News Release: Fairchild Semiconductor and OMM Announce Strategic Collaboration in MEMS Technology

 

Fairchild 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.
