“definitive agreement” on termi jota käytetty, eli kaipa se kauppa on sale, siellä toki vanhan alasajo / konversio(n suunnittelu InPiksi) menossa ?
Finland-based telecom equipment maker Nokia Corp says that, as part of its long-term plans for optical component manufacturing capacity expansion, it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Chandler Semiconductor Fabrication campus in Arizona of NXP Semiconductors N.V. of Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Opened in September 2020, the fab has been focused on RF gallium nitride (GaN), but was scheduled to be closed by NXP in 2027.
Subject to the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, Nokia will initially lease manufacturing capacity in part of the facility on the site starting in early 2027 and will convert the site for the production of indium phosphide (InP)-based optical communications chips, targeting the booming demand for AI data-center applications. Nokia will then acquire the full site, with the transaction expected to close in first-quarter 2029.
