PASSAGE L200
First Edgeless I/O 3D Co-Packaged Optics
Passage™ L200 eliminates the shoreline bottleneck. By stacking the photonic engine with the electronic IC, we deliver 32-64 Tbps of optical I/O per chip—enabling bandwidth densities 5-10x greater than conventional solutions.

Breaking the Shoreline Constraint
The Challenge
Conventional chip I/O is confined to the die edges (“shoreline”). As die area scales (r²), perimeter scales only linearly (2πr), creating a bandwidth bottleneck. Chips exhaust edge space long before they exhaust compute capability.
The L200 Solution
Passage removes this constraint by vertically integrating the photonic IC (PIC) beneath the electronic IC (EIC). This allows SerDes and optical interfaces to be placed across the entire die surface, enabling bandwidth density that scales with silicon area rather than die perimeter.
