At 7:10 he talks about specifically the introduction of unique materials, carefully selected and put into manufacturing in our line which allows you to kinda reach the levels of performance that photonics demands. What's unique about global foundries in addition to the, you know - as expected active and passive optical components - you know, things like modulators, and waveguides, and germanium detectors, we also have a platform that we call GF Fotonics, that's spelled with an F, or our photonics brand where we have a stand-alone, unique platform where we have now combined RF CMOS we practice in our CMOS factory with out optical components on the same chip. So we offer a PDK - a process design kit that has both RF CMOS and optics on the same PDK which allows you to do the electical-optical simulation and be able to create a chip that is basically doing the function of three or four different chips that would normally be done in the past discretely, we allow you to do it now on a chip, which brings you to significant economic and performance advantages.
Can you tell us which customers you are working with? 8:32
Ya, I can tell you which customers have agreed to be mentioned in our press release, and agreed to be included in these types of conversations...Ya know, as a foundry we guard each customer's IP and product plans very carefully because that's the whole point of being a foundry, being a manufacture service. But I can site the customers that have agreed to be featured to be on our platform and that were included in our press release......
He goes on to site those listed in the prior releases on the GF Fotonics platform recent releases.
This does not sound to me like the entire list of participating partners have yet agreed to be disclosed.
This does not sound to me like the entire story is yet being told.
