Insights
This first foundry order marks a significant milestone for QCi's entry into the TFLN photonic chip manufacturing space. The two-phase fabrication contract with an Asian research institute demonstrates market validation for their proprietary etching and processing capabilities. While the order size isn't disclosed, the strategic timing aligns with their Tempe facility launch in Q1 2025.
The TFLN technology's applications in telecom, datacom and quantum computing position QCi well in high-growth markets. Their integrated approach offering both manufacturing and design services creates a compelling value proposition. The recent MOUs for PDK development further strengthen their ecosystem. However, investors should note that meaningful revenue impact will depend on securing additional commercial orders and successful facility commissioning.
The significance of this development extends beyond the immediate order. TFLN technology represents a critical advancement in quantum computing and photonic integration, offering superior performance in optical modulation and signal processing. QCi's ability to manufacture these chips at room temperature with low power requirements addresses key scalability challenges in quantum systems.
The company's strategic position as both a manufacturer and technology integrator could create valuable IP and competitive advantages. However, success will hinge on their ability to maintain technological leadership and scale production efficiently. The planned Q1 2025 foundry opening will be a important inflection point for demonstrating commercial viability.
The order will leverage QCi's proprietary capabilities in etching, processing, and wafer-scale characterization of TFLN. QCi's key technological advantage lies in its TFLN processing expertise, which is crucial for producing state-of-the-art optical devices and photonic engines that are in significant demand across various high-growth markets, in particular, the coherent communication, telecommunication, and data communication market segments.
In addition to its advanced manufacturing capabilities, QCi will offer in-house photonic chip design services as part of the order, which will include two separate fabrication runs tailored to meet the customer's needs. The first photonic chips for this order are expected to be delivered in December 2024, with the full order set to be completed by the end of Q1 2025.
"QCi is thrilled to announce this first order for the QCi Foundry, which reflects the increasing global interest in our advanced TFLN technology," stated Dr. Pouya Dianat, Director of PICs and Foundry Services at QCi. "By integrating TFLN into our own quantum technology, we are able to enhance the precision and performance of our systems, and QCi is proud to play a critical role in the future of integrated photonics. We anticipate additional orders in the coming months as the photonics community continues to embrace TFLN and prepares for the exciting opening of the QCi Foundry in
This announcement follows the recent signing of two memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with industry partners focused on the development of process design kits (PDKs) and design services. These strategic partnerships are paving the way for QCi as it nears the final commissioning of its QCi Foundry, which is set to officially open in Q1 2025.
