Taiwan Nano & Micro-Photonics Co., Ltd. (N&M) is honored to be the world's first company to pioneer advanced mid-to-long-wave infrared silicon photonics light emission chips and detection chips based on CMOS processes, leveraging the long-term government investment in the field of silicon photonics.
In the past, the development of mid-to-long-wave infrared light technology has primarily relied on compound semiconductors. However, compound semiconductors face cost challenges in terms of both epitaxy and manufacturing processes.
Taiwan Nano & Micro-Photonics Co., Ltd. leverages a unique silicon-based design and operates within the comprehensive semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem in Taiwan. By utilizing existing CMOS processes and employing photonic integration technology, we have pioneered the sensing applications of silicon photonics, specifically in the creation of "silicon-based mid-to-long-wave infrared light emission chips and detection chips."
