Dr. Li Jin
Li Jin, Ph.D., graduated from Zhejiang University in 2015 and then joined the CETC 38. At the end of 2018, he transferred to the CUMEC and has more than 10 years of research experience in the field of silicon photonics. His research directions include coherent lidar, spectral detection, sensor, etc. He has obtained more than 10 patents and published more than 10 papers. In 2020, he won the “Hongyan Talent Plan” of Chongqing, and in 2021, he won the title of Outstanding Youth of CETC.
The Research of Optical Phased Array based Silicon Photonics Technology
In recent years, with the rapid rise of unmanned driving and robotics, there is an urgent need for high-performance and low-cost spatial 3D sensing lidar. As a pure solid-state beam scanning scheme of lidar, optical phased array based on silicon photonics technology has been widely studied in the world. This report first introduces the latest important research progress at home and abroad; Then,the report introduces some progress in the field of CUMEC based on its own 8-inch characteristic process line since early 2019, including the functional verification of 1×128/256 one-dimensional optical phased array (OPA), the verification of optoelectronic microsystems in which OPA was integrated with tunable light sources, and the exploration of coherent ranging technology based on OPA chips. Finally, some thoughts on the challenges faced by OPA technology in the future are introduced.
United Microelectronics Center (CUMEC)
United Microelectronics Center (CUMEC) was a collaborative innovation platform of microelectronics technology strongly supported by Chongqing government, incorporated in October, 2018 .
CUMEC is designed to establish the ability of independent innovation of new generation microelectronics core technology, on a developing path more than Moore, to build high-end and featured photoelectronic technology platform combining designing products and technics, and to be a world-leading and nation-excellent innovative center.
CUMEC’s layout is concentrating on the frontier of world science and technology, concentrating on national strategy, concentrating on main battlefield of national economy, arranging four technical center, namely silicon photonics, intelligent sensing, three-dimensional integration and AI chip and system, focusing on certain areas like 5G, data center, AI, information network etc. to develop technologies and products. Establish a safe and reliable IP data base, building an IP-reuse-based networked compositive product collaborative design platform.

Michelle M. Bourke received a B.Sc. degree in Optoelectronics and Laser Engineering from Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland, U.K., in 1993. Subsequently she joined the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA), where she worked on advanced processing methods for GaAs/AlGaAs optoelectronic devices. In 1997 Michelle moved to the semiconductor capital equipment industry as an etch process engineer. In 1999 she moved into Product Marketing where she has continued to develop her career. Today Michelle is with Lam Research Corporation as the Senior Strategic Marketing Director in the Customer Support Business Group.
Dr. Mary Ann Maher received her Ph.D. from Caltech in 1989 in the area of semiconductor device modeling. At Tanner Research she began the simulation and modeling group and launched Tanner’s T-Spice analog circuit simulator product. As Director of Advanced Products, she brought to market Tanner’s MEMS Pro microsystem and MCM Pro multi-chip module and packaging design tool. Moving to MEMSCAP, she became the company’s CTO and the General Manager and Executive Vice President of the Design Automation Business Unit. In 2004, she started SoftMEMS, LLC, the maker of the popular microsystems design tools – MEMS Pro and MEMS Xplorer, where she serves as CEO.
