The silicon typically lies on top of a layer of silica in what (by analogy within Where traditional computer chips push electrons through copper wires, silicon photonic chips guide photons (particles of light) through tiny channels called waveguides etched into the same silicon material. The result is faster data transfer, less heat, and dramatically lower energy. Silicon photonics is a technology that uses light instead of electrical signals to move data through circuits built on silicon chips. The silicon is usually patterned with sub-micrometre precision, into microphotonic components.
