Veeco and imec develop 300mm process for barium titanate in silicon photonics

Veeco Instruments and the Belgian research center imec have jointly developed a 300mm-compatible, mass-production-ready process that enables the integration of barium titanate (BaTiO₃, BTO) into silicon photonics platforms. The goal is to create higher-performance and more energy-efficient optical components for applications such as high-speed data communication, quantum computing, LiDAR, and AR/VR
