光子封装正经历半导体产业近代史上前所未有的结构性变革。曾经仅限于光收发器生产后端、以客製化生产为主的专业化活动,如今已转变为一项战略性产业重点。它处于人工智慧基础设施、先进半导体封装、下一代显示技术和量子运算硬体的交汇点。这种演变并非渐进式的,而是从根本上重新定义了光子封装的本质、价值以及价值链中哪些参与者将从中受益。

在光子封装商业发展的大部分时间里,它都源自于资料中心和通讯网路的光收发器。为满足此市场需求而形成的供应链集中化、高效化,并专注于提高吞吐量和降低成本。 Fabrinet、Jabil 和 Luxshare 等公司主导着模组组装,台积电 (TSMC) 和 GlobalFoundries 等代工厂供应光子积体电路,而 Coherent 和 Lumentum 等雷射製造商则提供 III-V 族光源。 因此,一个成熟且优化良好的生态系统得以形成,完美契合可插拔收发器製造的需求。然而,如今这种架构正面临各个层面的颠覆。

这项变革的主要驱动力是生成式人工智慧的爆炸性成长。大型科技公司所需的大规模语言模型训练和运行,需要数十万甚至数百万个加速器组成的计算集群,这些加速器必须在紧密耦合的平行环境中运行。这些丛集所需的总频宽极为庞大,而传统的可插拔光收发器架构无法在可接受的功耗预算内满足此需求。随着讯号速度的提升,连接交换器ASIC和前面板收发器外壳的电气路径(包括PCB布线、连接器和SerDes电路)在系统总功耗中所占比例越来越大,如今已达到不可接受的程度。共封装光元件(CPO)透过将电气路径从厘米级缩短到毫米级,并将光引擎直接放置在与交换器和计算晶片相同的封装基板上,解决了这个问题。因此,每位元功耗显着降低,可实现的频宽密度也随之提高。这种转变并非仅仅是未来的目标。预计首批商用CPO交换器将于2026年投入使用,GPU级光互连也将很快问世。

第二个主要成长点是扩增实境(AR)。 MicroLED显示技术的商业化,将氮化镓发光阵列与微米级像素间距以及CMOS背板整合相结合,正在创造一个全新的、独特的光子封装市场。要实现消费级AR眼镜主流化所需的亮度、解析度和能源效率,就需要以前所未有的精度和良率将数百万个独立的MicroLED晶片大规模转移到CMOS背板上。这与数据通讯的封装挑战截然不同,数据通讯的挑战并非体现在网路频宽上,而是体现在显示器的物理特性和消费性电子产品的外形尺寸上,但同样需要先进的光子整合技术。

除了这两大主要成长引擎之外,光子封装技术正在向汽车感测用FMCW雷射雷达、量子运算硬体平台、医疗成像和国防感测等领域扩展。

本报告基于对80多位行业利益相关者的第一手访谈,对全球光子封装市场进行了深入分析,包括市场规模估算、驱动因素和限制因素、技术格局和竞争格局。

第十一章 参考文献

Photonics packaging has entered a period of structural transformation with few parallels in the recent history of the semiconductor industry. What was once a specialised, largely bespoke activity confined to the manufacturing back end of optical transceiver production has become a strategic industrial priority - one that sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence infrastructure, advanced semiconductor packaging, next-generation display technology, and quantum computing hardware. This evolution is not incremental. It represents a fundamental redefinition of what photonics packaging is, what it is worth, and who in the supply chain captures that value.

For most of its commercial history, photonics packaging was anchored in optical transceivers for datacentre and telecommunications networks. The supply chain that emerged to serve this market was concentrated, efficient, and oriented around throughput and cost reduction. Companies such as Fabrinet, Jabil, and Luxshare dominated module assembly; foundries like TSMC and GlobalFoundries supplied the photonic integrated circuits; laser houses such as Coherent and Lumentum provided the III-V light sources. The result was a mature, well-optimised ecosystem well-suited to the requirements of pluggable transceiver manufacturing - but one whose architecture is now being disrupted at every level simultaneously.

The primary disruptive force is the explosive growth of generative artificial intelligence. Training and running large language models at the scale demanded by leading technology companies requires computing clusters of tens to hundreds of thousands of accelerators operating in tightly coupled parallel. The aggregate bandwidth these clusters require is extraordinary, and it cannot be delivered by conventional pluggable optical transceiver architectures within acceptable power budgets. The electrical path between a switch ASIC and a front-panel transceiver cage - involving PCB traces, connectors, and SerDes circuitry - consumes a growing and increasingly untenable fraction of total system power as signal speeds increase. Co-Packaged Optics solves this by collapsing that electrical path from centimetres to millimetres, placing the optical engine directly on the same package substrate as the switch or compute chip. The result is a dramatic reduction in power per bit and a corresponding increase in achievable bandwidth density. This transition is not a future aspiration - first commercial CPO switch deployments occurred in 2026, and GPU-level optical interconnects are following closely behind.

The second major growth vector is augmented reality. The commercialisation of MicroLED display technology - combining gallium nitride light-emitting arrays at microscale pixel pitches with CMOS backplane integration - is creating a new and entirely distinct photonics packaging market. Achieving the brightness, resolution, and power efficiency required for mainstream consumer AR glasses demands mass transfer of millions of individual MicroLED dies onto CMOS backplanes at unprecedented precision and yield. This is a packaging challenge of a different character from datacom - characterised by display physics and consumer electronics form factors rather than network bandwidth - but one that requires equally demanding photonic integration expertise.

Beyond these two dominant growth engines, photonics packaging is expanding across FMCW LiDAR for automotive sensing, quantum computing hardware platforms, medical imaging, and defence sensing. Each application brings its own demanding packaging requirements: coherent detection stability across automotive temperature ranges for LiDAR; sub-0.01 dB coupling loss per interface for quantum photonics; radiation-hardened hermetic packages for aerospace. Together, these applications are converting photonics packaging from a single-segment market into a diversified, multi-application industry with structural growth characteristics.

Underpinning all of these trends is a technological transition of comparable importance to the shift from through-hole to surface-mount assembly in conventional electronics: the move from module-level assembly toward wafer-level heterogeneous integration. Foundries, advanced OSATs, and photonics design companies are converging on platforms - 2.5D silicon and glass interposers, fan-out wafer-level packaging, hybrid bonding - that enable photonic and electronic chiplets to be co-integrated at the wafer scale using lithographically defined alignment rather than active mechanical servo control. This transition raises the packaging content value per unit, compresses alignment tolerances, and moves the locus of competitive advantage upstream from module assembly houses toward foundries and design-driven packaging platforms.

Standardisation is the critical variable that will determine how quickly these transitions reach production scale. Process Design Kits, Assembly Design Kits, CPO fibre interface standards, and common electrical interface specifications between switch ASICs and optical engines are all in active development - but none is yet mature. The pace at which industry consortia including the Optical Internetworking Forum, the Co-Packaged Optics Alliance, and SEMI can establish and promote these standards will materially influence the trajectory of the market across the forecast decade.

The Global Photonics Packaging Market 2026-2036 is the first dedicated market research report to define, quantify, and forecast photonics packaging as a standalone global market across a ten-year horizon. The report is based on primary interviews with over 80 industry stakeholders - including foundries, advanced OSATs, PIC designers, module assemblers, equipment vendors, hyperscalers, and quantum hardware developers - combined with a bottom-up modelling approach that builds market size estimates from unit volumes, packaging content values, and technology mix assumptions at the individual application and product level.

The report defines photonics packaging as the complete set of materials, processes, equipment, and intellectual property involved in assembling photonic integrated circuits and optical components into functional modules and systems. This encompasses module-level assembly, hybrid and heterogeneous integration of photonic and electronic dies, wafer-level packaging, fiber-to-chip coupling, and precision alignment processes. It explicitly excludes the intrinsic fabrication cost of photonic or electronic chips themselves, focusing on the packaging value added across the supply chain.

Six application segments are covered in full: optical transceivers for datacom and telecom; co-packaged optics for AI datacentre switches and GPU interconnects; augmented reality display engines; automotive FMCW LiDAR; quantum computing and quantum networking; and other applications including medical imaging, defence, and industrial sensing. Each segment receives dedicated technology analysis, supply chain mapping, competitive landscape assessment, and a quantitative ten-year forecast with annual granularity from 2026 to 2036.

The technology coverage spans the complete spectrum of photonics packaging approaches currently in production or development - from conventional wire bond and flip-chip module assembly through fan-out wafer-level packaging, 2.5D silicon and glass interposer integration, 3D micro-bump stacking, Cu-Cu hybrid bonding, and ultimately monolithic photonic-electronic integration. The report provides comparative benchmarks of all major platforms, traces the evolution of fiber-to-chip coupling from V-groove arrays to photonic wire bonding and detachable CPO connectors, and maps the progression of EIC/PIC integration from 2D through to SoIC hybrid bonding. Technology roadmaps are provided for the full forecast period.

Co-Packaged Optics receives a dedicated chapter of particular depth, covering the definition and architecture of optical engines, a detailed comparison with pluggable optics, the AI datacentre network hierarchy and switch ASIC bandwidth scaling trajectory, the divergent CPO ecosystem strategies of NVIDIA and Broadcom, the three CPO packaging structure types, and a comprehensive suite of quantitative forecasts covering GPU optical I/O units and revenue, CPO network switch units and revenue, total CPO market overview, technology mix by integration architecture, and a generation-by-generation scale-out network system roadmap through 2036.

The ecosystem and supply chain analysis maps ten value chain segments from raw wafer to end-customer system deployment, with revenue and margin profiles for each. Regional analysis covers Taiwan, North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. The competitive landscape chapter addresses market share by player and segment, M&A and partnership activity from 2023 to 2026, vertical integration trends, and a strategic outlook through 2036. The report includes 71 data tables, 35 figures, and detailed profiles of 69 companies across the full photonics packaging value chain.
