GlobalFoundries expands SiGe chip output for Marvell's optical networking push

GlobalFoundries and Marvell Technology have extended their manufacturing partnership, with GlobalFoundries boosting silicon germanium (SiGe) production capacity at its Burlington, Vermont facility. The multi-year deal targets components used in pluggable optical transceivers, near-packaged optics, and co-packaged optics, technologies that data centers need to move data faster than copper wiring allows.

Review outlines advances in single-crystal nanomembrane photonic integration

A compiled reference list surveys recent research on heterogeneously integrating single-crystalline nanomembranes onto photonic and electronic platforms, covering methods like remote epitaxy, van der Waals layer transfer, and atomic lift-off. The cited works span parametric amplifiers, expanded photonic spectra, oxide membrane integration, and applications from infrared detectors to micro-LEDs.
