VLC Photonics specialises in designing Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) tailored to your technical specifications and requirements. As a fabless and independent design house, our expertise is in all the key material platforms such as Silicon photonics (SOI, SiN, SiO2/PLC), III-V materials (InP, GaAs, etc.), and cutting edge platforms like Thin film Lithium Niobate (TFLN), BTO, polymers, AlO2 or Graphene. Our proficiency extends to various design software frameworks and toolboxes with industry leading EDA solutions. Our expertise include: i) Broad Photonic Material Expertise: Proficiency in III-V semiconductors and Silicon Photonics, enabling versatile design options. ii) Proprietary Modules and Libraries: We utilise our proprietary modules and libraries of functional building blocks, ensuring optimal performance for your application, and minimising risks. iii) Industry Standards: Adherence to industry-standard design practices for manufacturability, testability, and packaging. iv) Confidentiality and IP Security: Your intellectual property is treated with the utmost confidentiality and security, always ensuring freedom to operate. Our Offers are, a) Custom Design Service: We offer modelling, simulation, and design and layout of proprietary photonic components and circuits, extending beyond standard libraries provided by foundries. b) Layout Service: Expert layout services for complex photonic integrated circuits. Foundry design rule checking (DRC), Layout vs. schematic (LVS) and Testing and packaging design rules are taken into account for final layout. c) Design Support: Engineering support for your in-house design team, covering design, layout, DRC tasks, overall review, and advice on design for manufacturing, testing, and packaging, always in a secure IP environment.
