MEMS to Photonics: Our Incredible Tech Journey Revealed
A discussion about how a company's tech journey began in the MEMS community and progressively evolved through advanced packaging, power semiconductors, and eventually to silicon photonics co-package optics. The speakers reflect on how they followed similar developmental paths in their respective businesses.
Summary
This brief conversation reveals the evolutionary path of a technology company that started in the MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) and sensors space. One speaker explains how their business initially gained attention through the MEMS community, which became the foundation for their subsequent technological developments. The company's journey followed a logical progression from MEMS and sensors into advanced packaging technologies. This advancement in packaging capabilities then enabled them to expand into power semiconductors, which ultimately led them to their current focus on silicon photonics and co-package optics. The conversation suggests this technological evolution was driven by the natural synergies between these different domains, with each advancement building upon the capabilities developed in the previous area. Both speakers acknowledge they followed remarkably similar paths in their respective businesses, suggesting this progression may represent a common trajectory for companies in the semiconductor and photonics industries.
