Cork (Ireland) – May 18, 2020 – Tyndall National Institute expands EUROPRACTICE portfolio by offering access to a new set of Silicon Nitride process and packaging services by LioniX International, a leading global provider of customized microsystem solutions.
EUROPRACTICE customers now have access to cutting-edge technologies by LioniX International, including their world famous TriPleXTM waveguide technology for Multi-Project-Wafer (MPW) runs, advanced packaging and electronic driver services.
TriPleXTM waveguide technology is a propriety Silicon-Nitride based technology that enables low cost and easy access to low loss photonic integrated circuits suitable for telecom / datacom in the infrared (1550nm) region, as well as life science applications in the visible range (400 to 700nm), and bio-sensing applications in the 850nm range. These services are now also offered through General EUROPRACTICE MPW runs with Tyndall National Institute functioning as a service center for the EUROPRACTICE customers interested in it.
Dr. Ramsey Selim, Photonics Programme Manager at Tyndall National Institute, and board member of EUROPRACTICE mentioned:
“For over 25 years EUROPRACTICE has provided academia and SMEs with affordable access to prototyping, advanced packaging and volume production services of renowned microelectronic and photonic foundries located worldwide.
