Teradyne has launched the Photon 100, a fully integrated opto electronic automated test platform designed specifically to speed up high volume manufacturing of silicon photonics (SiPh) and co packaged optics (CPO).
As demand for high speed, energy efficient optical interconnects grows, driven by AI and next generation data centers, manufacturers are struggling to scale SiPh and CPO to volume production.
The Photon 100 addresses this challenge by combining industry leading optical and electrical instrumentation with Teradyne’s proven UltraFLEXplus platform.
The result is a high throughput, automated test solution that covers all key stages of production wafer, optical engine, and co packaged module insertions helping customers simplify operations, shorten time to market, and scale production faster.
Key features and benefits
• Integrated optical and electrical instrumentation – Delivers advanced optical and electrical test capabilities in a single system.
• Built for high volume manufacturing – Designed to handle the demanding requirements of high volume SiPh and CPO production environments.
• End to end test coverage – Supports wafer (single and double sided), optical engine, and CPO test insertions in one platform.
• Customizable optical instrumentation – Comes with a standard configuration, but optical instrumentation can be tailored to specific needs.
• Simplified operations – Designed, built, and maintained entirely by Teradyne, eliminating the complexity of multi vendor integration and support.
• Open ecosystem – Lets customers choose their preferred partners for high volume manufacturing, including wafer level and die level probe options.
With the Photon 100, Teradyne strengthens its position as a leader in high volume SiPh and CPO test, offering an integrated, scalable, and automated solution for today’s most advanced manufacturing challenges.
By combining cutting edge optical and electrical instrumentation with the proven UltraFLEXplus platform, the Photon 100 helps customers accelerate innovation, reduce operational complexity, and ramp up production to meet the growing demands of AI and next generation data centers.
The launch underscores Teradyne’s commitment to shaping the future of silicon photonics and co packaged optics manufacturing with industry leading test solutions.
