Topic: Will MPW services for integrated photonics grow or decline in the next 10 years?

ePIXfab and JePPIX jointly organised an online panel discussion ahead of the 2020 edition of ECIO on the topic: Will MPW services for integrated photonics grow or decline in the next 10 years? The following questions were put to the panelists:

  1. Is a photonic MPW service more than just an entry-point for researchers?
  2. What does it take for photonic MPW to go the same route as electronic MPW?
  3. Can photonic MPW combine a low-barrier entry with a route to process differentiation?
