Thin Film Lithium Niobate (TFLN) Wafer Product Introduction

Thin Film Lithium Niobate (TFLN) wafers refer to engineered substrates that feature a nanoscale thin layer of lithium niobate (LiNbO3) bonded onto an insulator, typically silicon dioxide, and supported by a silicon handle wafer. These wafers retain the excellent optical, electro-optic, and nonlinear properties of bulk lithium niobate while offering superior scalability, integration, and performance uniformity for photonic device fabrication.

TFLN wafers are the foundational material for manufacturing next-generation photonic components, including high-speed optical modulators (phase and intensity), frequency converters, and quantum photonic devices. Compared to traditional bulk LiNbO3 substrates, TFLN wafers enable lower optical loss, tighter confinement of light, and compatibility with photonic integrated circuit (PIC) platforms. The market for TFLN wafers is still developing, with a small number of global suppliers providing 4-inch, 6-inch, and emerging 8-inch wafers for both research and commercial applications in optical communications, LiDAR, and quantum technologies.

In terms of product type, currently 6 Inches is the largest segment, hold a share of 59.5%. TFLN wafers are mainly produced in 4-inch and 6-inch formats. The industry is rapidly transitioning to 6-inch due to better compatibility with existing CMOS and silicon photonics foundries. Jinan Jingzheng Electronics stands out as one of China's most commercially advanced TFLN wafer manufacturers. With a focus on 4-inch and 6-inch bonded wafers and reliable output, it supports domestic and international customers in modulators and photonics research. Its route favors mechanical exfoliation combined with direct bonding, balancing yield and cost.

In terms of product application, currently Electro-Optical is the largest segment, hold a share of 55.1%. Optical communication modulators, especially for 400G/800G+ coherent links in AI and data center interconnects, are the primary commercial application of TFLN wafers. Compared to conventional bulk LiNbO3 devices, TFLN-based modulators offer ultra-compact footprint, high bandwidth (>60GHz), low drive voltage, and superior scalability. TFLN is also gaining attention in optical resonators, acousto-optic modulators, frequency combs, and quantum photonic chips.
