Mbryonics offers EIC beneficiaries access to PakPIC, our comprehensive in-house photonics packaging services and facilities. PakPIC’s expert engineers will help you to design Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) that are purpose-built for production and packaging at scale. With your supplied PICs, we will design and fabricate mechanical housing, mount and connect each chip with suitable materials for your application, and couple them to I/O fiber arrays with sub-micron precision and ultra-high repeatability. We can further support your supply-chain development, providing access to specialist electronic, opto-electronic, and interposer fabricators, PCB manufacturers, and fiber array specialists. PakPIC has extensive expertise in producing systems suitable for vacuum through our core business in space communications, and our systems are entirely compatible with quantum photonic technologies. We are refining our service offering for PICs in cryogenic environments and aim to offer this on a commercial basis in 2025. Applications for PakPIC services are offered on a rolling basis, subject to capacity, and are suitable for all companies and researchers developing photonic systems from TRL 1-9, producing batches in units of 5-50; larger-scale production runs will become accessible in late 2025. A full range of services is available on request. PakPIC staff can advise on PIC design and/or provide detailed design rules as preferred, and services can be engaged at any point in the design-and-build process.
Reduced price: PakPIC services are offered to EIC Beneficiaries at below commercial rates and may benefit from substantial subsidies provided through national or international support. Final prices will depend upon complexity, volume, and the amount of design required, but as an indicative figure a total packaging service will cost around €6000 per device (before any subsidy).
The parties acknowledge that all packaging is provided strictly on a “best-effort” basis and intended for prototyping purposes only. By accepting these services, the client acknowledges that all PICs supplied for packaging are assumed to be fully functional upon receipt.

To the fullest extent allowable by applicable law, Mbryonics and PakPIC disclaim any liability arising from or related to the performance, malfunction, or failure of the packaged devices. This includes, but is not limited to, any loss of profits, business interruption, or loss of data. The client agrees that Mbryonics and/or PakPIC shall not be held responsible for any deficiencies in the packaged devices and assumes all risks associated with their use.
