Izmo shares hit upper circuit, jump 20% as firm's division Izmomicro develops next-gen semiconductor tech

Izmo’s special division, Izmomicro, announced on Thursday, August 21, that it has developed a high-density silicon photonics packaging platform, marking India’s entry into advanced, next-generation semiconductor technologies. 

In early trade on Friday, Izmo shares hit the upper circuit, soaring 20% to trade at ₹587.55 apiece on the NSE.

“izmomicro, a specialized division of izmo Ltd., today announced a major milestone in silicon photonics packaging, underscoring its role as a pioneer in India’s semiconductor ecosystem and advancing the country’s position in the global race toward next-generation data and AI infrastructure,” Izmo said in a release. 

The Bengaluru-based company has developed a high-density silicon photonics packaging platform that supports 32-channel fibre input and output with an industry-leading insertion loss of less than 2 dB, the company said, adding that achieving this level of density is a huge challenge in this field. 

“Achieving this level of density is one of the greatest challenges in the field, demanding nanometer-scale optical alignment, advanced assembly processes, and seamless integration of electronics. The module also incorporates 32 DC I/Os, 4 RF I/Os, and high-speed RF performance up to 70 GHz, setting a new benchmark for the integration of photonic and electronic systems,” the company said. 

The platform will play a crucial role in powering artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing and future telecom networks, the company said.

“Only a handful of companies worldwide have demonstrated this capability, and we are proud to be the first in India. This breakthrough validates our years of R&D in precision packaging and positions us as a critical partner for the global silicon photonics industry. As AI and data-driven applications demand ever-higher performance, our innovation will help power the infrastructure of the future," said Dinanath Soni, Executive Director of izmomicro.
