Stakes
-
PIXEurope is a new ambitious Pilot Line initiative that has been launched by the European Commission, through the Chips Joint Undertaking,
to accelerate the development of photonic chip technology—an essential component in the future of high-speed computing, communications, and quantum information systems, among others. The pilot line aims to work on the
design and
establish an optimized prototyping chain (that includes
design, fabrication, integration, testing and reliability) in search of demonstrating
accelerating product development and scalable manufacturability.
OBJECTIVES
During 10 years and with a budget of ~400M€, 20 partnering entities from 11 European countries (Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom) will have the ultimate goal of creating a unique European PIC ecosystem, with open access services to the end-user, establishing itself as the first fully integrated PIC pilot line in the world.
