Oh My!! LWLG to the rescue of Intel/Ayar/GF!!! Today, silicon microring modulators are perceived as promising to implement such links; however, they provide limited bandwidth and need thermal stabilization systems.
Confirmation on what ole Proto been telling y'all here!!!
LWLG has NO COMPETITION!!!! NOTHING EVEN CLOSE!!!!
White Paper - Hybrid Integration of Exotic Materials in CMOS Platform
This white paper marks the first direct evidence of a connection between GlobalFoundries, (Intel)Ayar Labs, and EO polymers.
Intel/Ayar MRR fatal issues solved by LWLG Polymers, just read posts #133274_#133275_#133276 and understand the following about the position LWLG is currently in, here to summarize for you,
#133274 Intel/Ayar for many years now have focused on their Next-Gen Photonics solution using silicon based MRR's, but there is an inherent problem with this technology, temperature control, which cannot be solved, at least not economically, read this to better understand, https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=171251782
#133276 Intel in 2022 after a handful of years selling Photonics devices achieved RECORD unit volume of about 2 million units!! Here KCC points out that LWLG can achieve these same volumes, perhaps even more, with one small Foundry & one Customer!! read this to better understand, https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=171251790
Ok, now consider the following,
Lebby in Podcast 2/14/23 said "We work with Big Silicon Foundries"
Could be "milliions of devices" being said BECAUSE of the link to Intel/Ayar Labs!! Wake up people!!
SilOrix talking "millions of devices"!! SilOrix presentation
Per Adrian Mertens at PIC International 2023 Brussels from the SilOriX presentation:
1:16 Planning to produce in mass. We’re not talking hundreds, we’re talking millions of devices. 1:55 Organic electro-optic polymer can be dissolved. It’s a solution process, at least as scalable as silicon foundry processes. 3:50 Can be produced with completely standard foundry processes. 100% backend applied using heat and applied voltage, then allowed to cool while voltage is still applied. 4:35 Polling process, which can also be done on the wafer level 6:00 Long-term stable. 50% in the room raise doubts about stability as soon as they hear “polymer”. Testing at 130 degrees C for 6-7000 hours. 9:13 In a nutshell, totally scalable backend applied, doesn’t need changes in the foundry. 130 GBd PAM-4 sub-V driverless signal 800G devices are ready for testing, and then later integration.
-IBB
So it looks to me like SilOrix is ready to enable transceivers with LWLG inside, and they expect to be able to scale to sell millions of modulators, logically would think this might be another Licensing Agreement coming soon
