French silicon substrate maker Soitec projects at least $200 million revenue from its Photonics-SOI wafers in 2024, driven by AI data center demand and locking in multi-year supply agreements with fixed prices and upfront deposits. The silicon wafer industry expects double-digit growth supported by capacity expansions and ongoing supply constraints, especially for high-end specialty wafers like Photonics-SOI.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Soitec's locked-in supply deals signal immediate openings in AI data center silicon photonics supply. If you make complementary parts or serve adjacent wafer niches, expect a jump in demand and tighter sourcing conditions this year.
