ABOUT SCINTIL PHOTONICS

SCINTIL Photonics is a fabless company that develops silicon photonic integrated circuits. SCINTIL solutions combine the best of Silicon (Si) and Indium Phosphide (InP) materials using wafer-scale bonding of InP on Si and rely on commercial silicon foundry processes to build fully integrated photonic circuits (comprising multi-wavelength lasers, waveguides, wavelength filters, and photodetectors).

SCINTIL’s technology draws upon over 15 years of research in InP/Si lasers, silicon photonics and 3D packaging carried out at CEA-Leti. Its unique technological solution increases energy efficiency, enables an extensive integration of active and passive optical components, while significantly reducing implementation costs. Besides very high-speed optical communications, SCINTIL technology promises great advantages in Lidar applications.

Based in Grenoble, France, SCINTIL is currently taking its innovative heterogeneous silicon photonic IC technology to an industrial level as it gears up for mass production. It was recognized for its technology as the winner of the Bpifrance (Banque Public d'Investissement) - iLab 2018 contest.
