2025: Production of photonic plates for electronics launched in Moscow
In early December 2025, the Moscow Photonics Center in the Technopolice special economic zone in Zelenograd commissioned a complex for the production of photonic integrated circuits. The design capacity is up to 2 thousand production plates per year and up to 500 thousand photon chips, depending on the topology and functional purpose.
As Interfax reports, these parameters make it possible to ensure both the production of pilot production series and scalable mass production at a level sufficient to meet the needs of key sectors of the Russian economy. The launch ceremony of the new line was attended by the Minister of Industry and Trade of Russia Anton Alikhanov and the Mayor of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia provides subsidies in the amount of ₽2,512 billion as part of a mechanism to support the creation of critical technologies. Anton Alikhanov noted that the creation of their own production of photon integrated circuits will replace the critical import of foreign components in the field of high-speed data transmission and processing, the formation of modern telecommunications and computing infrastructure, as well as the development of sensorics.
The volume of production of photonic integrated circuits at the site of the Moscow Photonics Center is approximately 10% of the domestic market. The minister expressed confidence that Moscow and this site have great prospects for development. Anton Alikhanov mentioned plans for the development of photo pattern centers, which the ministry actively supports.
The minister explained that photonic integrated circuits are the basic element of the information infrastructure, providing a multiple increase in connection bandwidth, a decrease in power consumption and an increase in the speed of data exchange compared to traditional electronic solutions.
The area of the Moscow Photonics Center is 26.7 thousand square meters. m. Photon integrated circuits used in transceivers provide data transfer at a speed of more than 100 Gbps while reducing power consumption by up to 10 times and reducing the size of devices by up to 20 times.[1]
