TFLN keeps setting records, but the market is misreading the signal. Every headline is a win for the physics; none tears down the three walls actually blocking volume production. STT breaks down TFLN's opportunity, challenges, home turf, and where Taiwan fits.

TFLN enters its first year of 1.6T volume production. From a Harvard lab to UMC's 8-inch line, thin-film lithium niobate's ultra-high bandwidth and low drive voltage make it a key lever for power efficiency in AI infrastructure.
