Don’t you realize that when something becomes a sticky it is removed from the daily posts where nobody has to read it any longer. I have NEVER read it since it became a sticky and I am quite sure that secretly everyone who comes to this message board is really only looking for the newest “live” post that might provide NEW information. It is the dynamic interchange I.e. new posts ie NOVELTY that people engage themselves with.
People are secretly laughing themselves silly over the fact your post went sticky. “Good…. Out of the way.”.
It was far worse showing up here daily. Much improved since it was removed.
(Whoops…. I gave away this nugget of sighed relief).

There appears to be a group of imaginary newbies recently invested in LWLG and reading this board.
I highly suspect that the newbie audience is as rare as the eastern cougar in which case there is a lot of postings completely being ignored.
Have a good weekend everybody (and I am sure you will with today's close).
Great things coming on Monday I suspect.

What is a finalized PDK? Would that be a wafer with an operating modulator on it?
Define what a finalized PDK would look like.
I double dare you.
I triple dare you.
L_R
Update:
An error is acknowledged to the last message in the phrase "the wafers containing polymer devices on them".
A polymer device can be integrated with the wafers produced by GF.
So clearly the wafers can be diced into individual dies for which polymer devices can be integrated.
But then they could be integrated before dicing as well.
To produce these wafers requires a PDK from Global Foundry.
So polymer devices it appears could be integrated into these wafers but I don't know of any company that has working polymers modulators.
Or do I? Or do we? Well any working modulator with polymer inside/on top will do.
Global Foundry is preparing for the marriage of polymer devices and ready made wafers.
And no TP I did NOT say Lightwave Devices and no I absolutely do not believe anyone else has a working polymer modulator without Lightwave's polymer inside (on top).

Abstract: “We demonstrate direct access to the silicon device layer of a monolithic CMOS electronics-photonics platform with a full-digital back-end-metal stack, in post-fabrication at die level, allowing the integration of functional materials (e.g. into slot waveguides).”
This paper describes the BEOL process for integrating EO polymers in ring modulators on wafers supplied by GlobalFoundries.
Probably in one of these presentations?

Foundries keep all of their inside secrets to themselves since it is a highly competitive business especially the yields achieved on new products coming out. Millions of dollars are at risk competitively.
Foundries also demand that this information from potential clients be kept secret as well ergo the reason Lightwave CANNOT give out who they are working with and what advances have been achieved.
Laying blame at Lightwave’s doorstep for not communicating this inside information is therefore an inane response.
See prior posts on this from earlier posts this week from yours truly and why %yields at foundries are not possible to release for example.

Production trial runs will never be done in the lab in Denver.
The cost per sq foot to create a foundry equivalent room is approx $4000 per square foot. A building of small size 40ft by 60ft yielding 2400 sq feet would cost approx $10,000,000. Prohibitive….. so let the foundries do the job.
To obtain a high yield >1000 poled modulator units can only be done in a foundry.
What a brilliant move by ML for putting this on a slide presentation. Now investors wouldn’t know the significance of this foundry language but any semiconductor / foundry person in the audience or listening in to the presentation seeing this on slide 28 would sit up and take notice. They would say to themselves “Someone somewhere has done a trial run at a foundry and achieved high yields.”
Doing this presentation several times gets the message out to the semiconductor world without disclosing the actual results of at least one foundry.
The result…… well” if they can do it we should be able to do it too”…. And away they go ….. off to the races. Brilliant move by ML. It’s advertising and so we understand why he travels and does these presentations in NA and Europe.
We find out from the patents that way back last fall they were having PVT success at one foundry at least.

Beware of Unverifiable RED FLAGS
I met a man who told me that he had seen a UFO and when I expressed doubt he challenged me to prove him wrong.
I said "I don't need to. You are clearly from another planet."
This is often what I see posted here by the RED FLAG poster.
Both he and is arguments are often unverifiable.
L_R
Why does slide 28 not give the yield percentage and state instead that they have high yields >1000 units ?
The ratio of good chips to bad chips is called the yield and it's never 100 percent. . Chip companies very closely guard their actual yield numbers the way poker players guard their cards and for the same reason: They don't want to give competitors any inside information. Anything less than 100 percent yield is embarrassing, but every company knows that goal is impossible. Yields of 85 percent to about 97 percent are typical for midrange and high-end ICs. Simple chips will enjoy higher yields, whereas new or complex chips will have embarrassingly low yields.
PVT and production trials.
PVT From another link:
A product validation test often measures the quality of finished products made at full production speed. Normally this means making 1,000 or more units of a product and measuring for functional and cosmetic imperfections, as well as irregularities within the manufacturing process, like operator training level, line speed, and line yield. Engineers then recommend and apply changes to the manufacturing process to improve yield and quality. This process can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, depending on production times.
high yields on slide 28
Oftentimes, products made during these final tests become some of the first units to be sold as part of the initial production run
That is a PVT result....... >1000. Common knowledge in a production trial run.
L_R
Except at the top of each slide it is about FOUNDRY results and the high yields. How do you go from foundry results to “they did it over time in the Lightwave Lab”.
Deceitful …….. pure and simple.
L_R
Whoops. Did I read "Poling PRODUCTION TRIALS".
Yup I did.
L_R
TP:
Bye TP.
Where do you think phrases like this come from?
Go learn what " >1000 poled devices means".
Go learn what PVT or MVT means in industry trial runs.
This phrase is only in production trials at foundries.
Name a place that can produce >1000 devices as a run rate.
You DON'T obtain these quantities making prototypes at a R&D lab.
The context btw was about "foundry fabrication" and "foundry processing" and "poling for foundries".
Enough said.
L_R
TP:
If you will agree that this phrase (below) is referring to PVT results then I might give you the presentation and the slide number but honestly if you listened to the presentations coming out of Lightwave you would have seen this phrase and it was discussed here on this board at length by me AND you did not try to argue the point. Why do I have to do this again? Really I feel like telling you to go find it yourself and read the presentations carefully.
"Extremely high yields on >1000 poled devices". This is the lingo used for PVT trials. I have a few links to this language coming from PVT trials..... i.e. (more than one article).
L_R
ML posted on his slide presentation that they had modulators coming back with >1000 successful units produced.. He probably should have had that included in the slide show because it reveals that the foundries were undergoing production trials. If NDA agreements required that production trials results should not be released to the public then the term >1000 was a dead give away for those understanding the term.
L_R
Xena:
We have already gone over this with TP and explained the industry terms and what they mean.
Do you remember the term >1000 units? It was on a slide show presentation where ML indicated that the current ramp up results were >1000units with success. So we are at the PVT stage with production at foundries.
TP has no understanding of the science and technology and it appears NOTHING about the various steps to ramping up production.
Once again I post from industry standards. TP is becoming forgetful or simply cannot absorb industry procedures ..... or .... just spreading FUD.
QUOTE:
EVT: EVT stands for Engineering Validation Test. The main purpose during this build phase is to select the production intent design, and then manufacture a number of units (100 to 1000) with that design to identify all of the issues that need to be fixed. This is also the least expensive time to introduce solutions to issues that need to be fixed – so it’s important to find every potential cause now as it will grow more costly at each stage.
DVT: DVT stands for Design Validation Test. The main purpose during this build phase is to verify mass production yields with one, production-worthy design and to qualify the first tool for every part. Typical quantities range from 300 to 2000.
PVT: PVT stands for Production Validation Test. The main purpose during this build phase is to verify mass production yields at mass production speeds and to qualify additional tools needed to support mass quantities for early ramp up of manufacturing. Typical quantities range from 1k to 20k. This is the last step in the development process before mass production.
MP: Mass Production is the final step in getting the product out the door. The product is validated and the assembly line is validated. This is where units get shipped to customers (and is also the most expensive time to introduce solutions to root causes.)
Since the slide presentation from last year indicated there were getting >1000 units with success Lightwave is at the PVT stage for modulators.
PVT: PVT stands for Production Validation Test.

Typical quantities range from 1k to 20k. This is the last step in the development process before mass production.
And of course this all means that PRODUCTION TRIALS have already been done somewhere with at least one foundry if not more.
TP might try to say there have been no production trial runs which means the slide that showed >1000 units being produced was a BOLD FACED LIE or TP has not a clue about industry standards and terms.

In any case It does not appear that Lightwave and Juniper Networking (mentioned in The article) are in competition…… but rather complimentary.
Can Lightwave improve ion Juniper’s switches. Not unless there are components that can be improved upon by adding the polymer….. and there might be but I haven’t been following Juniper’s tech since 1999. A lot of changes since then.

SHORT SQUEEZE NOTES (B):
DOES THIS REMIND YOU OF ANYONE?
What about people who play both sides of the trade.
Classic signs of a short squeeze can include:
SHORT SQUEEZE NOTES (A):
I have never been one to jump on the short squeeze postings but I believe the time is NOW to be part of one of the best short squeezes on the market.
So for the very first time I want to post to those who want to be part of a very profitable adventure that will be coming our way very soon.
Identifying Short Squeeze Setups
So, how do you identify potential short squeeze setups?
It starts with finding stocks that have a lot of shares being shorted. The number of shares short can be measured directly, but it’s also helpful to think of it as a fraction of the average daily volume of shares being traded. For example, if a stock has 100,000 shares short, but only an average of 20,000 shares traded per day, it would theoretically take short sellers five days to cover all of the short positions.
This is important because the higher the ratio of short shares to shares typically traded, the higher the demand for the stock will be among short sellers once the price starts rising. Typically, you’ll want to look for stocks where the number of shares short is at least five times the average daily volume. Ideally, the number of shares short should also make up a significant fraction of all the available shares – 10% or more.
The other thing to consider is whether the number of shares being shorted is increasing or decreasing. If shorts are being covered before a squeeze develops, the situation can defuse itself without a sudden spike in demand. If the number of shorts is continuing to increase even as it would take five days or more to cover all of the short positions, that’s a good sign that a short squeeze may be looming.
Comments: Have you seen this post before? HISTORIC ALL TIME HIGH IN SHARES SHORTED.
These posters know what a short squeeze looks like. Don't miss out on what could be one of the best short squeezes on the market. Coming your way soon.

Lightwave definitely is looking at verticals but it isn't an immediate preoccupation because they do not need to branch into these verticals just yet. Once the telecom market is being supplied with what Lightwave's is offering then there will be time to consider the verticals.
The next 12 to 18 months will be a wonderful time as press releases hit the wires and as the SP rises.
I venture to say the shorts will be occupied with getting out of the mess they are in. I have heard the squeal of shorts once before as they were being crushed in the narrow doorway looking for a quick exit. Expect the volume of posting to accelerate and noise of the posts to be like the roaring of the seas.
Some will even post 40 times a day as the doom and gloom prevails into the night hours.

That would be in vain.
