Yunnan Lincang Xinyuan Germanium Industry Co., Ltd. has authorized its majority-owned subsidiary, Yunnan Xinyao Semiconductor Materials Co., Ltd., to proceed with a high-quality indium phosphide (InP) single-crystal wafer project.
With a total planned investment of RMB189 million (USD27.47 million), the project will add a new production line based on existing capacity, with an annual output of 300,000 wafers (4-inch equivalent, including 6,000 6-inch wafers). Upon completion, the company's total capacity will reach 450,000 wafers per year (4-inch equivalent). The construction period is estimated at 18 months.
In recent years, rapid growth in the optical communications market has driven sustained demand for InP wafers. Through this investment, the company aims to further expand capacity and support the high-quality development of its compound semiconductor materials business.
