The proliferation of cloud computing and artificial intelligence is driving significant performance improvements in data center processing. Unfortunately, the connections between these servers, and even the connections between the boards in these servers, is limiting performance and driving up power dissipation. Silicon photonics promises a solution to these problems. Compared to standard integrated circuit technology, silicon photonics technology requires fundamentally different thinking about fabrication, packaging, testing, reliability and failure analysis. This course delves into the fabrication, packaging, testing, reliability and analysis of these circuits. This course is a must-attend for those working on silicon photonics, using silicon photonics in your systems, or considering the use of silicon photonics.
