Analysis · TSEM · Manufacturing
The relationship has shifted from development to revenue-bearing manufacturing: Innolight's first NPO device is now in early production on Tower's PH18M silicon photonics process at the US California fab, and multiple next-generation NPO products have been taped out on Tower's 300mm platform. Innolight's footprint now spans four Tower facilities. No financial terms were disclosed, leaving the near-term impact unquantified, but the deal deepens Tower's position in AI data-center optical interconnect — the demand driver behind its recent record results and $600 million Q4 guidance issued 2026-11-02.
