Semiconductor signs deal with OMM
Portland Press Herald
February 19, 2003
Fairchild Semiconductor has signed a long-term production
agreement with OMM, a provider of all-optical switching
modules.
The South Portland-based computer chip manufacturer
will supply OMM with wafers for use in optical networking
applications. Fairchild has been working with OMM to
develop high performance products for use in telecommunications
applications.
The products use tiny, movable devices built using
some of the same processes used to create computer
chips.
Fairchild is currently manufacturing and shipping
the wafers in volume to meet a rigorous qualification
process by OMM for its commercially available line
of photonic switch products. |
