The utilization of silicon photonics technology involves employing both silicon and silicon-based substrate materials (e.g., SiGe/Si/SOI) alongside CMOS processes for developing and integrating optical devices. Its primary characteristic lies in integrating silicon photonics using CMOS manufacturing techniques. Through utilizing advanced technologies like etching processes and epitaxial growth methods on a silicone substrate, crucial components such as modulators and receivers can be fabricated on a silicone wafer achieving seamless integration between these elements as well as passive optical components. Halopix has expertise in integrating all levels ranging from foundational layers to system level thereby enabling comprehensive incorporation spanning across process devices up until systems.
The testing requirements for photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are highly intricate. Given the diverse designs and absence of technical standards, this presents numerous challenges for automated testing. Halopix has developed an automated wafer-level/chip-level edge coupling industrial optoelectronic test and silicon photonics optical test solution based on self-designed silicon photonic chip design, significantly enhancing the efficiency of the testing process and achieving rapid, adaptable, integrated features, automation, traceability, precision, and reliability in testing. This solution caters to the diversified needs of optical devices ranging from laboratory research to mass production, effectively addressing the exponential growth of the global silicon photonics interconnect market.
Through the integration of our self-developed silicon photonic chip design, we have successfully pioneered a unique Chip on Board (COB) technology for manufacturing highly integrated, component-reduced, streamlined processes, and exceptionally reliable silicon photonic engine and module products. These products exhibit superior performance in optics, electronics, and thermal conductivity that surpasses industry standards.
