Silicon photonic modules utilize silicon photonics technology, utilizing CMOS processes to integrate optical components onto a single silicon chip, achieving a deep fusion of signals and electrical signals. More simply, while traditional semiconductors like CPUs, GPUs, and SoCs in computers and smartphones are silicon-based integrated circuits, silicon. They are inserted into the network device and terminate the fiber optic cabling that runs throughout the network's physical infrastructure. The silicon is usually patterned with sub-micrometre precision, into microphotonic components. Thereby it opens a route towards very advanced PICs with very high yield and low cost.
