many insights found there including

The POET (Planar Opto Electronic Technology) platform is a patented semiconductor fabrication process that uses gallium arsenide technology to combine electronic and optical elements on a single integrated circuit.

Utilizing completely standard CMOS fabrication equipment and process steps POET and PET will allow semiconductor manufacturers to make microchips that are far faster and more energy efficient than current silicon devices, and far less expensive to produce.

Key benefits of the POET platform include:

100x speed improvement over CMOS silicon (silicon hits a “power wall” at about 4 GHz that has limited circuit speeds to about 3.2 GHz over the last 10 years)
10-100x power efficiency improvement over CMOS silicon (depending on application)
Flexible application that can be applied to virtually any technical application, including memory, digital/mobile, sensor/laser and electro-optical, among many others
No retrofit or other modifications to existing silicon fabs required – Since POET/PET are CMOS technologies fabricated using standard lithography techniques; they are easily integrated into current semiconductor production facilities extending the profitable utilization of fabrication equipment and production lines that would otherwise be considered at the end of life.
