FIC Global Inc.<\/a> (TWSE: 3701; FICG), a leading expert in packaging and installing semiconductors on optical modules for 16 years, today announced a significant expansion of its optical transceiver business to meet the rapidly evolving demands of silicon photonics optical transceivers for next-generation data center networking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Empowering the 1.6T era<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

As AI-powered data centers scale in complexity and density, co-packaged optics (CPO) switches \u2014 highlighted recently at GTC 2025<\/a> \u2014 have emerged as a solution for ultra-fast intercommunication, reduced energy consumption, and minimal latency, with the new benchmark for data transmission speeds now 1.6 terabits (T) per second. Optical transceivers \u2014 key components that convert electrical signals into light data for transmission over fiber optic cables \u2014 are driving this transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur expansion reinforces FICG\u2019s role at the heart of the optical transceiver revolution,\u201d commented Mr. Leo Chien, Chairman of FICG. \u201cPowered by FICG\u2019s cutting-edge manufacturing technology, competitive yields, and comprehensive capabilities, we are innovating at the speed of light to enable 1.6T and 3.2T.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the expansion, the company will announce new manufacturing facilities later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
A legacy of expertise, innovation, and collaboration<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

FICG\u2019s leadership is built on a legacy of expertise in joint design manufacturing (JDM) for optical modules. Working closely with semiconductor makers upstream and optical transceiver customers downstream, the company leverages advanced techniques to package electronic and optical semiconductors and install them onto the core printed circuit boards (PCBs) of optical modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With experience in optical transceivers since 2008, these now represent over 50% of FICG\u2019s revenue, and the company continues to grow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Market leadership:<\/strong> In 2024, FICG achieved 17.5% market share in 800G and 1.6T optical transceivers and 20% market share in 400G optical transceivers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • A key ecosystem player:<\/strong> FICG supplies major players worldwide and collaborates closely with chip manufacturers in Taiwan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Significant growth:<\/strong> To meet major sales growth recently, the company has tripled optical module production capacity over the past two years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Future-forward innovation:<\/strong> FICG is actively innovating to prepare for transmission speeds to double from 1.6T to 3.2T.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n
    Standing out through process leadership<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

    As the backbone of silicon photonics, FICG maintains process leadership through advanced R&D capabilities, a unique combination of capabilities, and innovation in manufacturing technology. The company particularly stands out for its ability to integrate higher-tech manufacturing processes like 2.5D and 3D semiconductor packaging and bare-die flip chip installation with the more mainstream surface mount technology for the rest of a PCBA, enabling customers to consolidate and simplify their supply chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    FICG is also recognized by global customers for precision and yield quality:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Ultra-high first-pass yield rates:<\/strong> For exceptional reliability<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Ultra-fine component installation: <\/strong>Capable of installing component sizes such as 008004 (0.25×0.125 mm), 01005 (0.4×0.2 mm), and 0201 (0.6×0.3 mm) \u2014 almost as small as a hair\u2019s breadth<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Rigorous quality control<\/strong>: Leveraging 3D X-ray and soldering testing for uncompromising standards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      FICG\u2019s excellence has earned it recognition from one customer as its leading optical transceiver brand supplier for three consecutive years, along with achievements such as CMMI Level 3 Maturity Certification and ranking 23rd worldwide in the MMI Top 50\u2122 EMS Providers in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
