Event summary
IQE plc and Tower Semiconductor have announced a multi-year agreement for the supply of Indium Phosphide (InP) epiwafers, crucial for optical connectivity solutions in AI-driven data centers. This collaboration will support Tower's silicon photonics platforms, including technology for 200Gbs/lane pluggable transceivers and prototyping for 400Gb/lane modulators. The deal also settles an intellectual property dispute, with Tower granting IQE a worldwide, royalty-free license for porous silicon patents.
