Sherman fab upgrades to 6-inch wafers
Having already tripled InP output thanks in part to CHIPS Act funding provided under the previous US political administration, Coherent is about to move to 6-inch InP wafer production at its giant Sherman fab in Texas. The switch should enable more profitable InP device production, while Sherman is also the site used to fabricate GaAs-based VCSELs destined for Apple devices. Photo: Coherent.
