GlobalFoundries announced on September 29, 2025, a collaborative effort with Corning Incorporated to develop detachable fiber connector solutions for GF’s silicon photonics platform. This partnership aims to meet the growing demands of AI datacenters for high bandwidth and power-efficient optical connectivity.
The collaboration leverages Corning’s GlassBridge™ solution, a glass-waveguide based edge-coupler compatible with GF’s platform’s v-grooves. Other coupling mechanisms, including a vertically-coupled detachable fiber-to-PIC solution, are also under development.
This initiative combines Corning’s expertise in glass, optical fiber, and connectivity technologies with GlobalFoundries’ high-volume manufacturing capabilities and leadership in silicon photonics. Demonstrations of the GlassBridge™ solution are planned for upcoming industry exhibitions.
