SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 6, 2018 — Semiconductor foundry
GlobalFoundries Inc. has announced details of its “silicon photonics
roadmap” that aims to enable the next generation of optical
interconnects for data center and cloud applications.
The company has now qualified a 90-nm manufacturing process using 300-mm wafers while also unveiling its upcoming 45-nm technology to deliver higher bandwidth and energy efficiency. GlobalFoundries’ silicon photonics technologies are designed to support the data of today’s global communication infrastructure. Instead of traditional interconnects that transmit data using electrical signals over copper wires, silicon photonics technology uses pulses of light through optical fibers to move more data at higher speeds and over longer distances, while also minimizing energy loss.
