The EPIC Meeting on CMOS compatible integrated photonics at imec will bring together CMOS/Silicon/Electronics/MEMs foundries and manufacturers and providers of new materials with photonic functionality (Graphene, III-V, plasmonic structures, BTO, etc.) to address the needs to start new collaborations. The incorporation of new materials with photonic functionality into CMOS processing has been traditionally challenging. However recently, there has been a major interest in bringing the developments in photonics to mass production, and for that, working closer to semiconductor companies is a necessary step.
