ClassOne Technology receives record order from Applied Optoelectronics

ClassOne Technology announced it received its largest customer order in company history from Applied Optoelectronics, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAOI), consisting of multiple Solstice S8 single-wafer wet processing systems to support optical device production in Houston.

The order, described as follow-on purchases, will support Applied Optoelectronics' expansion of optical device manufacturing capacity, including a transition to 6-inch indium phosphide (InP) wafer production. Applied Optoelectronics had previously adopted the Solstice S8 platform from ClassOne Technology.

"The continued growth of AI datacenter infrastructure is placing new demands on both scale and process consistency in optical device manufacturing," said Stephen Hu, Deputy Director of Wafer and Chip Production at Applied Optoelectronics. "These additional Solstice systems will support our expansion in Texas, and having ClassOne's wafer processing technologies in house will help us speed our production ramp."

ClassOne Technology, based in Kalispell, Montana, makes electroplating and wet processing equipment used in semiconductor and microelectronic device manufacturing. According to the company, its Solstice systems are now deployed at the world's top five photonics device makers.

"This milestone order is not only a validation of the performance and scalability of our Solstice platform, but also a clear signal of where the industry is heading," said Byron Exarcos, CEO of ClassOne Technology.

The announcement was made based on a press release issued by ClassOne Technology.
