Enabling Foundry Ready BaTiO₃ Photonics: Advances and 300 mm Wafer Manufacturing
Barium titanate (BaTiO₃, BTO) is rapidly transitioning into an industrially viable platform for high performance electro optic modulators, driven by its strong Pockels response and seamless integration with established photonic manufacturing workflows. DCA Instruments is enabling this shift by delivering fully foundry compatible 12″ (300 mm) BTO production platforms designed for high uptime, process stability, and volume scalability. This talk outlines recent advances in producing uniform, high quality BTO films across 300 mm wafers using solid state MBE, hybrid MBE, and UHV sputtering. Key emphasis is placed on process reliability, wafer level uniformity, and integration readiness essential for commercial photonic and quantum photonic device manufacturing.
