Data centers are grappling with surging data volumes and energy use driven by AI and large language models like ChatGPT. Lightium's TFLN platform tackles these challenges by boosting communication bandwidth and slashing power needs. With speeds surpassing 1.6 Tb/s and lower energy consumption, it's set to redefine industry norms.
InnoSuisse has granted Lightium CHF 2.67 million to fast-track its Thin-Film Lithium Niobate (TFLN) platform's commercialization. This is pivotal for Europe's leadership in photonic tech, benefiting telecom and data centers amid rising data demands. Beta access to Lightium's foundry services is set for Q4 2024.
Lightium plans to transition its manufacturing to a commercial CMOS fab using the InnoSuisse funds, securing Europe's independence in next-gen photonic devices. Over the next nine months, it will fine-tune its manufacturing process and PDK specifications, paving the way for beta access to its TFLN platform by late 2024. This milestone underscores Lightium's dedication to cutting-edge photonic solutions.
Lightium won the first stage of Venture Kick in April. "We will use the Venture Kick funds to attend relevant tradeshows, improve our online visibility, and strengthen our IP portfolio," commented Frédéric Loizeau Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer of Lightium.
