FiconTEC, a subsidiary of Robotech, is partnering with NVIDIA to develop the next generation of CPO and optical interconnect technology BlockBeats News: On June 16th, according to official announcements, FiconTEC, an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of Robotech (with a 100% stake in the group), announced today that its cooperation with Nvidia continues to make progress. The two sides are working together to develop large-scale manufacturing and testing solutions for next-generation co packaged optical (CPO) and AI driven optical interconnect infrastructure. This collaboration combines Nvidia's leading advantages in AI infrastructure and CPO architecture, as well as FiconTEC's 25 year technological accumulation in high-precision photonic device alignment, automated assembly, and optical testing systems. Both parties are jointly promoting the development of advanced manufacturing and testing methods to accelerate the industrialization of next-generation silicon photonics devices and optical engines in ultra large scale AI data centers. FiconTEC stated that this collaboration highlights the importance of an advanced photonics manufacturing ecosystem. The large-scale deployment of future AI infrastructure will increasingly rely on advanced manufacturing systems that can support high-yield production, process consistency, yield optimization, and the large-scale implementation of optical interconnect technology.
