CNC Research Seminar to Advance Optoelectronics in Asia
Tokyo, Friday, 6 June 2025.
CNC Research will host a seminar on 8 July 2025, highlighting cutting-edge optoelectronic copackaging technology crucial for electronic integration, targeting Asia’s high-tech industry leaders.
Understanding Optoelectronic Co-Packaging Technology
Optoelectronic co-packaging technology represents a significant advancement in the efficient integration of electronic and optical components onto a single chip. This integration leads to enhanced performance in data transmission and processing capabilities. For instance, combining CMOS processors with laser diodes and photodetectors on a single substrate results in reduced latency and higher data throughput, crucial for modern applications such as high-speed data centers and 5G/6G communications [1].
Benefits and Industry Impact
The benefits of this technology are profound, particularly in sectors reliant on rapid data transfer. Silicon photonics, a key component of optoelectronic co-packaging, facilitates high-bandwidth optical communication, essential for cloud computing and AI-driven data analytics. By using light to transfer data instead of electrical signals, these systems can achieve faster speeds and greater energy efficiency [1][2].
Key Players and Developments
CNC Research, located in Tokyo, Japan, is at the forefront of these developments, leveraging expertise from the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). Akihiro Noriki, a senior researcher at AIST, will lead the seminar to address current challenges and innovations in the field, emphasizing the creation of optical integrated circuit (IC) embedded package substrates as a novel solution to existing technological limitations [1].
Future Prospects and Regional Growth
The market for silicon photonics is projected to experience substantial growth, estimated to reach $26.5 billion USD by 2030, driven by the increased demand for scalable photonic integrated circuits and ultra-fast optical data transmission. Key markets, including the U.S. and Japan, are set to capitalize on this trend, particularly with the expansion of 5G networks and advancements in quantum computing. This growth is supported by strategic partnerships and innovation in photonic technologies [2][3].
