Izmo’s special division, Izmomicro, has announced that it has developed a high-density silicon photonics packaging platform, marking India’s foray into developing next-generation semiconductor technologies. The Bengaluru-based company said the innovation will play a key role in powering artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing and future telecom networks.
Izmomicro overcoming challenges in precision packaging
The company has developed a high-density silicon photonics packaging platform that supports 32-channel fibre input and output with an industry-leading insertion loss of less than 2 dB. Achieving this density is considered one of the biggest challenges in the field as it requires nanometer-level optical alignment, advanced assembly processes, and smooth integration of electronics.
In its regulatory filling, the company said that the module also integrates 32 DC input/outputs, 4 RF input/outputs and delivers high-speed RF performance up to 70 GHz, setting a new benchmark for photonic and electronic system integration.
Silicon photonics is replacing copper interconnects for high-speed data
Silicon photonics is emerging as the core technology for multi-terabit optical communication, especially as traditional copper interconnects reach their physical limits. By overcoming packaging challenges, izmomicro said it has addressed a key bottleneck in the industry and is enabling scalability and efficiency for hyperscale data centres, AI clusters and next-generation 5G and 6G networks.
First in India to achieve this capability
Dinanath Soni, Executive Director of izmomicro said, “Only a handful of companies worldwide have demonstrated this capability, and we are proud to be the first in India. This breakthrough validates our years of R&D in precision packaging and positions us as a critical partner for the global silicon photonics industry. As AI and data-driven applications demand ever-higher performance, our innovation will help power the infrastructure of the future.”
Global silicon photonics market set for rapid growth
The global silicon photonics market, valued at $2.65 billion in 2025, is projected to grow to more than $ billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate of over 25 per cent. Much of this growth will be driven by demand for faster and more energy-efficient data transmission in cloud platforms, AI systems and telecom networks.
Izmomicro said its latest innovation positions it strongly to capture opportunities from this growth, while also supporting India’s semiconductor ambitions under the Make in India initiative.
