ficonTEC partners with NVIDIA on next-generation CPO and optical interconnect technology

Huo Xing Finance reports that on June 16, according to an official announcement, ficonTEC, an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of Robotic Technology (100% owned by the group), today announced continued progress in its collaboration with NVIDIA. The two companies are jointly developing scalable manufacturing and testing solutions for next-generation co-packaged optics (CPO) and AI-driven optical interconnect infrastructure. This partnership combines NVIDIA’s leadership in AI infrastructure and CPO architecture with ficonTEC’s 25 years of expertise in high-precision photonic device alignment, automated assembly, and optical test systems. Together, they are advancing the development of next-generation manufacturing and testing methodologies to accelerate the industrialization of silicon photonic devices and optical engines in hyperscale AI data centers. ficonTEC stated that this collaboration underscores the importance of an advanced photonic manufacturing ecosystem. The large-scale deployment of future AI infrastructure will increasingly depend on advanced manufacturing systems capable of enabling high-volume production, process consistency, yield optimization, and the scalable adoption of optical interconnect technologies.
