La Luce Cristallina produces 200mm BaTiO₃ wafers at Austin fab
What happened
La Luce Cristallina has begun producing 200mm barium titanate (BaTiO₃) coated wafers at its new Austin fab, with an annual output of 200-250 wafers and plans for 300mm production. BaTiO₃ is positioned as a high-performance, foundry-compatible material for next-gen photonic ICs in telecom and AI data centers. Neutral: This is a niche R&D milestone with no immediate, quantifiable impact on mainstream component supply or pricing.
