Company Secures Patent Application for Novel
Fabrication Process to Advance High-Volume Foundry Potential;
Enables Stable, High Yielding Poling of Polymer Devices with
Silicon Photonics Circuits
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., June 21,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave Logic, Inc.
(NASDAQ: LWLG), a technology platform company leveraging its
proprietary electro-optic polymers to transmit data at higher
speeds with less power, today announced the publication of a
U.S. patent application on a new invention that will enhance
polymer modulator manufacturing in high-volume foundries when
integrated with silicon photonics.
This patent application – entitled "Hybrid electro-optic polymer
modulator with silicon photonics" under publication number
2022/0187637A1 – details a novel fabrication process that
allows Lightwave Logic's proprietary polymers to be fabricated by
silicon foundries in a high-volume manufacturing environment.
The published patent application also details a more efficient
process that allows for high yielding, high stability poling of
polymers in a high-volume foundry manufacturing environment.
The development of the PDK for this new optical hybrid optical
modulator design is now in progress with Lightwave Logic's foundry
partners.
Dr. Michael Lebby, Chief
Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic, commented: "This patent
application is incredibly powerful in that it better enables our
polymers to be fabricated in high-volumes by our silicon foundry
partners, all using their existing equipment. While we already have
reliable and stable fabrication processes such as poling, we also
need to be comfortable that we can scale these processes for
high-volume manufacturing. I see this published patent application
as another critical step towards the maturity of polymer
technologies both as a photonics integrated platform as well as a
volume-scale technology.
"This patent allows our polymer technology platform to become
the engine for pluggable fiber optic transceivers that are being
utilized throughout today's internet infrastructure. Enabling
foundries to also establish a high-yielding, highly stable
fabrication process that includes poling is critical to positively
change the internet and enable faster data transfer – thus
improving the lives of countless millions who rely on the internet
for work and leisure," concluded Lebby.
