New Origin BV Information

New Origin has the ambition to create Netherland’s first independent photonic chips foundry that produces silicon nitride chips. New Origin’s foundry will enable companies to produce their own photonic chips. This overcomes a significant hurdle for the photonics industry by substantially reducing costs, while also increasing the availability of photonic chips. Photonic chips use light instead of electronics to transmit information, which, when integrated into microchips, enables, among other things, the development of fibre communication between modules. It is also used in LiDAR, a photonics-based measurement technology widely used in the automotive industry, and in medical sensors. They have a range of applications such as within quantum computing data communications, autonomous vehicles and food production, medical equipment and aviation.
