About

Teramount offers a novel solution, the patented Universal Photonic Coupler (formerly Photonic-Plug), for connecting optics to silicon. Their technology enables standard semiconductor manufacturing processes and packaging flow in silicon photonics, allowing fabless semiconductor companies to expand into silicon photonics using traditional foundries and OSATs. Teramount's solution addresses the fiber connectivity bottleneck in optical connectivity, enabling high-volume packaging through standard CMOS assembly lines, improving throughput, and lowering costs. Their TeraVERSE solution is a detachable, serviceable connector that links optical fibers to silicon photonics chips in Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) systems.
