VLC Photonics specializes in designing Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) tailored to your technical specifications and requirements. As a fabless and independent design house, our expertise is in all the key material platforms such as Silicon photonics (SOI, SiN, SiO2/PLC), III-V materials (InP, GaAs, etc.), and cutting-edge platforms like Thin film Lithium Niobate (TFLN), BTO, polymers, AlO2 or Graphene. Our proficiency extends to various design software frameworks and toolboxes with industry leading EDA solutions.
Key Highlights:
- Broad Photonic Material Expertise: Proficiency in III-V semiconductors and Silicon Photonics, enabling versatile design options.
- Proprietary Modules and Libraries: We utilize our proprietary modules and libraries of functional building blocks, ensuring optimal performance for your application and minimizing risks.
- Industry Standards: Adherence to industry-standard design practices for manufacturability, testability, and packaging.
- Confidentiality and IP Security: Your intellectual property is treated with the utmost confidentiality and security, always ensuring freedom to operate.
PDK Development:
- Customized Process Design Kit (PDK) implementations tailored to your specific PIC manufacturing platform, either for foundries or for end-user private component libraries.
Our offerings:
- Custom Design Service:
We offer modelling, simulation, and design and layout of proprietary photonic components and circuits, extending beyond standard libraries provided by foundries. - Layout Service:
Expert layout services for complex photonic integrated circuits. Foundry design rule checking (DRC), Layout vs. schematic (LVS), Testing, and packaging design rules are taken into account for the final layout. - Design Support:
Engineering support for your in-house design team, covering design, layout, DRC tasks, overall review, and advice on design for manufacturing, testing, and packaging, always in a secure IP environment.
