Project description
 

Continued pressure on data centers is driving a need for higher capacity, lower cost transceivers. This project will break through the 100Gbaud barrier through the design of traveling wave equalizers. A new assembly technique called “micro transfer printing” will allow an order of magnitude reduction of the production costs w.r.t. the state-of-the-art.
