Silicon Nitride (SiN) Technology Platform for Integrated Photonics
Photonic chips leverage the unique properties of light, miniaturization, integration, and wafer-scale manufacturing to provide disruptive solutions for applications in domains like optical communication, HPC/AI, LiDAR, AR/VR, bio-sensing, imaging, and quantum. Our Silicon Nitride Photonics Technology Platform stands out for low loss propagation and the ability to handle wavelengths, from visible to near-infrared.
Expertise
Producing Silicium Nitride Photonic Chips
New Origin’s state-of-the-art wafer manufacturing process for silicon nitride photonic chips is rooted in more than 30 years of experience developing and optimizing integrated photonics with nitride-based waveguides. The development from early Silicon-Oxide-Nitride (SiON) chips to today’s most advanced SiN Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) has resulted in a vibrant academic, research, and commercial ecosystem in Twente (The Netherlands), with solid and close relations with other Dutch and European regions. New Origin targets undisputed quality, industry-leading short turnaround times at the right cost for a global customer base. Our soon-to-be-build foundry will establish New Origin as an independent pure-play foundry, manufacturing chips that push the boundaries of what is possible and revolutionizing the industry by producing cutting-edge silicon nitride photonic chips.
Electronics and Photonics
And we are already looking further ahead. The semiconductor industry is trending towards “systems of chips,” combining state-of-the-art electronic and photonic chips using advanced packaging and heterogeneous integration techniques. Our facilities allow us to scale in volume and introduce new key enabling technologies to address our customers’ needs. We aim to add capabilities to fabricate heterogeneous chips and “systems of chips,” aiming to grow towards large-scale production.
