Tower Semiconductor Ships Over 5 Million Photonic Integrated Circuits with Marvell
Tower Semiconductor (TSEM) announced a significant milestone. The company, in partnership with Marvell Technology (MRVL), has shipped over five million coherent photonic integrated circuits to Marvell global customers, delivering advanced, high-performance photonics solutions to address the growing bandwidth and efficiency demands of AI-driven data center interconnect networks. Coherent PICs are complex because they must control the phase and polarization of light, not just the amplitude. The design and process requirements for these PICs are far more stringent compared to simpler direct-detect chips.
