Beyond all of the hype and tumult, market drivers and technological developments are converging to ensure a bright future for Si photonics.
THOUGH THE SI PHOTONICS MARKET HAS JUST KICKED OFF, VOLUME PRODUCTION IS ALREADY CLOSE
Big data is getting bigger by the second, and transporting it with existing technologies will push the limits of power consumption, density and weight. Yole Développement analysts are convinced that photons will replace electrons, and that Si photonics will be the mid-term platform to assist this transition.
Si photonics offers the advantages of silicon technology: low cost, higher integration, more embedded functionalities and higher interconnect density. It also provides two other key advantages:
1. Low power consumption: particularly when compared to copper-based solutions, which are expensive and require high electrical consumption.
2. Reliability: especially important for data centers, where a typical rack server’s lifespan is two years before replacement.
Back in 2006, VOA were the market’s first Si photonics products. Today, there are still a few Si photonics products on the market (i.e. VOA, AOC and transceivers from Luxtera, Kotura/Mellanox and Cisco/Lightwire) but big companies (i.e. Intel, HP and IBM) are close to realizing silicon photonics products. Yole Développement also sees big OEMs such as Facebook, Google and Amazon developing their own optical data center technology in partnership with chip firms (such as Facebook with Intel).
In this report Yole Développement shows that, in the short-term, silicon photonics will be the platform solution for future high-power, high-bandwidth data centers. Silicon photonics chips will be deployed in high-speed signal transmission systems, which greatly exceed copper cabling’s capabilities, i.e. for data centers and high-performance computing (HPC). As silicon photonics evolves and chips become more sophisticated, we expect the technology to be used more often in processing tasks such as interconnecting multiple cores within processor chips to boost access to shared cache and busses.
Analysts also analyzed silicon photonics’ chances of being used for telecom, consumer, medical and biosensors applications, compared with competing technologies.

Silicon Photonics for Data Centers and Other Applications 2016 - Report by Yo...Yole Developpement
Exponential data growth in data centers will propel silicon photonics to take off into other applications, like lidar.
Big data is getting bigger by the second. Transporting this level of data around with existing technologies will soon reach power consumption, density and weight limits. Photons will continue to replace electrons throughout networks, including in the data center, in the rack and very soon on the board.
Silicon photonics is an exciting technology mixing optics, CMOS technology and advanced packaging. It combines silicon technology’s low cost, higher integration and interconnect density and higher number of embedded functionalities with lower power consumption and better reliability compared to legacy optics.
Massive R&D investments have been made in silicon photonics, but today there are still few products on the market. However, this technology has been strongly pushed by large Webcom companies such as Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook, with investments that will overtake the traditional service providers’ investments in a few years. These Webcom players are targeting $1/Gb prices and are principals for the development of cost-effective photonics technology for future generations of data centers.

Growing photolithography equipment markets in Advanced Packaging, MEMS and LEDs are attracting new players – but they have to navigate complex roadmaps.
Clear leaders and outsiders: At first glance, the projection systems industry serving the “More Moore” and the “More than Moore” markets are similar…
The semiconductor industry is very often identified by its “More Moore” players, driven by technology downscaling and cost reduction. There’s one clear leader supplying photolithography tools to the “More Moore” industry: ASML, based in The Netherlands. It’s followed by two Japanese outsiders, Nikon and Canon. Providing this market with photolithography equipment is highly complex and there are gigantic barriers to market entry. Enormous R&D investments are required as the key features to print shrink ever further. Also, the tolerances specified are very aggressive and thus equipment complexity keeps on increasing...
Which companies own patents in microLED display? What are their major thrust areas and

Market & Technology Trends in Materials and Equipement for Printed and Flexib...Yole Developpement
Combined flexible & printed electronic applications could reach US$1B in 2020. Multiple applications are driving growth!
TECHNICAL CHALLENGES ARE CLOSE TO BEING OVERCOME TO REACH US$1B MARKET BY 2020
Today flexible & printed electronics create a lot of hope. And a supply chain is being created to support an industrial infrastructure. In our report, we have identified and tracked the five main functionalities of flexible & printed electronics: displaying, sensing, lighting, energy generating and substrates. The different degrees of freedom in flexibility that can be obtained can be divided into:
- Conformable substrate: the flexible substrate will be shaped in a definitive way after processing
- “Bendable” substrate: they can be rolled and bent many times (even if we consider it will not be a key feature coming from customer needs)
- “Unused” flexibility: in the end, the flexibility is not an added value to the customer
We believe some applications will be more likely than other to be successful – for example, bendable applications will undergo tough stress during use and technological challenges will be hard to overcome. Our report shows the distinction between the functions (displaying, lighting, energy conversion, sensing & substrates) and the seek flexibility “degree of freedom”. We do not make the distinction in our report between organic and inorganic substrates as semiconductors can also be used as flexible substrates.
However, we believe over the next several years, the number of applications using printing processes for flexible electronics will grow (Figure on page 2).
We estimate the printed & flexible electronics market will grow from ~ $176M in 2013 to ~$950M in 2020 with a 27% CAGR in market value. Printed OLED displays for large size (TVs) are likely to become the largest market. For OLED lighting, we believe it will grow but remain a niche market for automotive and/ or office lighting. For PV, the market demand by 2020 will remain very low compared to the demand for rigid PV, largely below 1% of the global market demand by 2020. Sensor, smart system & polytronic applications will include sensors, touchless / touch screens, RF ID applications.
A WIDE, EXCITING RANGE OF NEW APPLICATIONS
Printed & flexible electronics is a new exiting technology with large potential market expectations. Indeed, as semiconductors move to the very small with 22nm critical dimension, printed electronics moves to the other end of the spectrum with its own material, equipment, process challenges and supply chain. Printed electronics will not kill semiconductor electronics as it will not be a replacement for CMOS silicon.

On one hand it can adapt to product diversification, offering more functionality, system integration, and performance, as well as potentially lower manufacturing cost; and on the other hand it can adhere to future scaling requirements. Advanced substrates are the key interconnect component of advanced packaging architectures and are critical in enabling future products and markets. For this reason, Yole has established this stand-alone dedicated advanced substrate activity, focused on exploring the market and technologies of PCBs, package substrates and RDLs. This first report will serve as an overview of advanced substrate technologies, markets, and supply chain, to be supported by subsequent in-depth reports.
Today’s advanced substrates in volume are Flip Chip (FC) substrates, 2.5D/3D TSV assemblies, and thin-film RDLs (Fan-Out WLP, or “FOWLP”) below an L/S resolution of 15/15 um and with transition below L/S < 10/10 um. These advanced substrates are traditionally linked to higher-end logic (CPUs/GPUs, DSPs, etc.) driven by ICs in the latest technology nodes in the computing, networking, mobile, and high-end consumer market segments (gaming, HD/Smart TV). However, due to additional form factor and low power demands, WLP and advanced FC substrates are also widespread in majority of smartphone functions: application processors, baseband, transceivers, filters, amplifiers, WiFi modules, drivers, codecs, power management, etc.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
