UMC Teams Up With HyperLight, Jabil to Boost TFLN Photonics for Hyperscale AI

United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) has partnered with HyperLight and Jabil to accelerate the development of TFLN photonics for hyperscale AI. The collaboration combines HyperLight's photonic technology, UMC and Wavetek's foundry manufacturing capabilities, and Jabil's high-volume production and assembly expertise to enable next-generation optical modules at data-center scale. This partnership aims to speed up the implementation of thin-film lithium niobate photonics for hyperscale AI data center interconnects.
