NTT-led Japan consortium selected for optical chiplet manufacturing project
NTT, NTT Innovative Devices, Japan Semiconductor, Furukawa Electric and Shinko Electric were selected for a research project to develop optical-chiplet manufacturing technologies for AI computing. The project sits within NEDO’s advanced semiconductor manufacturing programme.
Event / data period: 2026-10-20
Published: · Updated:
The companies will develop production, testing and packaging processes for optical chiplets and establish and evaluate a pilot production line. NTT will advise the project.
The announcement sets a goal of more than tenfold manufacturing productivity compared with current research-stage processes. That is a project target, not a reported commercial output or measured yield gain.
