矽光技術的現況與展望：台灣的契機與選擇

隨著 IC 摩爾定律走到了尾聲，矽光子技術儼然成為目前業界矚目的研究方向，而受到青睞的原因在於可結合半導體產業現有 CMOS 製程。矽光子學 (Silicon Photonics)的目標是發展出可操縱光訊號、奈米等級的積體化晶片，能夠像現在我們在晶片上操縱電一般的操控光。矽光元件預期具有頻寬大、損耗低的特性，能夠提供很高的調變速率，因此傳輸量相當大，足以應付高速運算的需求。而晶片內傳遞光訊號的波導對光的侷限，使得元件的面積能夠大幅縮小，有利於積體化整合，而且提供了操控光訊號的新方法。本論文的研究問題是「若台灣要導入矽光技術並發展成有競爭力的完整矽光產業，最適合由哪類型的業者（半導體上游設計、中游製造、下游系統整合封裝銷售、光電廠商、 ICT 電子廠商、政府及財團法人、系統應用廠商）會更有效率的主導產業的發展」，主要以 Proactive Technology Selection Model（ PTSM)的框架，探討矽光產業的發展前瞻，為題做相關研究！

並列摘要

With the end of IC Moore's Law, silicon photonics technology has become the current research direction of the industry's attention, and the reason is favored because it can be combined with the existing CMOS process in the semiconductor industry. Silicon Photonics (Silicon Photonics) goal is to develop a controllable optical signal, nano-scale integrated chip, can control the light as we now operate on the chip in general. Silicon optical components are expected to have the characteristics of large bandwidth and low loss, and can provide a very high modulation rate, so the transmission volume is quite large, enough to meet the needs of high-speed computing. The limitation of the waveguide for transmitting optical signals in the chip makes the area of the device greatly reduced, which is conducive to integrated integration, and provides a new method for controlling optical signals. The research question of this thesis is "If Taiwan wants to introduce silicon photonics technology and develop into a competitive and complete silicon photonics industry, what type of business is most suitable (semiconductor upstream design, midstream manufacturing, downstream system integration packaging sales, optoelectronic manufacturers, ICT electronics manufacturers, governments, corporations, and system application manufacturers) will lead the development of more efficient industries," focusing on the Proactive Technology Selection Model (PTSM) framework, discussing the prospects for the development of the silicon optical industry, and doing relevant research on the topic!
