Optical Chiplet/Co-Packaged Optics
(under development)

Introduction

In the modern society of digitalization, the amount of information data processing is increasing, and reducing power consumption at data centers has become challenges. Today, various research and development have been ongoing to implement optical technology to suite large capacity, low latency, and low power consumption. As one of the solutions, optoelectronic convergence technology (which combines electrical circuit and optical circuits) is attracting attention.

For the realization of optoelectronic convergence, SHINKO is developing optical assembly and optical wiring technologies in addition to our core technologies of semiconductor packaging substrates and IC assembly.
