Indigenously Developed Silicon Photonics Technology Solutions Launched

Silicon Photonics Process Design Kit and Universal Programmable Photonic ICs Test Engine developed at IIT Madras

A major milestone in Silicon Photonics technology sovereignty for India; will serve as a shared national facility for the Indian photonics R&D community

Posted On: 24 APR 2026 4:39PM by PIB Delhi

Shri S. Krishnan, Secretary, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India, launched two Silicon Photonics technology solutions: (a) Silicon Photonics Process Design Kit (PDK) for photonics chip manufacturing, and (b) Universal packaged PPIC (Programmable Photonic Integrated Circuit) Test Engine indigenously developed at MeitY sponsored CoE-CPPICS, IIT Madras.

Indigenously developed Silicon Photonics Process Design Kit (PDK) has over 50 verified components. This library provides essential design enablement in India for industries, startups, academic institutions, and defence R&D organisations to develop advanced Photonic ICs.

The Silicon Photonics CoE-CPPICS follows a Product Research, Development and Manufacturing (PRDM) model leveraging CMOS-compatible silicon photonics technology, with SilTerra Malaysia as foundry partner and izmo Microsystems, Bengaluru, as photonic IC packaging partner.
