Nice!

However, note that this was said by Ajit in 2013, before POET was in his cards.

I like this quote:

Even if you have the money, there are real technology challenges out there. Device architecture with FinFET and FD-SOI and, further in the future, NanoWires and using III-V materials with silicon. On the litho side there are lots of issues with both double patterning (primarily just cost) and EUV (primarily source power at present).

...

You have a man incredibly well versed in present challenges of the semiconductor industry.
A man who has never shyed away from speaking his dissent, rational, vision.
Someone who trully has vast experience with the modern/future paradigm of semi industry.

...

And this one:

22:44 - Ajit Manocha: I told Peter when he called me six months ago to join the board – now I wanted to enjoy my retirement life. I told him, “Wow, why didn’t you just meet me two years ago?” And I know that my successor at GlobalFoundries says: “Ajit, when are you going to tell me all about this technology?” But today, the companies have invested in 14 nm. I think they are going to see the ROI is going to be much more difficult than 40 nm. This [POET] will become a game changer.

...

What did Ajit see?

I'm simply writting my though process. Consider it my personal journal. An exercise in thought.
