Their soon-to-be-build foundry in Enschede will establish New Origin as an independent pure-play foundry, manufacturing chips that push the boundaries of what is possible and revolutionising the industry by producing cutting-edge silicon nitride photonic chips.

New Origin’s state-of-the-art wafer manufacturing process for silicon nitride photonic chips is rooted in more than 30 years of experience in developing and optimizing integrated photonics with nitride-based waveguides. The development from early Silicon-Oxide-Nitride (SiON) chips to today’s most advanced SiN Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) has resulted in a vibrant academic, research, and commercial eco-system in Twente (The Netherlands), with strong and close relations with other Dutch and European regions. New Origin targets undisputed quality, industry leading short turn around times, at the right cost for a global customer base.
