Tower Semiconductor Begins Production of
1.6Tbps Optical Transceivers on its Latest Silicon Photonics
Platform
Addressing the surging demand for faster,
high-capacity solutions for AI, cloud computing, and data centers
by doubling the speed of today’s 800Gbps high-volume
transceivers
MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel, November
19,2024 – Tower Semiconductor (NASDAQ/TASE: TSEM), a
leading foundry of high-value analog semiconductor solutions, today
announced the start of volume production of 1.6 Tbps silicon
photonic products for multiple lead customers based on its latest
Silicon Photonics (SiPho) platform. Tower’s latest platform
includes innovations that have helped double data rates relative to
its current 800 Gpbs high-volume products. These innovations have
been developed in close collaboration with several Tier 1 customers
that have designed breakthrough 1.6Tbps products on this enhanced
platform and have now begun to order production quantities.
The process supports data rates of 200Gbps per
lane, of which eight are built in parallel to achieve the total
1.6Tbps transceiver throughput. This is in contrast to the 100Gbps
per lane data rates of existing high-volume silicon photonic
technology as used in today’s high-volume 800Gbps products.
“We have recently announced 1.6Tbps optical
transceivers based on silicon photonics technology in addition to
ramping up our SiPho based 8x100G transceivers. We are very happy
to have a strong partner in Tower. Tower can help innovate and
bring to market advanced technology and also has the experience to
ramp silicon photonic products to high-volume thereby benefiting
our mutual customers.” said Dr. Jack Xu,
VP of Transceiver Engineering, Coherent Corp.
Tower’s high volume Silicon Photonics platform
delivers all of the key enabling features required for high data
rate optical transceivers including high bandwidth optical
modulators and low-loss edge coupling from lasers, and to optical
fibers. These features play a vital role in the development of
high-speed data communication components and vastly support the
industry shift from 100Gbs per lane to 200Gbs per lane and
beyond.
“We are thrilled to announce this achievement
and to see it deployed by esteemed companies like Coherent, a
leader in high-speed data communications,” said Dr. Marco
Racanelli, President of Tower Semiconductor. “As always,
Tower is dedicated to delivering cutting-edge technology solutions
that empower our customers to shape and advance their respective
markets.”
