Think Big VIII
Mister Manocha exceptional leadership in perspective
his change of mind - why ??

please

at SEMICON West In july 2013, as written so well by Rik Myslewski:

Ajit Manocha, the CEO of wafer-baker GlobalFoundries, sees plenty of choppy waters ahead for the good ship Moore's Law – and warns that navigating them will be increasingly expensive.


Simultaneously he adds the last cornerstone to GlobalFoundries transformation

In Mr. Dan Hutcheson/weSRCH words: There is no debate that Foundry business model ran into major problems at 40nm and 28nm, which is why Ajit Manocha invented Foundry 2.0 as a fix.

Probably the point in time he changes focus.


Dr Taylor and his team’s achievement:

24 February 2014
POET Technologies Announces Integrated Optoelectronic Infrared Device Fabrication and Industrial Foundry Validations

4 March 2014
POET Technologies Achieves New Milestone and Reports Significant Progres

POET/TDK hit the industry:

7 April 2014
POET Technologies Announces Completion and Availability of POET Technology Design Kit Documentation (POET/TDK)


The growing uneasiness in the Semiconductor industry.

13 Things I Heard at Semicon West 2014 (slide show)
slide No 2 Moore's Law has definitely slowed
slide No 4. There's a (fairly good) consensus on the roadmap to 5 nm
slide No 5. Small, fast packages getting big, coming slowly
slide No 8. EUV is still not ready
slide No 9. Directed self-assembly to the rescue
slide No 10. Outlier options are still options, but they're outliers
slide No 11. Cool new materials are still not ready for prime time
slide No 12. 450mm wafers will be ready in 2018, if anyone wants them
slide No 13. Bigger companies, smaller show


and add to this that Mr. Manocha big plan will certainly achieve a faster then expected breakthrough at World Semiconductor Council (WSC) negotiation:

27 May 2014 WASHINGTON
World Semiconductor Council (WSC) recommendations include the elimination of tariffs, harmonization of regulations, and simplification of customs procedures

The (WSC) is a worldwide body of semiconductor industry executives from China, Chinese Taipei, Europe, Japan, Korea and the United States that meets annually to address issues of global concern to the semiconductor industry.

“The World Semiconductor Council furnishes an unique and effective forum for global semiconductor leaders to identify challenges of mutual concern and develop a plan to overcome them,” said Ajit Manocha, 2014 WSC chairman of the U.S. delegation and former CEO of GLOBALFOUNDRIES. “The initiatives presented in the 2014 Joint Statement represent a significant step toward enacting policies that encourage open communication, intergovernmental cooperation, and fair competition throughout the world. I’m especially gratified by the WSC’s unrelenting commitment to achieving duty-free treatment for next-generation semiconductors through expansion of the Information Technology Agreement, which would be one of the most valuable agreements for the global high tech industry in over a decade.”


Probablly accelerated Mr. Manocha decision to meet and finally join a same brilliant master mind on this incredible journey.

But his change of mind occured certainly with this clockwork announcement

or in layman's terms (see Poet Technologies - Corporate Presentation March 2014

• Quantum computing – Although quantum computing is in its infancy, POET can support quantum computing applications since it can support fabrication of quantum dot-based spinqubits and the devices needed to read and write them on the same die

Either way, the journey started July 7, 2014

POET Technologies Appoints Ajit Manocha as Executive Vice Chairman and Announces Other Board Updates

Mr. Manocha commented: “POET promises tremendous potential to the semiconductor industry as a next-generation technology. I am looking forward to being part of the POET Team and especially working directly with Mr. Copetti on building shareholder value.”
