TNO to construct InP-based photonic chip pilot manufacturing line
What happened
Research institute TNO will begin constructing a pilot manufacturing line for indium phosphide (InP)-based photonic chips in Eindhoven by year-end, scaling wafer size from 4-inch to 6-inch. This is an R&D-focused pilot line aimed at enabling industrial-scale production, developed in collaboration with academic partners. Neutral: This is a long-term R&D milestone with no immediate impact on commercial semiconductor supply, demand, or pricing.
