Veeco and imec develop 300mm compatible process to enable integration of barium titanate on silicon photonics

Plainview, N.Y. (U.S.A) and Leuven (Belgium), January 28, 2026 – Veeco
Instruments Inc. (Nasdaq: VECO) and imec announced today that they have
collaboratively developed a 300mm high volume manufacturing compatible
process that enables the integration of barium titanate (BaTiO3 or BTO)
on a silicon photonics platform. BTO is a promising material with unique
electro-optical properties that can be used for high-speed and low-power
light modulation in emerging applications such as high-speed optical
transceivers, quantum computing, light detection and ranging (LiDAR),
and AR/VR applications. Historically, approaches to integrate BTO have
