Graphene photonics enable optical chip interconnects
Black Semiconductor develops graphene-based photonics that integrate optical components into the outer layers of CMOS-like chips, enabling direct optical chip-to-chip communication. It works by using graphene as a translator to convert electronic signals to optical signals and back, so electrons on silicon can talk to photons through integrated photonic interconnects. This approach differs from traditional silicon photonics or pure electronic interconnects by being CMOS-compatible, wafer-scale, and capable of linking multiple chips as a single high-performance unit while reducing production steps by about 60%. The company aims to move from pilot production to mass manufacturing, building a 300mm wafer facility (FabONE) in Aachen, with pilot production by 2027 and mass production by 2031, backed by a large European funding round and investors.
