PET Technology Design Kit (TDK)
This PET/TDK milestone (MS-12) focuses on devices requiring only the electronic subset of the POET process; PET offers lower cost and simpler process fab options for applications that do not require the full POET optical feature set. The PET/TDK allows the Company to deliver its technology to fab partners and customers, and enable further innovation to integrate both analog and digital functions together – an application that is not possible today using silicon CMOS.
The PET/TDK milestone is progressing well, and as planned. As noted previously, the addition of Daniel DeSimone to the team has allowed this activity to remain on track, while other activities progress in parallel.
Moving PET/TDK forward requires optimizing our process technologies and devices using computer-aided design (TCAD) simulation. Specific TCAD efforts focus on complementary hetero-structure field-effect transistors (HFETs) and bipolar transistors (HBTs). This design basis will support complementary HFET (CHFET), bi-CHFET, bipolar and thyristor device fabrication.
CMOS technologies, both existing today and on the industry roadmap. PET/TDK models will be available to third parties around the end of the third quarter 2014.
Mr. Copetti noted, “Thanks are due to Dr. Taylor and the entire technical team for their dedication and relentless focus on the multiple milestones the Company has set for them.”
He added, “While timelines have had to accommodate challenges in our drive to 100-nm, I am encouraged by the significant recent progress, especially in parallel with our PET/TDK achievements. Our potential partners and customers have noted this significant progress, and this has allowed me and my executive team to have very detailed discussions with them under non-disclosure agreements, many of them ongoing at this time.”
By enabling increased speed, density, reliability, power efficiency, and much lower bill-of-materials and assembly costs, the POET semiconductor platform is expected to provide disruptive performance with an industry-compatible transition framework, and positions the Company as a leader in the new generation of companies defining the growth paradigm in the post-Moore’s Law world.
