WIN Semiconductors Launches optical device Foundry Services
Company to provide large scale manufacturing of laser and photodiode designs for 2.5G, 10G and 25G data rates
WIN Semiconductors, the Taiwanese compound semiconductor foundry, has announced its entry into the high data rate optical device market by the addition of optical device production capabilities to its GaAs and GaN technology portfolio.
According to the company, these new foundry services provide flexible, large scale manufacturing of a variety of complex laser and photodiode designs for 2.5G, 10G and 25G data rates. This vertical production capability provides customisable manufacturing services including epitaxial growth/regrowth, material and device characterisation as well as full device fabrication and testing.
WIN's flexible epitaxial growth and optical device manufacturing will accommodate InP substrates from two-inch to four-inch diameter. Epitaxial growth/characterisation services for lasers and photo diodes are now in place, and installation/development of a complete optical device fabrication line is underway and scheduled for full release by Q4 2016.
This vertically integrated device capability will provide the optical market with access to WIN Semiconductors' manufacturing scale, production efficiency and technology expertise.
