TSMC Ramps PIC Capacity to 25K Wafers, CPO Silicon Photonics Poised to Disrupt AI Interconnects
TSMC plans to expand its PIC capacity to 25,000 wafers per month by 2028, with its COUPE platform becoming critical for reducing latency and power in AI systems. Initial capacity is allocated to NVIDIA, Broadcom, and AMD, marking CPO's transition from lab to mass production and accelerating the shift from electrical to optical AI interconnects.
