Our Technology

Silicon photonics is revolutionizing data communications, enabling faster and more efficient interconnects for 100Gbe, 400Gbe, 800Gbe, and beyond. With growing demands from data centers and fibre-to-the-home (FTTH), advanced functionalities like wavelength tuning and switching are becoming essential. 

CompoundTek provides a production-proven platform for fabricating silicon photonic ICs, offering a robust Process Design Kit (PDK) and essential building blocks for Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) and standalone product runs. Our technology supports applications such as biomedical sensing, LIDAR, optical interconnectivity, AI/ML, and high-performance computing. 

Key features include: 

  • Precision Si & SiN Waveguides – High-performance optical pathways for maximum efficiency 
  • Thermal Tuning – TiN & ion-implanted heaters for precise wavelength control •Advanced Ion Implantations – Six doping options (N, N+, N++, P, P+, P++) for optimized performance 
  • Ge Photodetectors – Lateral & vertical designs for superior detection 
  • Robust Metal Layers – Ultra-thick Cu & Al for high-reliability interconnects 
  • Advanced Etching Techniques – Deep trench silicon & oxide etching for tailored optical components 

CompoundTek empowers innovators to push the boundaries of silicon photonics.
