Guangzhou CanSemi Technology Inc in Guangdong province is actively expanding its silicon photonic chip production lines to meet the rapid digital economic growth demands in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Fueled by the explosive growth of artificial intelligence and the digital economy, massive data computing and storage have set extremely high requirements for data transmission speed and energy consumption, according to Wu Hao, assistant president of Guangzhou CanSemi Technology Inc.

To address the emerging market demand, CanSemi Technology is actively expanding production capacity for silicon photonics chips as part of the company's Phase IV project, Wu said.

"CanSemi Technology has started research and development of the project three years ago and now we are vigorously promoting and advancing its construction," he said.

Driven by the digital economy trend, CanSemi will also further upgrade its existing products to achieve digital transformation and develop advanced mixed-signal chip manufacturing capabilities, according to Wu.
