CadenceCONNECT: Fostering a Photonics Ecosystem for Sustainable Adoption

Overview / Summary

For the past two decades, integrated photonics has made tremendous progress and is now offered by industry-leading semiconductor companies. However, outside of its most common use in data communications, adoption is still slow and uneven, especially with applications where photonics should have a clear advantage such as sensors and lidar, and with many well-funded startups. What will it take for photonics to become a “standard” technology in the toolbox of system designers?

Join Cadence for the sixth-annual CadenceCONNECT Photonics event on December 7-9 to find out what’s needed to foster the photonics ecosystem for sustainable adoption. Is it too hard to design? Too expensive? Not enough yield? What is missing?

Foundry, industry, and academic experts will answer these questions and share proposals for how to bridge leftover gaps for reaching sustainable adoption.

Agenda

The complete agenda will be available soon.

Day 1

• Ecosystem challenges discussion panel
• Foundry offerings (silicon photonics, silicon nitride, indium phosphide)

Day 2

• Addressing the gaps
• Live Q&A

Time and Date

This event will be hosted twice to support global partners, colleagues, and professionals.
