Coherent indium-phosphide wafer expansion — Sherman
The project adds photonics depth to Sherman’s semiconductor cluster and deserves separate incentive-performance tracking.
Project lifecycle
Current stage is based on the reviewed record and may change as new filings become public.
The Governor’s project list states Coherent will accelerate scaled indium-phosphide wafer production in Sherman through more than $154 million in investment supported by a Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund grant.
The expansion adds a critical photonics and semiconductor-supply component to Sherman’s rapidly growing advanced-manufacturing cluster.
