LIGENTEC is your strategic partner for high-performance integrated photonics. Utilizing our unique 200 mm volume-scale Silicon Nitride (SiN) platform, we provide customized, low-loss Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) solutions spanning from research and development to high-volume manufacturing.

We are committed to delivering reliable, high-quality PICs supported by expert assistance. This dedication enables industry-leading performance in crucial applications such as LIDAR, Quantum and Optical Computing, Biosensing, Datacom, Telecom, and Metrology.

We streamline your integrated photonics development through a structured yet flexible process.  Our journey together typically starts with a project consultation, where we understand your vision and application requirements. This leads into the design and optimization phase, leveraging our comprehensive PDKs and expert support (Design Enablement & Expert Support) to ensure your concepts are manufacturable.

• For rapid testing and validation, our fast-turnaround, industrialised 200 mm processing line supports dedicated runs for accelerated development cycles, while our MPW Program offers a cost-effective alternative for prototyping.
• As your design matures, we transition to pilot production and ultimately high-volume manufacturing through our Dedicated Foundry Services, integrating advanced components and modules where needed (Integrated Component Libraries & Advanced Modules).
• For unique challenges, we offer custom integration and strategic R&D partnerships throughout this process to pioneer new functionalities.

Bringing cutting-edge photonic designs to reliable, high-volume production requires precision and consistency. Our state-of-the-art, automotive-qualified 200 mm SiN foundry provides the solution:

• Unparalleled Performance: Ultra-low propagation losses (<0.5 dB/m) and high-Q resonators (>20M) for precision.
• Uncompromising Quality: Optical and morphological testing, certifications, and Statistical Process Control (SPC) ensure reliability and peace of mind.
• Industrial Scalability: Robust 200 mm platform for efficient, high-volume manufacturing to meet market demand.

Overcome scaling challenges with LIGENTEC’s trusted foundry expertise.
