iNEMI and MIT Conduct Survey on Optical Adhesives for High-Volume Photonics

Estimated reading time: Less than a minute

The International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative (iNEMI), in conjunction with MIT's FUTUR-IC initiative, is conducting a survey to understand the status of stakeholders, materials, applications, standards and test methods for high-volume deployment of optical adhesives for optoelectronics applications, particularly for silicon photonics and co-packaged optics.

Rapid adoption of applications such as artificial intelligence, high-performance computing and autonomous systems requires efficient, economical, and sustainable hardware solutions. This need is driving rapid developments in photonics and co-packaged optics. Advancements in materials, assembly processes, and test methods for optical adhesives are essential to achieve high-volume manufacturing, lower costs, and environmentally friendly solutions.

The Adhesives Characterization for Optical Packaging (ACOP) Project, a collaborative effort between INEMI and FUTUR-IC, aims to accelerate the development and adoption of economically and environmentally sustainable optical adhesive materials.
