11:42 | ASE, TSMC team up for silicon photonics
ASE Technology and TSMC are joining forces to develop silicon photonics (SiPh). A ground-breaking technology in high performance computing, silicon photonics will allow for faster data transmission at remarkably low energy consumption. But as of today, the cost of manufacturing photonic integrated circuit (PIC) remains a major stumbling block in the production of SiPh. It remains to be seen if the collaboration between TSMC and ASE Technology changes that.
