What We Do
Semiconductor Innovation
Through the use of a specially prepared single crystal epitaxial oxide layer formed directly on silicon, La Luce Cristallina can potentially integrate most functional oxides on silicon and even other semiconductor platforms. In combination with the ability to deposit high crystallinity oxides at a fast rate without sacrificing quality, we can make optical-grade barium titanate on silicon or on SiO2/Si at thicknesses needed for photonics applications.
Our Product
Wafers/Substrates
Our flagship product is optically active crystal-on-glass (COG) BaTiO3 integrated on silicon. Materials produced by LC come in the form of wafers/substrates. These are produced as thin disks that are 200 mm in diameter and are less than 1 mm thick. These substrates can then be patterned into devices and cut into chips to make photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for Si photonics. We offer unique and competitive solutions for miniaturizing photonic chips, greatly improving their performance, and reducing their energy usage.
