Cpthollywood.....I think this is worth pasting here for many who won't open it. Hope u don't mind. It simply says it all for people who want it simple.
Canada's POET Technologies Inc.
says it has come up with a disruptive solution to address production bottlenecks and high assembly costs faced by the global chip-manufacturing industry: the Optical Interposer.
The company, which is headed by highly regarded industry veterans, believes the innovation not only represents a marked improvement over existing solutions, but can become the de facto platform for the next generation of technology advancements.
According to POET, the Optical Interposer is more affordable, faster and smaller than its predecessors.
POET notes that its Optical Interposer is an ideal candidate for data centers, health technology, artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G networking. Remembering that semiconductors are used in almost every device — from phones and televisions to WiFi and refrigerators — POET's innovation could be quite significant. It uses the hybrid integration of photonics and electronics to consolidate components onto a single, scalable platform — an achievement that much larger companies have tried for years to deliver.
Potentially, products built on the Optical Interposer could address the shortage of chips, because of its small form factor and drastically reduced bill of materials. In 2021, chip shortages led to manufacturing slumps from a number of Wall Street giants, including Nvidia Corp.
POET told Benzinga it has plans to open the Singapore Hybrid-Integrated Next-generation micro-Electronics (SHINE) Center at the National University of Singapore in June.
The company says this facility will help establish its vision of a hybrid integration solution to silicon photonics. The Toronto-based company has offices in Allentown, Pennsylvania; Singapore, Shenzhen, China; and Xiamen, China.
