I'm very familiar with this process as I use it regularly.
The area is massive. 330um × 290um are the X and Y dimensions. The area is roughly 0.1 mm2. You can see the comparison on table 1. This is roughly 50000 times larger than an SRAM of 45nm process.
This is the problem with photonic circuits. They are massive compared to electronics.
