Aeva announced that it has selected Fabrinet to produce Aeva?s 4D LiDAR chip module. As the engine of Aeva?s unique frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) technology approach to LiDAR, the module integrates key components onto a single silicon photonics chip module including laser transmitters, optics, and receivers. The silicon photonics design brings together a compact and mass-manufacturable LiDAR solution for automotive and industrial applications. Aeva selected Fabrinet for its deep expertise in silicon photonics integrated devices and advanced precision optical systems. With this announcement, Aeva is bringing online an advanced production line at Fabrinet and is establishing a local team in Thailand to support manufacturing activities. This new production line will produce Aeva's third generation 4D LiDAR chip modules and scale to support mass production volumes. The facility is automotive qualified with IATF 16949 certification.
