Silicon Photonics

the new era of data

StarIC’s expertise in analog/mixed-signal design is unlocking the future by propelling the integration of silicon photonics with electronics. Our IP portfolio for the Global Foundries Fotonix™ process provides foundational building IP for silicon photonics, fostering innovation and offering solutions to those building revolutionary technologies for the new era of data. As a strategic partner of Global Foundries, we’re committed to developing a comprehensive roadmap of IPs and Platform Solutions to support a robust silicon photonics connectivity ecosystem.

GF Fotonix is a monolithic platform, the first in the industry to combine its differentiated 300mm photonics features and 300GHz-class RF-CMOS on a silicon wafer, delivering best-in-class performance at scale. A next generation process, Fotonix™ is a widely disruptive silicon photonics platform which has active design wins with major customers and has achieved significant market share today and expects its growth in this segment to outpace the market. The GF Fotonix platform has seen adoption by major players in AI, Quantum computing, and optical interconnect for data centers.

Additional IPs in the Fotonix™ process are available through an NDA. Contact us for more details.
