DNP to Open First Overseas R&D Center in the Netherlands
Will promote Co-Packaged Optics R&D
As an initial project, DNP will promote R&D into Co-Packaged Optics, which integrates optical communication technology with electronic technology to achieve a high information processing performance. Co-Packaged Optics is attracting attention as a next-generation semiconductor technology.
In July 2025, DNP signed an agreement with the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) on joint R&D into Co-Packaged Optics. These activities will be promoted in conjunction with the Photonic Integration Technology Centre (PITC), a research organization located on campus that connects basic research to the mass production of photonic chips (optical IC chips).
R&D Contents and Goals
· Co-Packaged Optics technology exhibits a high information processing performance, low power consumption, and energy savings, and is expected to be deployed in next-generation semiconductors.
· In order to accelerate the development of package components for Co-Packaged Optics, DNP will conduct three years of joint research with PITC, and other HTCE-based organizations. The goal is to acquire cutting-edge technologies, such as precision patterning technology for optical materials related to Co-Packaged Optics, as well as to develop new partnerships.
Looking Ahead
Through the new R&D base in the Netherlands, DNP will gain access to technologies and Co-Packaged Optics-related R&D networks, further accelerating the development of package components for Co-Packaged Optics.
