Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Optical Interconnect Market - Global Forecast to 2022" report to their offering.
According to the author's forecast, the optical interconnect market size, in terms of value, is expected to grow from USD 3.66 Billion in 2015 to USD 13.03 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 18.13% between 2016 and 2022. In the past few years, the data center architecture has put a significant load on the power consumption, which needs to be overcome.
The optical interconnects provide the data center operators with opportunity to lower the power loss caused due to the data center networks since optical transmission has much lower energy loss compared to the traditional copper-based interconnects. Also, in recent times, there has been a "data avalanche", caused by growing usage of video streaming, big data, and cloud computing, creating need for servers to store very high amount of data and also very high-speed data transmission within servers. The growing need for lower consumption, high-speed data transmission and efficient data storage is expected to increase the adoption of optical interconnects.
The market for the chip-level interconnects is also expected to gain momentum during the forecast period and is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. The growing popularity of parallel computing, combined with the need to have extremely fast and efficient chip-to-chip, chip-to-board, and on-chip interconnection due to the massive flood of data is pushing the need for higher adoption of chip-level interconnects.
North America is expected to hold the largest market share and dominate the optical interconnect market between 2016 and 2020, while the market in the APAC region is expected to grow at the highest rate. The growing population, rapid increase in the purchasing power parity (PPP), and rapid penetration of Internet and cloud computing are the reasons for the high growth rate in the world for this market.
However, cost issues in the implementation of optical interconnects act as a major deterrent for the growth of the optical interconnect market. Also, advanced technologies associated optical interconnection have not been commercialized as fast as expected, which may hinder the optical interconnect market growth.

The Chemical Connection: Reducing Etch System Water Usage, Part 2
05/02/2024 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionIn my last column, I reviewed some relatively simple ways to reduce water usage in existing etch systems: cutting down cooling coil water flow, adding chillers to replace plant water for cooling, lowering flow rate nozzles for rinses, etc. This month, I’ll continue with more ways to control water usage in your etcher. Most of these are not easily retrofittable to existing equipment but should be given serious consideration when new equipment is contemplated. With the right combination of add-ons, it is possible to bring the amount of water used in an etch system to almost zero.
Designer’s Notebook: What Designers Need to Know About Manufacturing, Part 2
04/24/2024 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookThe printed circuit board (PCB) is the primary base element for providing the interconnect platform for mounting and electrically joining electronic components. When assessing PCB design complexity, first consider the component area and board area ratio. If the surface area for the component interface is restricted, it may justify adopting multilayer or multilayer sequential buildup (SBU) PCB fabrication to enable a more efficient sub-surface circuit interconnect.

Heavy Copper PCBs: Bridging the Gap Between Design and Fabrication, Part 1
04/01/2024 | Yash Sutariya, Saturn Electronics ServicesThey call me Sparky. This is due to my talent for getting shocked by a variety of voltages and because I cannot seem to keep my hands out of power control cabinets. While I do not have the time to throw the knife switch to the off position, that doesn’t stop me from sticking screwdrivers into the fuse boxes. In all honesty, I’m lucky to be alive. Fortunately, I also have a talent for building high-voltage heavy copper circuit boards. Since this is where I spend most of my time, I can guide you through some potential design for manufacturability (DFM) hazards you may encounter with heavy copper design.
