Snoopy, this interview is a great find. It condenses and simpifies a lot of information for most of us common people here, Something we can understand. I'm going to copy each question and answer and post each one seperately and maybe get some comments on them

In the third and final installment on the Moore’s Law series, Graeme Lipschitz sits down with POET technologies executive, Peter Copetti, to discuss their technology and what they’re doing to counteract the end game of Moore’s Law.

Memeburn: What is POET Technologies and what do you do?

Peter Copetti: POET Technologies (formerly OPEL Technologies) provides a patented process and methodology for the design and manufacturing of next generation integrated circuits, which will power the next wave of chipset innovation. The POET platform is a flexible one that utilizes gallium and arsenide instead of traditional silicon which allows for a quantum step forward in efficiency, speed and cost over present technologies.

By providing integrated circuit gallium arsenide devices containing both electronic and optical elements on a single chip, this has significant advantages over today’s solutions in terms of density, reliability and power, at a lower cost. In addition, the platform builds upon and extends existing design, software and processes and doesn’t require semiconductor manufacturers to change equipment.

POET Technologies’ technical team consists of a group of PhDs and engineers focusing on physics, electronics, optics, design, testing and fabrication processes, plus technical support, led by Dr. Geoffrey Taylor.
