TowerJazz due to their unique ability to develop new cutting edge technology and offer it in a high-volume, high-quality environment. With Inphi’s proven design expertise and first to market success in the areas of high electrical and optical speed data interconnects, we are looking forward to the continued partnership with TowerJazz in developing the next generation of Silicon Photonics Integrated Circuit components.”
