Coherent Semiconductor Manufacturing Facility Expansion in Texas

planned

Coherent plans to expand its 6-inch Indium Phosphide (InP) semiconductor manufacturing facility in Sherman, Texas to support increased production of optical networking technologies used for AI infrastructure. The expansion will double manufacturing production space and quadruple wafer production capacity, adding advanced wafer fabrication equipment and cleanroom capacity. The project is supported by up to $50 million in direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act from the U.S. Department of Commerce and previous support from the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund and Sherman Economic Development Corporation.
