During a 3-day training course you will get practical experience in designing, fabricating and measuring an integrated silicon photonics circuit through tutorials and hands-on sessions given by experts from Ghent University's Photonics Research Group.
Tailored for both industrial and academic participants, ePIXfab Silicon Photonics schools cover the fundamentals to the latest developments in the science and technology of Silicon PIC design, fabrication, assembly and testing for ever-growing applications of Silicon Photonics.
ePIXfab in collaboration with the ELENA, PATTERN, PHORMIC and photonixFAB projects organized a two half-day workshop on heterogeneous integration on April 23-24 2024.
The course focuses on the process to translate a photonic circuit idea into a working chip, going from schematic design and circuit simulation to layout, routing, and interactive design rule checking.
As part of the course, the participants get the opportunity to actually tape out a design that will be fabricated with an e-beam prototyping service and characterized. Based on these results, the design can be improved and submitted to a wafer-scale multi-project-wafer run of which the participants will receive the final chips.
