About CORNERSTONE

CORNERSTONE is an EPSRC funded project dedicated to establishing Silicon Photonics fabrication capability that can support photonics research in the UK. It aims to offer up to 6 passive calls and 2 active calls per year via a multi-project-wafer service and is free-to-access for UK academia until September 2019.

With a track record of world-leading results, and supported by some of the world’s best academic fabrication facilities for microfabrication and high-spec. nanofabrication, CORNERSTONE offers a flexibility that may not be accessible at conventional foundries. Through the use of lithography techniques such as advanced projection lithography and direct write e-beam lithography (by request), CORNERSTONE offers both an industry compatible fabrication capability, and a design flexibility essential for research and prototyping purposes.

CORNERSTONE offers regular access to multi-project-wafer batches for both active and passive silicon photonics devices and bespoke fabrication runs to suit the individual needs of customers.
