yieldHUB at PIC Summit 2026 | Bronze Partner & Exhibitor

Name: Kooba
Price range: $

yieldHUB exhibits at PIC Summit Europe 2026 as Bronze Partner, bringing yield management and test data analytics to Photonic Integrated Circuit manufacturers. Semiconductor analytics leader to demonstrate how unified electrical, optical and reliability data analysis improves PIC yield, reliability and time-to-market.

October 3, Limerick, Ireland - yieldHUB, a provider of yield management and semiconductor test data analytics software since 2005, will exhibit as a Bronze Partner at PIC Summit Europe 2026 on 3–4 November 2026 in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. On the exhibition floor, yieldHUB will show photonics engineers how to correlate electrical, optical and reliability test data in one platform to find yield detractors faster and scale photonic integrated circuits (PICs) into high-volume production.

The 2026 programme centres on industrialisation: the packaging, testing, yield, qualification and supply-chain challenges of delivering PICs at scale. Yield and test data analytics sit at the heart of that agenda. The summit brings the whole PIC ecosystem together, from designers and foundries to integrators, OEMs and investors; the 2025 programme featured speakers from NVIDIA, TSMC, Hon Hai (Foxconn), GlobalFoundries, imec, PsiQuantum and ASML.

What yieldHUB does for photonics manufacturers

yieldHUB is a yield management and test data analytics platform for semiconductor and photonics companies. It collects data from wafer sort, optical and electrical final test, assembly, burn-in and reliability qualification, and gives engineers one place to analyse yield, parametric drift, correlation and root cause.

For photonic integrated circuits, yieldHUB handles the data types that electrical-only yield tools miss: optical power, wavelength, extinction ratio, coupling efficiency, laser threshold current and responsivity, alongside standard electrical parameters. The platform supports heterogeneous test flows across wafer, die, module and transceiver level, and uses automation and AI-assisted analysis to shorten root-cause identification from weeks to hours.

yieldHUB serves fabless photonics companies, integrated device manufacturers (IDMs), foundries and OSATs building laser diodes, photodetectors, modulators, optical transceivers, and co-packaged optics (CPO) and linear pluggable optics (LPO) for AI data center interconnect, telecom, LiDAR and sensing.

Why PIC yield management is different from CMOS

PIC manufacturing adds variables that conventional semiconductor analytics were never designed for. Waveguide geometry, coupling alignment, laser integration and optical packaging tolerances all affect yield, and optical and electrical structures interact on the same die. Test data is typically fragmented across separate electrical, optical and reliability systems, so engineers cannot see the full picture when yield drops.

As PIC volumes rise to meet AI data center demand for 800G and 1.6T optical interconnect, that blind spot becomes expensive. yieldHUB consolidates every dataset so teams can trace device performance back to specific wafers, lots, equipment and assembly steps, detect systematic defects early and build predictive reliability models from HTOL, temperature cycling and humidity test data.

Gillian O'Donnell, Director of Growth at yieldHUB, said: "Photonics is redefining how data travels, and the companies building these chips face yield challenges that electrical-only analytics cannot see. PIC Summit Europe is the right place to show how a unified view of optical, electrical and reliability data lets engineering teams ramp photonic integrated circuits with confidence. We look forward to meeting the teams taking PICs from the lab into volume production."

Frequently asked questions

What is PIC Summit Europe? PIC Summit Europe is Europe's leading photonic integrated circuit industry event, a two-day conference and exhibition on how PICs scale from innovation to real-world deployment. It brings together designers, foundries, integrators, OEMs, investors and end customers in datacom, telecom, AI infrastructure, automotive and sensing, with a programme of talks, exhibition and high-level networking including an invitation-only dinner.

What is yield management software for photonics? Yield management software collects and analyses manufacturing test data to find why devices fail, improve the proportion of good parts and reduce time-to-market. For photonics it must combine optical and electrical measurements with reliability data, which yieldHUB does in a single platform.

Who should visit yieldHUB at PIC Summit Europe 2026? Test, product, yield, quality and reliability engineers, and operations and engineering leaders at photonics companies ramping PICs, optical transceivers, CPO or LPO products into production.
