AIM Photonics
Named in Dream Photonics' own timeline as a process design kit development collaboration launched in 2022.

Vancouver silicon-photonics company spun out of UBC, supplying photonic IP, process design kits and photonic wire-bonding packaging for chip-to-fibre and laser integration, including quantum light sources.

Canadian innovation builds a brighter tomorrow.
Dream Photonics states that it is “working to tackle the biggest challenges of the semiconductor era, leveraging our expertise and resources in the world of photonics and electronics.” Its own milestones record that it “Enabled the first open-access MPW tape-out with hybrid integrated lasers in collaboration with Applied Nanotools and CMC Microsystems”, and that it “enabled a fiber attach solution for AMF silicon photonics platform using photonic wirebonds”. Its Process Design Kit “enables a wide-range of custom applications” and includes “a selection of Dream Photonics leading-edge silicon-verified devices and application examples for O-band and C-band”.
