SUZHOU, China,
Sept.
7, 2023 – Tower
Semiconductor (NASDAQ/TASE: TSEM), the leader in high-value analog
semiconductor foundry solutions, and InnoLight Technology, the
leader in data center optics, today announced their collaboration
to develop multi-generation high-speed optical transceivers based
on Tower’s Silicon Photonics process platform (PH18). With
production already underway, this strategic partnership is expected
to enable cutting-edge solutions to support the growing demands of
AI, datacenters, and next-generation telecom networks. According to
Yole, a market research firm, the silicon photonic die market is
expected to grow at 22% CAGR reaching nearly half-a-billion dollars
by 2027.
Dr. Marco Racanelli, Senior Vice President and
General Manager of Analog Business Unit at Tower Semiconductor: “We
are excited to partner with a leader like InnoLight for the
manufacturing of their current and next-generation optical
transceiver products. Their significant market presence brings high
volumes to our silicon photonics platform turning it into a
mainstream solution further establishing our differentiated SiPho
platforms as the 'go to' solutions for state-of-the-art optical
transceivers in datacenters, AI clusters, as well as for emerging
applications such as sensors, automotive LiDAR, and optical
computing.”
Tower’s industry-leading high-volume PH18M SiPho
platform offers a rich portfolio of optical components, including
ultra-high bandwidth modulators, photodetectors, low-loss
waveguides, and light coupling solutions. Combined with a mature
design enablement infrastructure, the platform delivers accurate
model-to-silicon match that empowers designers to bring disruptive
solutions to market on time and with minimal design iterations.
InnoLight has launched multiple 400G and 800G
products based on the PH18M SiPho platform. 400G parts are
currently in mass production while 800G parts are scheduled to be
in volume production in Q4, 2023. InnoLight also developed
400G COSA, which will be used in its 400G DCO coherent
transceivers.
Osa Mok, the Chief Marketing Officer of
InnoLight, commented on the partnership: “InnoLight has established
itself as an industry leader by rapidly developing and delivering
high-performance optical transceiver products to the market. Our
well-established collaboration with Tower firmly demonstrates that
we have found a foundry partner who not only possesses
best-in-class silicon photonics technology but is also willing to
collaborate closely with us to translate our innovations into
silicon. We anticipate a successful journey together.”
