The JePPIX Pilot Line is looking to support and co-finance development projects with innovative partners who are ready to transition from the first proof-of-concept circuit to production. This support is specific to indium phosphide (InP) photonic integrated circuit technologies. Use cases in new and emerging markets are particularly encouraged.
Each development project has a maximum ticket price of €80k worth of technical services delivered directly by software, design, foundry and/or testing services of the JePPIX Pilot Line. Any ward would have a maximum of 50% of the total development cost. Such projects will be showcased as examples of the capabilities of both the developer and the Pilot Line.
Applicants selected for the financial support program receive:
- Access to industrial prototyping and pre-commercial manufacturing services of InP Photonic Integrated Circuits technology;
- Benefit from pilot line marketing and dissemination activities featuring the applicant activities and results;
- Customized support can include services to mature the circuit design, access pre-commercial fabrication of dedicated wafers, and the automated testing for circuits.
- A maximum of €80k worth of technical services delivered directly by software, design, foundry and/or testing services of the JePPIX Pilot Line.
- There is no direct support for packaging services, but your Account Manager may be able to orientate you with a parallel PhotonHub support program.
