Tower Semiconductor and Marvell Ship Over Five Million Coherent Photonic ICs
Tower’s superior silicon photonics platform permits high-bandwidth,
energy-efficient knowledge middle connectivity
MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel, June 18, 2026 – Tower Semiconductor (NASDAQ/TASE: TSEM), the main foundry for high-value analog semiconductor options, at this time introduced a big milestone. The corporate, in partnership with Marvell Expertise, has shipped over 5 million coherent photonic built-in circuits (PICs) to Marvell international prospects, delivering superior, high-performance photonics options to deal with the rising bandwidth and effectivity calls for of AI-driven knowledge middle interconnect (DCI) networks.
Coherent PICs are advanced as a result of they need to management the part and polarization of sunshine, not simply the amplitude. The design and course of necessities for these PICs are way more stringent in comparison with less complicated direct-detect chips.
“As optical transceiver purposes and necessities proceed to evolve, photonics platforms should evolve to fulfill these necessities. That is very true within the space of coherent optical transceivers,” mentioned Dr. Ed Preisler, Vice President and Common Supervisor of the RF Enterprise Unit at Tower Semiconductor. “We’re proud to collaborate with Marvell to remain on the forefront on this area.”
Tower has collaborated with Marvell to advance next-generation coherent applied sciences, together with course of capabilities, similar to the mixing of non-silicon supplies, the 3D integration of electronics and the enablement of superior optical packaging similar to V-Grooves, which serve to increase the efficiency and performance of silicon photonics platforms.
“This milestone demonstrates the power of our collaboration,” mentioned Dr. Radha Nagarajan, Senior Vice President and Chief Expertise Officer, Optical Engineering, at Marvell. “As one among our key ecosystem companions, we stay up for proceed working with the Tower staff to advance next-generation coherent applied sciences for scale-across knowledge middle architectures, offering prospects with the most recent environment friendly, high-performance photonics applied sciences to energy their superior AI workloads.”
