Indium Phosphide Wafer Industry Overview
The growing presence of large manufacturers in the indium phosphide wafer manufacturing sector is expected to intensify competitive rivalry during the forecast period. Market incumbents, such as JX Nippon Mining & Metals Corporation and Powerway Advanced Material Co. Ltd, considerably influence the overall market.
- March 2022: Intel revealed plans for a second new 'Megafab," a chipmaking site in Germany, with an expected USD 88 billion in investments across several European countries. Further, in August 2021, ACM Research Inc. launched its Bevel Etch product, which further expanded ACM's comprehensive offering of wet tools. This tool minimizes the impact of edge contamination for subsequent process steps and improves chip manufacturing yield.
- February 2022: The Government of Canada announced a significant investment in the Canadian semiconductor and photonics industries. The investment of CAD 240 million will help solidify Canada's role as a global leader in photonics and will bolster the development and manufacturing of semiconductors. Over 100 domestic and international semiconductor companies work on microchip research and development in Canada. There are over 30 applied research laboratories and five commercial facilities for areas including compound semiconductors, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and advanced packaging.
