Replacing copper in semiconductor packaging with microLED optical links increases data rates and speed while resolving the issues of heat generation encountered by more traditional designs. Singapore’s NSC (New Silicon Corporation) exhibited its latest project at Asia Photonics Expo 2026. Using silicon nitride waveguides and micro LEDs to connect, for example a GPU and high bandwidth memory results in 32Tbps/mm ...
The importance of Singapore as a technology hub was reinforced today at the opening of the Asia Photonics Expo (APE) 2026. This year’s APE (4-6 February) is at Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Singapore. The three-day conference and exhibition will host more than 350 exhibitors, from 17 countries and regions and expects to welcome 6,000 guests from 50 countries. “The ...
The photonics expo features the latest technologies and emerging applications across the entire photonics value chain—optical communication, optics, semiconductors, quantum, lasers, sensing, displays, and infrared. For industry professionals, In 2026, APE will debut a dedicated Semiconductor Pavilion, showcasing the entire semiconductor value chain—from materials, equipment, manufacturing, chips and chip design to advanced packaging.
