Advanced R&D at ST Microelectronics on Silicon Photonics for Emerging Applications

Silicon Photonics has been developed at ST Microelectronics, leading to the PIC25G and PIC50G technologies. Initially, this technology was mainly aimed at supporting communication in data centers, but recently there has been growing interest in new types of applications. After a description of the 300 mm Silicon Photonics platform, some applications such as transceivers for Datacom, LiDAR, integrated optical gyroscope, biosensors, and non-classical implementation of light
for quantum cryptography will be shown.
During the seminar, some opportunities in ST for Master Degree and/or Doctoral theses on these topics will be proposed.

Speaker: Dr. Antonio Fincato, ST Microelectronics
