Recently, French silicon photonics company Scintil Photonics announced an exciting collaboration, successfully integrating III-V-DFB lasers and amplifiers with standard silicon photonics technology in the production of Israeli semiconductor company Tower Semiconductor. This milestone collaboration marks a crucial step for Scintil in strengthening its supply chain, bringing new possibilities to communication technology.

Scintil's fully integrated circuits utilize unique proprietary technology, leveraging the power of standard silicon photonics to achieve single-chip integration of lasers and amplifiers. This technology brings higher performance, speed, reliability, and density to data centers, artificial intelligence, and 5G applications while maintaining low power consumption.

Scintil has chosen Tower Semiconductor's large-scale basic PH18M silicon photon foundry technology, which includes low loss waveguides, photodetectors, and modulators. By integrating DFB lasers and amplifiers on a single chip on the back of the wafer, Scintil's circuit not only eliminates the need for sealed packaging in customer testing, but also demonstrates significant improvements in aging and robustness.

Sylvie Menezo, President and CEO of Scintil Photonics, welcomes the collaboration with the world's leading wafer foundry, Tower Semiconductor. She stated that this marks an important milestone in their ability to provide laser enhanced silicon photonic ICs, redefining integration, performance, and scalability. This will enable Scintil to produce in large quantities to meet market demand. In addition, their technology provides extraordinary opportunities for the integration of more materials, such as quantum dots and lithium niobate materials.

According to market research firm LightCounting, the silicon photon transceiver market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24%, and its total addressable market (TAM) is expected to reach at least $7 billion by 2025. This indicates that the prospects of silicon photon technology in the field of communication are very promising.

Edward Preisler, Vice President and General Manager of the RF Business Unit at Tower Semiconductor, stated that they are pleased to support Scintil in this highly integrated solution. This solution fully utilizes Tower's mature production components, especially the integration of III-V optical amplifiers/lasers, in line with Tower Semiconductor's commitment to bringing cutting-edge silicon photon technology to the market.
