Fairchild In MEMS Volume Supply Agreement
Fairchild Semiconductor will supply US optical networking supplier OMM with micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) wafers under a long-term production agreement. OMM produces MEMS-based all-optical switching modules.
Fairchild Semiconductor will supply US optical networking supplier OMM with micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) wafers under a long-term production agreement. OMM produces MEMS-based all-optical switching modules.
Fairchild is currently manufacturing and shipping wafers in volume to meet a rigorous qualification process by OMM for its line of photonic switch products. These OMM products are compliant with Telcordia Technologies' telecom reliability and environmental standards.
Fairchild/OMM agreement is dependent on Fairchilds successful transfer of the SUMMiT IV MEMS process technology from the Sandia US national laboratory. Fairchild is the only company that is currently offering this technology for foundry manufacturing.
