STMicroelectronics expects to have first silicon photonics products by mid-2014. The chip company announced the licensing of silicon photonics technology from Luxtera in March 2012. Since then STMicro has been developing its 300mm (12-inch) CMOS wafer manufacturing line for silicon photonics at its fab at Crolles, France.

"We think we are the only ones doing the processing in a 12-inch line," says Flavio Benetti, general manager of mixed processes division at STMicroelectronics.
