Beyond the PDK. Bespoke Physics.

Standard Process Design Kits (PDKs) cover 90% of applications, but innovation often lives in the other 10%. When your physics demands more than a standard library, the TFLX technology platform offers the flexibility to go beyond. 

TFLX technology is more than just a manufacturing step; it is a comprehensive material and process ecosystem. By combining our proprietary manufacturing methods like Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) etching with advanced stack engineering, we can adapt the entire photonic environment to your specific requirements—unlocking device architectures that standard foundries simply cannot support. 

Custom Capabilities

We open the full TFLX process window to help you realize unique device architectures.

1.

Broad Wavelength Optimization

Broad Wavelength Optimization While our standard PDKs are optimized for O and C bands, the TFLX platform is inherently broadband. We can tune the waveguide geometry and cladding deposition to unlock new spectral ranges:

  • Visible Spectrum (400 nm – 700 nm): Optimized waveguides and components for atomic physics, quantum memories, laser sources, and AR/VR applications. 
  • Mid-Infrared (2 µm – 5 µm): Leveraging the high transparency of Lithium Niobate/Tantalate for gas sensing, spectroscopy, and dual-comb sources.

Custom Layer Stacks

If the standard LN-CORE (400nm) or LT-PRO (300nm) film thicknesses do not fit your mode confinement needs, we can modify the starting material stack. 

  • Variable Film Thickness: From ultra-thin layers for evanescent field sensing to thick films (>600nm) for dispersion engineering. 
  • Cladding Engineering: Custom oxide deposition, air-cladding or cladding window opening for optical sensing or hybrid integration.

Integration Readiness

We don’t just build chips; we build with the system architecture in mind. We can tailor the TFLX process flow to prepare your wafers for hybrid integration, PCB assembly, electrical and optical packaging(advanced wirebonds, fiber pigtail and chip-to-chip attach, photonic wirebonds, …)

Why Customize with Luxtelligence?

Direct Acess

No “black box” foundry rules. You talk directly to the experts defining the process. 

Physics-First

We understand that in quantum and ultrafast optics, every nanometer of geometry matters. 

Path to Scale

Even custom processes are designed with industrial viability in mind. Once your custom design is frozen, we can lock it in for volume production within the TFLX framework.
