Taylor spent decades perfecting the exact order and layers of epitaxy in order to achieve the platform that supports all the unique POET devices. How many times do you think he went back to the drawing board. Synopsys was very quick to recognize the achievement? They have never seen or heard of anything like this before and they are the global leader in TCAD.
On that subject. The relationship with Synopsys was established very early in the monetizing strategy. We still don’t know the extent of that relationship but clearly it was the first alliance they had to establish in order to make the design available to fabs and customers. With the availability of the POET Design Kits the technology will be ready for companies to port their designs to POET. The foundation has been laid for these companies to see the benefits of POET in the next milestones and that is the bait. If you have ever fished off a dock with just a worm and watched all the little fish gather very quickly all trying to be the first to eat. Then all of a sudden a big fish comes in to see what the little fish are after. This is the way I view POET.
It’s early. Still working on my first coffee. Let’s have a productive day!
