In this paper, the authors propose to design, build and test chips internally, rather than leveraging shared shared CMOS foundry infrastructure, which is a common practice for many research groups.
Abstract
Silicon photonic devices can be built using commercial CMOS chip fabrication facilities, or 'fabs'. However, nearly all research groups continue to design, build and test chips internally, rather than leveraging shared CMOS foundry infrastructure.

Journal Article

Silicon photonics

TL;DR: The silicon chip has been the mainstay of the electronics industry for the last 40 years and has revolutionized the way the world operates as mentioned in this paper, however, any optical solution must be based on low-cost technologies if it is to be applied to the mass market.
