ClassOne wins multi-system Solstice S8 follow-on orders from photonics manufacturers for high-volume 6-inch InP gold plating

ClassOne Technology of Kalispell, MT, USA (which manufactures electroplating and wet-chemical process systems for ≤200mm wafers) says that two “industry-leading” photonics manufacturers have placed follow-on production orders for multiple Solstice S8 single-wafer wet processing systems. Configured with ClassOne’s GoldPro electroplating chambers, the Solstice systems will be used for high-volume gold electroplating of 4-inch and 6-inch indium phosphide (InP) wafers key to next-generation optical devices for artificial intelligence (AI) data centers and other high-bandwidth communications applications...
