GlobalFoundries Wins $300M US Grant for AI Chip Photonics
The U.S. Commerce Department is giving GlobalFoundries up to $300 million to build optical links for AI chips, part of an $874 million CHIPS push across seven firms.
Read more →Silicon photonics is a chip technology that moves data using light instead of electrical signals, delivering higher bandwidth and lower power use than traditional copper interconnects. As AI clusters scale to link thousands of GPUs, silicon photonics has become central to next-generation data center networking and chip-to-chip communication. This hub covers the companies and research pushing optical interconnects into AI infrastructure.
