We are excited to join PIXEurope, the European pilot line for Advanced Photonic Integrated Circuits. Coordinated by ICFO from Barcelona and supported by various European entities, PIXEurope is set to invest around 400 million to boost Europe's photonic chip capabilities. At SAL, we are honored to be part of this ambitious initiative. We will contribute our specialized expertise in photonics technology and thin-film development, along with advanced manufacturing capabilities. Our overall goal is to ensure robust fabrication processes and efficient technology transfers to the industry. 👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/drfKS5EE #pilotline #chipsju #chipsact #thinfilms #pic #photonics #lithiumniobate #aluminumnitride #PIXEurope

🚀 New Origin at the PIC Summit 2024: Fading Boundaries in Photonic Innovation 🚀 Today, our CEO Twan Korthorst proudly introduced New Origin at the PIC Summit Europe as the pure-play #chiptech foundry for silicon nitride wafers. As the demand for photonic chips surges across industries, a key question emerges: How do we tackle the challenges of these new applications? The answer is clear: New Origin. Twan’s talk emphasized the critical need for volume production to meet the growing opportunities in photonics. Fading the boundaries of what’s possible, New Origin is committed to pushing forward by scaling production and driving investment in this cutting-edge technology. #NewOrigin #PICSummit2024 #FadingBoundaries #Photonics #SiliconNitride #TechInnovation #FutureOfTech #InvestInInnovation #chiptechtwente

Thanks for all the kind words and positive reactions over the last few days. It seems my presentation sparked quite a few discussions around more aligned pre-competitive collaboration (especially in Europe) to accelerate much needed innovations and drive towards industrial scale manufacturing of PICs with the right performance at the right cost to fulfill the promise of value for applications in optical datacom, optical I/O, sensing, consumer, and more.

We are proud to play a key role in this visionary European photonics pilot line, leveraging our expertise in integrating cutting-edge electro-optic materials, such as lithium niobate and aluminum nitride thin films on 200mm platforms, supporting Europe's establishment as a global epicenter for PIC ownership, design, and manufacturing excellence.
