Keeping Up With Moore's Law: Mass Producing SiP Components With Silicon Photonics Alignment Automation

By Scott Jordan, Sr., PI (Physik Instrumente) LP 

New advancements in computer performance comprise the shrinking of feature sizes and the shift to 10 nm technologies. As these enhancements are implemented, extraordinary performance levels will come from the use of silicon photonics, or the integration of optical circuits on semiconductor wafers, instead of the use of electronics. This white paper discusses the silicon photonics alignment automation technology and how it is a key element in the mass production of SiP components. Download the full paper for more information.
