Imec is a world-leading R&D and innovation hub in nano-electronics and digital technologies. With its 3500 researchers it performs industry-relevant research in nano-electronics and creates groundbreaking innovation in application domains such as healthcare, smart cities and mobility, logistics and manufacturing, and energy. In its 200mm CMOS pilot line imec has developed the state-of-the-art silicon photonics iSiPP50G platform, which is accessible both through MPW-service as well as through dedicated engineering runs. Imec has also developed a silicon nitride based photonic integration platform BioPIX, which will be MPW-accessible in the future. For all its silicon and silicon nitride photonics research work imec collaborates closely with its associated Photonics Research Group at Ghent University.
