Avicena partners with TSMC to make its microLED links

TSMC, the leading semiconductor foundry, will make the photo-detectors used for Avicena Tech’s microLED optical interconnect technology.

Christoph Pfistner

Avicena is developing an optical interface that uses hundreds of parallel fibre links - each link comprising a tiny LED tranmitter and a silicon photo-detector receiver - to deliver terabit-per-second (Tbps) data transfers.

Avicena is targeting its microLED-based interconnect, dubbed LightBundle, for artifical intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) applications.

The deal is a notable step for Avicena, aligning its technology with TSMC’s CMOS manufacturing prowess. The partnership will enable Avicena to transition its technology from in-house prototyping to high-volume production.
