We will wake up one morning (soon) with a PDA announcement. Note the comment about milestone 6. This milestone was achieved and reported in the June 27 and the moving of this milestone was a result of input from potential PDA partners…In other words they have been in discussions with industry for quite a while now and I believe they are probably at an advanced stage of negotiating deals contingent on a successful outcome of the 100nm project for some and maybe other milestones for other PDA's
Poet development alliance
To date, Poet has met with several large-scale technology firms which have expressed interest in jointly adapting Poet to commercial-scale implementation. Some of these potential alliance partners have already provided input into Poet's alignment of resources, notably with respect to the company's technical road map. Some specific instances include the moving forward of milestone six in Poet's corporate presentation, achieved in the second quarter 2013; and the current 100 nm initiative, which is proceeding as planned. Incubating such relationships is a task of the special strategic committee, as a key aspect of finalizing licensing relationships toward a powered by Poet device ecosystem.
From Aug 15
Establishing a Poet development alliance (PDA): The company will be establishing relationships with one or more industrial partners looking toward jointly adapting Poet to commercial scale III-V implementation. Alliance partners will provide key input including intellectual assets, technical staff, manufacturing capability and foundry resources. In addition to optimizing device parameters and yields, a near-term goal will be to establish comprehensive design rules and a device parameter library for Poet, which will proliferate licensed designs in a Poet device ecosystem.
Drive for reduction of feature size to 100-nanometre range: The company will reprioritize its technical road map by introducing specific milestones associated with reducing feature size from the submicron to the 100-nanometre range in scale, targeting the fourth quarter of 2013 for that milestone. Consequently, the milestone for full optoelectronic integration on a single die will be rescheduled to the second quarter of 2014. Even without this full integration milestone, the 100-nanometre goal anticipates the cadence of commercial III-V foundry capabilities. This road map will focus the company's Odis subsidiary on developmental work that will allow for scalable production within existing commercial fabs.
From June 27
Opel Technologies Inc. has achieved milestone 6 in its development road map of the proprietary planar optoelectronic technology (Poet) platform for monolithic fabrication of integrated electronic and optical devices on a single semiconductor wafer, a next-generation alternative to silicon complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology.
"The SSC deemed milestone 6 to be critical for our commercialization activities, and staff focused on this milestone. That we achieved milestone 6 so quickly spotlights the calibre of the Poet team, and our ability to execute and to pivot to industry needs."
Mr. Copetti added, "Due to ongoing needs of the SSC, other predetermined milestones and dates may have to change without notice -- but any changes will be consistent with our commercialization mandate."
