OPTOELECTRONICS
maximise yield and reduce costly design iterations. Each includes fabrication-aware scattering parameters (S-Params) for full circuit simulation, ensuring compatibility with leading photonic design tools and streamlining the development process. WAVE Photonics offers several PDK options to address diverse application needs. Its Silicon Nitride for Quantum (SiNQ) platform is the world’s most expansive photonics PDK, spanning 33 wavelengths (from 493 nm to 1550 nm) to support integrated photonic circuits for quantum applications. For telecommunications, the Telecoms-band PDKs cover multiple wavelength bands, offering a streamlined path to packaged devices using the company’s QPICPAC service.
These advanced solutions are made accessible through CORNERSTONE’s foundry platform, cementing a robust pathway from research to commercial deployment. Furthermore, WAVE Photonics offers rapid custom PDK generation for demanding sectors including AI data centres, gas sensing, and satellite communication, with aluminium oxide, gallium arsenide, and various others available.
Conclusion
This working partnership highlights the transformative potential of combining computational innovation with structured industrial processes. By addressing manufacturing imperfections head-on, the company aims to chart a course towards a new era in SiPh – one where it is possible to design mass-production-ready SiPh devices in the virtual world.
Building on the success of its existing
foundry, the CORNERSTONE Photonics Innovation Centre (C-PIC) is already providing enhanced packaging support, application expertise, training resources and an ecosystem of online tools. Together, C-PIC, including the CORNERSTONE foundry, continues to support WAVE Photonics in scaling their technology platform and removing persistent barriers to wider SiPh adoption.
