IZMO’s semiconductor division -- izmo Microsystems has entered into Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with CCRAFT SA, a Swiss thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic chip foundry, and Alcyon Photonics SL, a Madrid-based leader in integrated photonics IP design. The tri-party collaboration establishes a framework for jointly designing, producing, and commercialising advanced photonic integrated circuit (PIC) solutions for the datacom, telecom, aerospace, and sensor markets.

The partnership unites three specialised entities across the photonics value chain. CCRAFT, spun out of CSEM (the Swiss Centre for Electronics and Microtechnology), operates an ISO-certified 150 mm wafer foundry and is among a select few companies globally manufacturing TFLN photonic chips at scale--enabling electro-optic modulators exceeding 400 Gbit/s. Alcyon Photonics delivers validated, fabrication-ready photonic IP designs with proven architecture libraries, accelerating the path from prototype to volume production.

Under the MoU, the three companies will collaborate on delivering Alcyon’s photonic IP libraries to customers, joint design and production of photonic systems, and commercialisation of jointly developed solutions. izmomicro has been designated as a preferred packaging partner and will provide design guidelines to optimise photonic integrated circuits for advanced packaging from the outset.

IZMO is the world leader in interactive marketing solutions. The company offers hi-tech automotive e-retailing solutions in North America, Europe, and Asia.
