Abstract
ePIXfab brings silicon photonics within reach of European
small and medium sized enterprises, thereby building on
its track record and its integration into Europractice.
To this end, ePIXfab offers affordable access to
standardized active and passive silicon photonic IC and
packaging technology, a path from design to manufacturing
and hands-on training. Based on a consortium of major
research institutes with silicon photonics expertise,
ePIXfab reaches out to European industry and supports
them to evaluate silicon photonics in the context of
concrete applications and markets. In order to ensure
low-cost, quick access and scalability to manufacturing,
the maturity of silicon photonic IC technology is
enhanced by setting up a library of generic devices, a
level of process and device benchmarking and a well
maintained design flow. For the first time, devices in a
standard package are offered to facilitate measurements.
Training programs on the IC and packaging services are
also offered, including hands-on training in making
designs. Maturity, standardization and sustainability are
driven by a steadily growing worldwide user base
