Applied Materials (NASDAQ:AMAT) announced on Tuesday that it will partner with GlobalFoundries (NASDAQ:GFS) to build a state-of-the-art waveguide fabrication facility at GlobalFoundries’ Singapore site, to accelerate the photonics revolution driven by artificial intelligence.
The collaboration represents a milestone in positioning photonics as a cornerstone for next-generation AI applications, such as augmented reality (AR) and human-centered digital experiences.

Applied Materials will design and develop advanced waveguide components, while GlobalFoundries will serve as its high-volume manufacturing partner in Singapore.

The collaboration builds on the emerging photonics ecosystem in Singapore, encompassing materials, sensors, integration, assembly, test, and applications.

Dr. Paul Meissner, Vice President and General Manager of Applied Materials’ Photonics Platforms Business, and GlobalFoundries’ Yew Kong Tan, Senior Vice President and General Manager for APAC Manufacturing, emphasized that the collaboration merges Applied Materials’ leadership in materials science with GlobalFoundries’ manufacturing scale to accelerate the adoption of next-generation devices.
 

From the Islamic Golden Age to the Age of Photonics: celebrating the contributions of light to society​

13 September 2015
Last update:20 April 2023
One thousand years ago, in Basra (modern-day Iraq), Ibn al-Haytham opened new horizons in scientific methodology and broke new ground by studying the behaviour and properties of light. This field of research has since led to the development of technologies that shape our modern societies. Today, UNESCO Director General Irina Bokova opened an international conference that aims to explore the decisive contributions of Ibn Al-Haytham and Islamic culture to the emergence of the sciences and to opening new vistas for human creativity. Entitled “Islamic Golden Age of Science for actual knowledge-based society: The Ibn Al-Haytham example”, the 2-day conference is part of the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies 2015.
