  • 2020:

     

    First IP customer

    First tapeout to build the Dream Photonics Process Design Kit for AIM Photonics.

  • 2021:

    First packaging customer

    Engaged with customers and partners to enable hybrid integration solutions using photonic wirebonds. Dream Photonics enabled a fiber attach solution for AMF silicon photonics platform using photonic wirebonds which is currently available as a public offering.

     

    2021:

  • 2022:

     

    AIM PDK Released

    Official launch of the Dream Photonics AIM PDK.

    The Dream Photonics Process Design Kit (PDK) enables a wide-range of custom applications by providing various leading-edge (O-band and C-band components) with layout-views, extensive documentation, and advanced circuit simulation model based on experimental data (for various EDA toolsets). PDK includes a selection of Dream Photonics leading-edge silicon-verified devices and application examples for O-band and C-band (for both, TE and TM polarizations).

  • Enabled hybrid laser integration Multi-Project-Wafer run

    Enabled the first open-access MPW tape-out with hybrid integrated lasers in collaboration with Applied Nanotools and CMC Microsystems. 

     

  • 2023:

     

    Establishment and growth

    Expanded portfolio of PIC hybrid integration solutions through photonic wirebonding. Expanded the IP Cores offering and PDK maturity by collaborating with additional foundry partners and customers.

  • Received IRAP Support

    Dream Photonics received support from the National Research Council Industrial Research Assistance Program. Dream Photonics was one of 11 Canadian firms funded to collaborate on projects with U.K. partners. The firms were selected following a joint Canada–UK R&D call for proposals by the NRC and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).

     

  •  

    Commercialization Award

    Dream Photonics Senior Scientist Matthew Mitchell wins Commercialization Award from MITACS for his work addressing the critical packaging challenges facing the emerging photonics industry using photonic wire bonds.

  • 2024:

    20th Customer

    Dream Photonics continues to grow and signs 20th customer.

     

    2024:

Dream Photonics Inc. is a technology spin-off from UBC, co-founded by Prof. Lukas Chrostowski and Prof. Sudip Shekhar, combining decades of academic and industry experience in silicon photonics and CMOS electronics. 

Dream Photonics is actively engaged in process design kit development for silicon photonics foundries across the globe. Simulation, design, and test data for silicon photonics components are provided by Dream Photonics to the foundry such that customers can use these components in their designs with confidence. Dream photonics has access to the first tool in the world capable of performing photonic wire bonding as a service. This service offers fiber-to-chip, chip-to-chip, and on-chip laser and fiber integration with silicon photonics via photonic wire bonds. Dream Photonics is also working with several end customers on their system IP needs.

In short, Dream Photonics wants to realize a world with billions of silicon photonic devices and is eager to work with you to make that happen.
