These novel standardised services cover design, fabless fabrication and foundry brokerage, with fixed prices independently of the chip functionality, as a photonics equivalent to electronic generic manufacturing, where costs are fixed by chip area and usage of standard design blocks.

 

This greatly simplifies the prototyping access for photonic integration, requiring only a basic technology knowledge to navigate through their online quoting tool. http://www.vlcphotonics.com/mpw/
