TrendForce: CPO Moves Toward Mass Production, 2027 Will Be the Key Year for Test Architecture Convergence

Zhito Finance APP has learned that according to TrendForce, based on the latest AI interconnect technology research, as AI data centers drive up demand for high-speed transmission, co-packaged optics (CPO) is gradually moving toward mass production, making shortened testing time and reduced costs important issues. Because CPO requires coordinated electrical and optical measurement, demand for integration of testing equipment and software is rising, and 2027 is estimated to be a key year for convergence of test architectures. While traditional semiconductor automated test equipment (ATE) giants are actively positioning themselves, new process and technology challenges are also creating entirely new business opportunities for related equipment, test interface, and packaging and testing service providers.
