The CEA-Leti institute in France (a MicroLED Industry Association member) announced a strategic collaboration with Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC) and the smart digital system specialist institute, CEA-List, to introduce high-bandwidth communication and high-efficiency computing technologies into PSMC’s established 3D stacking and interposer platforms.
The three partners aim to deliver solutions for next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) systems, by integrating short-reach, high-bandwidth optical links for energy-efficient data movement and customizable RISC-V processor architectures.
For this collaboration, CEA-Leti will provide its microLED-based optical-communication expertise. In November 2025, the institute launched a three-year multilateral program to develop ultra-fast data transfer based on microLED, with an aim to accelerate AI datacenters.
