What Does “POET” Mean? What Does “PET” Mean?
• “POET” = “Planar Opto-Electronic Technology”.
• POET is a revolutionary Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) process used to build electrical, optical, and electro-optical integrated circuits.
• Supports a full range of electrical and optical active and passive circuit components.
• Very high performance versus existing silicon (up to 100x faster).
• Very low power consumption versus existing silicon (up to 95% less).
• Much more versatile than legacy compound semiconductor processes (GaAs, InP, others).
• Can be manufactured using existing CMOS chipmaking equipment.
• Fully compatible with existing semiconductor design and manufacturing flows.
• Will allow unprecedented integration into a single chip of functions that take entire chipsets today for large component cost reduction, and (particularly for optics) tremendous (e.g. 80%) reduction in assembly and test costs.
• "PET“ = Planar Electronic Technology”.
• PET is the electrical subset of the full POET process.
• Can support CMOS, Bi-CMOS, and Bipolar device fabrication.
• Offers lower cost, simpler process/fab options for applications that don’t require optical feature set.
POET’s benefits are analogous to the benefits of the first silicon integrated circuits:
• Eliminate connectors, solder joints, assembly and multiple packaging steps.
• Decrease size, cost, complexity and power.
• Increase performance and reliability.
• Create a path for future improvements and scaling.
• Board-to-board, chip-to-chip optics with low-cost integrated transceivers.
• Substantial increase in chip I/O bandwidth with reduced power using integrated wavelengthdivision multiplexing.
• A higher speed and lower power complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) with integrated serializer/deserializer & clock data recovery (SERDES & CDR).
• Novel high-density universal memory, Optical RF generation, RF photonic filtering, Optoelectronic low-jitter clock generation and on-chip optical distribution, OE computing and new architectures based on O&E combinations (e.g. quantum computing).
3rd Party Independent Validation of POET:
• POET Technologies partners with an international defense services company that is a global leader in military electronic systems design, development, manufacturing and integration.
• Funded by AFRL, POET entered into a contract with 3rd party partner in 2008 with the intent of replicating a specific POET device in a 3rd party MIL Spec. environment.
• The 3rd party partner has world-class GaAs research facilities and has numerous PhD researchers working on the continued development of POET.
• POET’s partnership has successfully reproduced the POET technology as published, by producing and testing the critical electrical elements of POET Platform sub-process steps for transistors. (see more in the "Third Party Valuation of its POET Technology" pdf.)
Ready At The Right Time:
CMOS Silicon Evolution Is Ending!
• Moore’s Law era 1960-2015?
• CPU/GPU execution unit speeds haven’t improved in over 10 years.
• Industry looking for new technology path.
• Packaging Techniques Have Not Improved OE Transceiver Cost.
• Various hybrid integration techniques like 2.5/3 D packaging, silicon photonics have not led to improved Opto-Electronic Transceiver costs.
• Single-chip transceivers needed for fiber to fully replace copper for system interconnect applications.
• Copper Cable Era For System Interconnect Is Ending.
• 1 Gigabit Ethernet system interconnect was and is mostly copper-based.
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet system interconnect was and is almost entirely fiber-based.
• Optical Systems Need More Lithography, Less Mechanical Assembly.
• Many optical systems that need aligned arrays of sensors and/or lasers cannot be built today due to mechanical assembly cost constraints.
• POET offers this alignment capability by means of lithography, dramatically lowering the cost of these products (IR sensors, holographic displays, etc.).
Applications:
• POET’s technology can surpass speed limits of widely used CMOS silicon chips and is much better positioned for stacking multiple chips to increase performance.
• A functional POET device may reduce the power consumption of laptops, tablets, smartphones, servers, and/or other electronic
devices by 80%.
• Leads to drastic reduction in device size and battery power consumption.
• Power reduction in commercial-scale server farms represents tremendous cost savings to companies like IBM, Google and Intel.
• In November 2011, Hewlett Packard announced that it is working with numerous chip manufacturers to create ultraefficient, low-energy servers aimed at companies running largescale remote computing operations such as Twitter and Facebook.
• POET can also produce an infra-red sensor for use in air, sea, ground, and space with sensitivity that is an order of magnitude
higher than existing technology.
Commercial Applications:
• CPU.
• Memory.
• CMOS.
• Servers.
• Processor to Processor Optical Interconnect.
Communication Applications:
• Smart Phones.
• Network (Cell Towers, LANs, MANs).
• Fiber to the Home (FTTH).
Defense
Applications:
• Infrared Sensors (Uncooled – SWIR, MWIR, LWIR).
Integrated photonics and electronics for:
• Radar and Lidar.
• Communications.
• Displays.
• Hardened computers and memory.
• Microwave and millimetre wave power sources.
Other
Applications:
• Active Optical Cables.
• Coherent laser arrays for pumps, industrial applications.
• Commercial UV/VIS/NIR cameras.
• Medical Imaging Devices.
Complementary Technologies:
2.5 D Packaging
• Refers to die-stacking where multiple chips are put in a single package; often used for memory devices.
3 D Packaging
• Refers to true multiple-chip packaging where devices can be assembled in any orientation to one another in the vertical or horizontal plane.
Silicon Photonics
• Typically involves a passive silicon substrate providing optical (and often electrical) interconnect between separate active devices attached to it.
Coherent Optics.
• Module-level tunable integrated optical circuits for DWDM optical networking applications.
Four Examples of POET Value:
CMOS Silicon:
• Final CMOS Si geometry (10/11 nm) is under development now; first production 2015?
• POET/PET offer about 100x speed improvement over CMOS silicon.
• POET/PET offer 10-100x power efficiency improvement over CMOS silicon.
OE Conversion:
• As example, current 10 Gigabit Ethernet transceivers use about 10 individually packaged ICs on a substrate in a die-cast housing; POET can reduce this to 1 individually packaged IC.
• Depending on application, POET can reduce overall OE transceiver cost by 60 to 90%.
Memory and Storage:
• Current memory types include dedicated SRAM, DRAM, and NVRAM devices.
• POET/PET memory cell can concurrently support all three memory types.
• Massive simplification at system level due to elimination of NVRAM backup/recovery.
• Much lower bit error rates than silicon-based memories (several orders of magnitude).
Sensors and Weapons:
• POET provides low-cost optical thyristor arrays that can be used as dual-mode sensor/laser arrays (same panel can find targets and destroy them).
• Main reason US Government funded research for so long (19 years and counting).
