01 · Application

Application

Photonic Integrated Circuits use light to transmit and process data in optical networks, AI infrastructure, LiDAR, and sensing systems. Packaging often requires bonding fiber array units to chip edge couplers while preserving optical coupling performance.

02 · Challenge

Challenge

PIC packaging is highly sensitive to alignment shift, adhesive shrinkage, and refractive index variation. A small change during curing can reduce coupling efficiency and lower production yield. Process validation is also important for foundry and OSAT production environments.

03 · Solution
