STMicroelectronics Bets Big on AI: Aiming to Quadruple Production by 2027
STMicroelectronics announces the large-scale production launch of its silicon photonic platform, PIC100, aimed at optical interconnections for data centers and artificial intelligence infrastructures. The Swiss group anticipates a significant increase in its production capacity by 2027.
STMicroelectronics is taking a major step by moving to large-scale production of its PIC100 platform, based on silicon photonic technology. The PIC100 800G and 1.6T transceivers offer high bandwidth, reduced latency, and improved energy efficiency. This ramp-up is supported by long-term capacity reservation commitments from hyperscalers. The group is planning and implementing a capacity increase that will allow production to be quadrupled by 2027.

In addition to the current production, STMicroelectronics plans to introduce the PIC100 TSV platform, the next step in its silicon photonics roadmap. This new platform incorporates TSV (through-silicon via) technology to increase optical connectivity density, module integration, and thermal efficiency. It is designed to support future generations of NPO (Near Packaged Optics) and CPO (Co-Packaged Optics), aligned with the long-term migration of hyperscalers towards more advanced opto-electronic integration. STMicroelectronics will provide updates on its roadmap at the Optical Fiber Communication (OFC) 2026 conference, which will be held from March 15 to 19 in Los Angeles.
« Le chiffre d'affaires du quatrième trimestre a dépassé le milieu de notre prévision et la marge brute a été soutenue par un meilleur mix produit. »
