10 European Silicon Photonics Research Teams to Coordinate Technology Transfer, Training and Education
10 European R&D project consortia focusing on silicon photonics will coordinate their efforts to faci- litate the transfer of knowledge and technology and strengthen the European electronics industry’s ability to compete globally. Under the umbrella of the Euro- pean Silicon Photonics Cluster, the 10 main projects will coordinate efforts to:
• Raise awareness of the potential of silicon photonics among chip foundries, end-users, start-ups and other companies;
• Broadly disseminate the results of their projects; • Train young scientists, engineers and researchers in this emerging field.
The European Silicon Photonics Cluster represents more than EUR30 million ($36m) in investment by the EU and European countries. In establishing the cluster, the members agree that it is of strategic im- portance to maintain photonic chip-design and chip- integration functions in Europe to improve Europe’s ability to compete globally. Silicon photonics also provides new opportunities and opens new markets for European microelectronics companies. The research projects and their focuses are:
Boom, terabit-on-chip: micro- and nano-scalesilicon photonic integrated components and sub-systems enabling Tb/s capacity, scalable and fully integrated photonic routers.
