Netchip foundry offers 'Japanese quality, American service and Chinese pricing'

摘要

Netchip, a new optoelectronics foundry, is to be set up in LA. The companies behind it are DMG Technologies, a manufacturer of optical subassemblies used in telecomm, datacomm, CATV, and instrumentation systems, and Adtech Technologies, designer of semiconductor-based optoelectronic devices. The companies have formed a partnership and pooled resources. Initially, Netchip will produce distributed feedback (DFB), Fabry-Perot, and coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) lasers, as well as avalanche photodiodes (APD). While some of the production is designated for use in DMG's line of optical sub-assemblies, Netchip is already filling subcon-tract orders for other international laser manufacturers.
