硅光子元件及制程开发

技术简介： 目前Data Center机柜内的机器，均以电子讯号作为传输媒介，面对未来超高速(100G/400G)传输需求，能耗将是光传输媒介的50~100倍。有鉴于此，利用成熟的硅半导体制程来整合Silicon Photonics技术将可望大幅降低成本。Silicon Photonics关键技术须结合精密半导体制程及光电元件，半导体为既有优势产业，而光通讯元件亦在全球扮演重要角色，其中在光通讯雷射与封装技术皆领先全球；加上法人研究机构在光、电半导体异质整合(hybrid integration)技术的能量，以及学术界在Silicon Photonics的早期投入及布局，未来加上政府政策带动，发展为系统格局的解决方案，再配合台湾在资料中心供应链的长期耕耘及布局，将可为台湾产业创造另一新局面。技术规格： 1.

Semiconductor is Taiwan’s most competitive industry and Taiwan also plays an important role in optical communication devices globally, especially the semiconductor lasers and the related packaging technology. We can bring about a new situation by combining the technology foundations of hybrid integration in semiconductors in RD institutes, the early studies of academia in silicon photonics, the sound supply chain and ecosystem in data centers, together with the leading strategies from governmental agencies so that we can develop the system total solutions for the applications in data centers and commercial applications in the long run.应用范围： 光通讯、光储存、硅光芯片测试 Optical communication, optical storage, and Si Photonic chip test
