imec USA

#ITFPhotonicsUSA2025 showcased how imec is bridging the gap between cutting-edge photonic technology & scalable production! ✨   Our leading experts, Philippe Absil & Yoojin Ban, presented the latest version of imec’s R&D roadmap for integrated photonics and its unique manufacturing offering. A huge thanks to our keynotes Loi Nguyen, PhD, SVP at Marvell Technology and Maurice Steinman, SVP at Lightelligence, for providing their expert insights.   We got insights on the critical role of industrializing photonic heterogeneous integration on the panel "𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁-𝗚𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀"! Special thanks to Philippe Absil, Stefan Heinemann, Jeorge Hurtarte, PhD, MBA, Twan Korthorst, Joni Mellin for your contributions and to Abdul Rahim for moderating.    The event concluded with a networking reception, offering an opportunity to connect with industry experts, academia, business leaders, and researchers from the global tech scene.   #ITFPhotonicsUSA2025 #photonics #innovation #collaboration

imec & Purdue University are shaping the future of semiconductors! At our joint workshop, before #SEMIEXPO Indianapolis, on advanced semiconductor technologies and system scaling, we explored advanced chip technologies that are pushing beyond scaling limits while keeping sustainability in focus. A huge thanks to our supporting partners: ARi, Indiana Economic Development Corporation, SEMI, IEEE. Collaboration between industry & academia is key to innovation—let’s build the future together! 💡   #Semiconductors

Press release - Imec pioneers photonic code-division multiplexing #FMCW 144GHz distributed radar In a world-first, imec built and tested a proof-of-concept photonics-enabled code-division multiplexing (#CDM) frequency-modulated continuous wave (#FMCW) 144GHz distributed radar system that ensures coherent chirps to remote radar units. This proof-of-concept demonstrates successful range measurements, paving the way for multi-node radar systems with superior angular resolution. The innovation could revolutionize next-gen driver assistance and high-precision sensing applications. Read the full PR: https://lnkd.in/dW-6FQi7
