High-Density Electronic-Photonic Chiplet

The TeraPHY™ optical I/O chiplet is a small-footprint, low-power, high-throughput alternative to copper backplane and pluggable optics communications. The TeraPHY chiplet’s modular multiport design can carry eight light channels (the equivalent of an x8 PCIe Gen5 link). This industry-first optical I/O chiplet combines silicon photonics with standard CMOS manufacturing processes. It fits into existing system-in-package architectures and does not require SoC customization.
