SCINTIL Photonics is a fabless company that develops and markets silicon photonic integrated circuits. SCINTIL solutions combine the best of Silicon (Si) and Indium Phosphide (InP) materials using wafer-scale bonding of III-V SC materials on Si and rely on commercial silicon foundry processes to build high-speed fully integrated photonic circuits (comprising multi-wavelength lasers, waveguides, wavelength filters, and photodetectors).
SCINTIL’s technology draws upon over 15 years of research in InP/Si lasers, silicon photonics, and 3D packaging carried out at CEA-Leti. Its unique technological solution increases energy efficiency, enables an extensive integration of active and passive optical components, while significantly reducing implementation costs. Besides optical communications, SCINTIL technology promises great advantages in Lidar applications.
