izmomicro’s Silicon Photonics Packaging Breakthrough Adding to India’s Semiconductor Innovation

izmomicro, a division of izmo Ltd., has achieved a significant milestone in silicon photonics packaging, marking a pivotal advancement for India’s semiconductor industry. The company has developed a high-density silicon photonics packaging platform supporting 32-channel fiber input and output with an insertion loss of less than 2 dB. The module includes 32 DC I/Os, 4 RF I/Os, and high-speed RF performance up to 70 GHz, addressing key challenges in optical alignment, assembly processes, and electronic integration.

This development stems from izmomicro’s sustained investment in research and development and its expertise in advanced semiconductor packaging. The platform’s high-density integration and low signal loss are critical for applications in AI, cloud computing, and telecommunications, enabling scalability for hyperscale data centers, AI clusters, and 5G/6G networks. Silicon photonics, as a solution to the limitations of copper interconnects, supports multi-terabit optical communication essential for these technologies.

Dinanath Soni, Executive Director of izmomicro, stated that this achievement places the company among a small group globally with such capabilities and marks it as the first in India to reach this level. He noted that the breakthrough will support the growing demands of data-driven applications.
