Packaged Silicon Photonics Transceiver Market Set to Expand
LYON, France, Nov. 17, 2016 — The packaged silicon photonics transceiver market is expected to reach $6 billion by 2026, according to a new report from Yole Développement. “Silicon photonics has reached the tipping point that precedes massive growth,” said Dr. Eric Mounier at Yole. The field combines optics, CMOS technology and advanced packaging, benefitting from semiconductor wafer manufacturing scalability to reduce costs. In 2020, the researchers expect silicon photonic chips to exceed
