LIGENTEC
LIGENTEC is a B2B company manufacturing Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC) for customers in high-tech areas such as communication on ground and space, Quantum technologies, LiDAR and Biosensors. The core expertise of the company is in the domain of SiN integrated circuits, where it offers MPW, dedicated and engineering runs using its proprietary All Nitride Core (AN) technology. LIGENTEC’s technology platform is fully CMOS compatible, thus allows to offer ramping up to high volumes benefiting from the scale of the semiconductor industry.
Role of institution in the project
Ligentec is primarily involved in SiN Platform for membrane device (WP4). The main tasks are 4.1 Process development for membranes in SiN, where Ligentec will develop a process for membranes in SiN via chip backside etching.
Task 4.2 Single device membrane components, where different sensor configurations based on ring resonators and material stacks will be investigated using simulations and experiments.
Task 4.3 Development of integration of multiple membrane components, where different approaches to IPUT based transducer arrays and interfaces with readout will be explored.
Task 4.4 Detailed design and fabrication of SiN PIC devices for IPUT demonstrator.
