Alpine Optoelectronics Makes 400G PAM4 nCP4(TM) SiPho Optical Engine on Tower Semiconductor Technology

MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel,and Fremont, California, December 29, 2020 –Tower Semiconductor(NASDAQ/TASE: TSEM), the leader in high-worth analog semiconductor foundry options, and Alpine Optoelectronics, inc, a provider of substantial details charge Silicon Photonics optical motor chips, currently introduced that Alpine Optoelectronics, Inc. commenced manufacturing of its 400G PAM4 nCP4(TM) optical engine on Tower Semiconductor’s PH18 Silicon Photonics technology system. Alpine’s nCP4(TM) chip converts 4 lanes of 56Gbaud electrical enter into 4 lanes of optical output for use in 400Gbps DR4 transceivers to assistance substantial-pace connectivity in data middle applications.

“Alpine picked Tower Semiconductor as a foundry spouse 2 yrs ago, mainly because we imagine in Tower’s capabilities of technology progress and to seamlessly ramp output,” claimed Dr. Tongqing Wang, CEO, Alpine Optoelectronics, Inc. “We had been capable to create a proprietary style to permit wafer degree screening and a flexible however efficient edge coupler that will work with equally lens coupling and fiber array attachment. We are also pleased with the high OE bandwidth of our modulators, many thanks in section to Tower’s range of PN junction doping.”

Primarily based on LightCounting’s current Integrated Optical Devices Report, Silicon Photonics centered optical transceivers will appreciate an yearly development of 45% from 2019 to 2025, and it is expected to attain a market dimensions of 3.9B USD in 2025.
Tower’s PH18 Silicon Photonics open foundry course of action presents a prosperous established of optical elements like ultra-high bandwidth modulators, photodetectors, and lower-decline waveguides that can be blended to help innovative and extremely built-in photonic merchandise.

“We are energized to announce an additional creation achievement story for our open foundry Silicon Photonics system and our partnership with Alpine, an elite provider to some of the leaders in the optical market,” claimed Dr. Marco Racanelli, Senior Vice President and Standard Supervisor of Analog IC Company Device. Tower Semiconductor, “Our unique foundry approach presents prospects like Alpine not only a sustainable stage of maturity but also the flexibility to innovate in a marketplace that is continue to youthful and envisioned to mature strongly in the coming yrs as 400Gb and 800Gb platforms are deployed.”
