Silicon Photonics 2018 - Report by Yole Developpement Yole Developpement
Fueled by increasing internet traffic thanks to social networks, video and gaming content, increasing bandwidth will be required for inter- and intra-data center communications. As a short term answer to this possible bandwidth congestion, new photonics technology for transceivers is still pulled onto the market by Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft (GAFAM) and now by Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent (BAT) in China.
More information on that report at http://www.i-micronews.com/reports.html
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.

As an old but still gold-standard member of the compound semiconductor family, InP possesses the key advantages of emission and detection capabilities over 1000 nm in the photonics domain, as well as high speed and low noise performance in high-frequency RF applications. Though it is
often overshadowed by rivals like GaAs and SiGe for mass-volume, cost-driven RF applications, InP remains a top choice for performance-driven niche markets like military communication, radar, and radiometry, as well as automatic test equipment. Moreover, different industrial actors (i.e. Skyworks, GCS, and IntelliEPI) are monitoring InP technology for the upcoming 5G move.

Advanced Substrates Overview: From IC Package to Board - 2017 Report by Yole ...Yole Developpement
How can advanced substrates and boards bridge the gap created by front-end scaling?
Advanced substrates as a key enabler of future products and markets
In an uncertain, transformative semiconductor market, advanced packaging is one of the key technologies offering stability and a long-term solution. 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.

IR LEDS and VCSELs - Technology, Applications and Industry Trends - 2017 Repo...Yole Developpement
3D imaging, gas sensing and autofocus will fuel the IR light source market to reach US$3.8B in 2027.
INFRA-RED LIGHT SOURCES: A $1.5B OPPORTUNITY IN 2022 – AND POTENTIALLY $3.8B IN 2027 – DRIVEN BY SEVERAL NEW APPLICATIONS
The market for LED and laser infra-red (IR) light sources is not new, but has evolved rapidly with the recent development of Solid State Lighting (SSL). Initially developed for optical communication applications, these technologies, mostly IR LEDs, started to be integrated into consumer applications like remote controls in the 1980s. Next, the market was driven forward by night vision applications such as surveillance cameras. But it’s only recently, with the development of smartphones, that IR LEDs and lasers have come back to prominence. And now, the market is set for growth for the next 10 years! Today, these technologies are part of a new revolution, still driven by smartphone applications. Integration of breakthrough functionalities such as 3D imaging, autofocus, iris and face recognition is triggering a strong market pull for efficient, miniaturized and complex IR illumination. This trend will also create strong market opportunities for IR lasers, mostly VCSELs, which allow more coherent and directional light than IR LEDs. In this context, we expect the IR light source market to grow from around $450M in 2016 to around $1,550M in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate of 22.7%. In addition, there are also several other applications that are emerging and for which a market boom is likely to happen in the next 10 years. These include gas sensors, LIDARs, driver monitoring systems and remote patient monitoring sensors. We expect this second wave of new applications to propel the IR light source market to around $3,800M in 2027. This report provides an in-depth analysis of all IR light source applications, including: basic principles, technology, trends, key players, and market size. It highlights the global landscape for IR light sources, including classification of applications by wavelength, market segment and function. Detailed market forecasts are given based on these classifications and with complementary analysis by light source for LEDs, edge-emitting lasers and VCSELs. Please note that optical communication applications are not analyzed in this report.

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.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

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.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

18. Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) are built from
many different materials, on custom manufacturing
platforms. These include silicon (Si), indium
phosphide (InP), silica (SiO2), lithium niobate
(LiNbO3), silicon nitride (SiN), polymer or glass.
PICs aim to bring advantages of the semiconductor
world, in particular wafer scale manufacturing, to
photonics. The motivations for PICs are numerous,
including smaller photonic dies, higher data rates,
lower power consumption, lower cost per bit of
dataandbetterreliabilitycomparedtolegacyoptics.
PICs are progressively replacing vertical cavity
surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) for increasing
bandwidth and distance in datacom networks. PICs
are used for high data rate transceivers (100G and
above) in coherent or non coherent mode. In the
future, PICs will be needed when close integration
of electronics and photonics will be needed.
The largest volume demand for PICs is for data
center interconnects (or DCIs) in data and telecom
networks, with new applications coming such as
5G wireless technology, automotive or medical
sensors. InP is the most used but Si photonics is
growing faster. Hyperscale networking companies
like Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and
Microsoft (GAFAMs) are today the driving force for
the deployment of Si photonics technology. They
are currently setting up interconnected networks
with local data centers at the nodes of the mesh.
GAFAMs are ahead of the traditional telecom
players in investment, setting up their own long-
haul and subsea networks for DCI. Until recently,
they were relying on traditional telecom players for
long distance transmission. In 2018, Si photonics
has entered long-haul DCI with large hyperscale
companies now being agnostic regarding Si or InP
technology.
Si photonics, which is a category of PIC, is leveraging
semiconductor manufacturing infrastructure to
combine different photonic functionalities on a
same chip, although lasers still use InP. Si is today
expected to have the highest growth for optical
transceivers. In the future, Si photonics will
integrate other PIC materials, as Si uses mature
manufacturing platforms but will also use other
materials when performance is better. Options
include InP for lasing, germanium (Ge) for photo
detection, LiNbO3 for modulation and glass for
interconnect.
In recent years, strong R&D effort has been put into
the embedded optics approach to have photonic
dies as close as possible to the electronics on the
board in the server. Today, development of co-
packaged Application-Specific Integrated Circuits
(ASICs) and optics for switches anticipates future
data center architectures and reduces power
consumption. Switch ASIC companies will capture
a lot of value and are likely to be involved in more
mergers and acquisitions in the future.

19. SILICON PHOTONICS AND PHOTONIC INTEGRATED CIRCUITS 2019
BEYOND THE TIPPING POINT, BUT NOT YET FULLY MATURE!
Despite the current excitement about this
technology, we believe that Si photonics is not yet
fully mature. We have reached the tipping point
thanks to a convergence of early adopters mastering
this technology and requests from GAFAMs, but
there are still very few suppliers, as mentioned
above.
However, a lot of new startups are being created and
more foundries are involved from the IC and MEMS
industries. One reason for large IC foundries such
as TSMC to develop Si photonics approach could be
linked to a future co-packaged switch approach. The
data center architecture is evolving from pluggable
to more co-packaged optics, with Microsoft and
Facebook working on this topic, and ‘Top of the
Rack’ switches could disappear. This means that
switches could be co-packaged with the optics at the
server level. In this case, volumes will be boosted as
the number of switches is very high, in the range of
millions of units, providing a potential opportunity
for foundries. For smaller MEMS foundries like Silex,
apm and VTT, having Si photonics processes is a way
to fill their fab, as some processes are very similar,
like Cisco/Luxtera’s MEMS capping. Last but not
least, there is always a big RD effort worldwide
with many industrial contracts in North America,
Europe and Japan. So this market is on its way to
industrial maturity and very large volumes.

The total market for PIC-based transceivers using Si
photonics and InP will grow from around $4B in 2018
to around $19B in 2024, from around 30M units to
around 160M units. Si photonics will have the highest
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 44.5%. It
will grow from around $0.45B in 2018, equating to
1.3M units, to around $4B in 2024, equating to 23.5M
units. DCI from metro to long haul/subsea is the
largest market, with coherent telecom and sensors
being a minute part. 5G is coming and could involve
large volumes in the future as well.
Beyond DCI, other applications are looming. For
example, the following companies plan to use their
PIC platform for LiDAR applications: Intel, Rockley
Photonics, SiLC, Blackmore, and probably many
more. However, the prospects of market success are
still uncertain for LiDARs as they could be displaced
by a combination of other approaches like radar and
imagers and the success of autonomous vehicles
is still uncertain because of technical challenges,
regulations and strategic changes from car makers.
The market volume for robotic cars is in the range of
thousands of units, not millions. So volumes are less
than for data centers.
The Si photonic market only involves a few players:
Luxtera/Cisco, Intel, Acacia and InPhi. Founded in
2001, Luxtera, now part of Cisco, is the historical
pioneer, with almost 2M Quad Small Form-Factor
Pluggable (QSFP) transceivers shipped since starting
volume production in 2009. Intel introduced a silicon
photonics QSFP transceiver that supports 100G
communications in 2016. The company now ships
a million units of the product per year into data
centers. Intel’s 400G products are expected to enter
volume production in the second half of 2019. Acacia
announced the shipment of more than 100,000
400ZR modules in total for coherent optics by 2022.
