Optical Interconnects
HIGHLIGHTS
Optical Interconnects for Telecommunication and Data Center Applications
Optoelectronics based optical transceiver
- Optical data transmission applicable to inter/intra data center communication
- 50Gbps device capability including modulator and photodetector
- Extremely low fiber-to-waveguide coupling loss with <1dB/facet coupling loss in O-band
S$5.5 billion by 2021
Transceivers & Active Optical Cables
Enabling faster speed, higher performance data interconnection
(Above) Embedded Optics Market segment- Nascent stage & LMHV
(Typical CMOS fab interest). Permanent Market Fracture = Opportunity for HMLV Micro Foundry (MF)
Advantages
- AMF has partnered with over 70% of optoelectronics product companies
- Optoelectronics global market is picking up significantly over the last few years
- The current wafer volume level (<20,000 wafers/year) is too low to interest CMOS foundries
- Telecom & Data Centres require a variety of process flows with each process flow commanding small volumes (100’s of wafers/year)
- Permanent market fracture: High Mix Low Volume (HMLV) Telecom, Data Centre Interconnects vs Low Mix High Volume (LMHV) Embedded Optics
