Abstract
A yield and cost model for integrated optical chips is presented on the basis of easily attainable figures. It allows a prediction to be made of yield and cost for complex optical chips on the basis of currently available processing technology. Both yield and cost area of calculated in absolute terms but in comparison with a simple reference chip from the production line. The model can already be applied when a chip is at an early phase of development, i.e., at the planning stage
