CLAIM · ASSESSED ~ · CONFIDENCE 0.60
Micron's ATMP facility commissioned February 2026 and Kaynes Semicon OSAT plant March 2026 in Sanand.
WHY THIS MATTERS · This matters because China just extended export controls to the equipment that makes gallium and germanium chips while the US locked down sub-14nm tool sales — a two-way choke that is already delaying compound-semiconductor parts for Western defense and power-electronics makers.
