Fusion42 · 30 July 2026 · Fusion42 review

Major semiconductor foundries like TSMC, UMC, and GlobalFoundries are rapidly expanding their silicon photonics manufacturing capacity. This race is driven by demand from AI computing for higher data transmission bandwidth, as traditional copper interconnects are hitting physical limits.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Interconnects are AI's new bottleneck, and the big foundries are now racing to build the solution in silicon. If your hardware startup has a unique way of connecting chips, that advantage now has a shelf life.
