Sivers Semiconductors AB has announced a strategic collaboration with WIN Semiconductors to scale high-volume manufacturing of its proprietary high-power distributed feedback (DFB) lasers and laser arrays.
The partnership strengthens Sivers’ ability to meet global demand for photonic components supporting coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) and dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) applications.
WIN Semiconductors will serve as an outsourced manufacturing partner, leveraging its advanced compound semiconductor fabrication capabilities to support Sivers’ growth. The partnership combines WIN’s expertise in large-scale, high-quality semiconductor production with Sivers Semiconductors’ leadership in high-performance laser technology.
“This partnership is a crucial step in our strategy to scale our manufacturing capabilities and ensure our customers receive high-quality, high-performance photonic solutions with greater efficiency and reliability,” said Vickram Vathulya, CEO of Sivers Semiconductors. “By partnering with WIN Semiconductors, we are enhancing our production capabilities and accelerating time-to-market for our customers, supporting applications such as next-generation optical interconnects, silicon photonics, and optical I/O for co-packaged optics (CPO).”
The collaboration will also help address the growing demand for laser chips in AI data centers and next-generation optical networks. WIN Semiconductors brings decades of compound semiconductor manufacturing expertise, including state-of-the-art fabrication processes and facilities optimized for high-volume delivery.
By integrating WIN Semiconductors’ manufacturing capabilities with Sivers Semiconductors’ advanced technology, the partnership aims to drive innovation and strengthen the supply chain for CWDM and DWDM applications.
“We’re excited to work alongside the Sivers team to bring their advanced DFB lasers and arrays to high-volume production,” said William Chang, GM of WIN Semiconductors. “This collaboration combines our manufacturing expertise with Sivers’ innovation to drive next-level performance in CWDM and DWDM applications.”
The alliance supports Sivers’ continued expansion into optical communication markets and reinforces its role as a photonics leader delivering customized solutions for demanding environments.
