SiCPIC Silicon carbide photonic integrated circuit training network

Coordinator: DANMARKS TEKNISKE UNIVERSITET (DK)

Photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology is an enabling technology, deemed to address the challenges (high power consumption and large RC delay caused by the line width reduction) faced by microelectronic integrated circuits (IC). The demand for the technology is at an all-time high, and it is expected to experience a steadily accelerating adoption across markets. However, the potential of PIC is not fully demonstrated in the existing material platforms yet. Silicon carbide (SiC), an emerging wide band-gap semiconductor, is promising to advance PIC technology and accelerate its wide marke…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

0 EU contribution: €4.3M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 4 years from 2026-01-01 to 2029-12-31.
