Because nothing ever changes or evolves?

As a former Intel insider, can you provide some insight into CEO Geslinger’s recent statements that, due to recent advancements in semi-conductor materials/manufacturing, Moore’s Law (of increasing efficiency and speed) is still in play for at least another decade.
I assume something has changed, evolved or been developed; and can be integrated into current fabrication processes to allow this to be viable.
Do you know what that is?

Hi Koog. Thank you for your response, I mean that sincerely. I believe you're expressing your opinions in good faith, and that we should treat what you say seriously, and with respect, given that you spent many years as a senior engineer at Intel. It's probably fair to say that you know more about the semi-conductor manufacturing process than anyone on the board.

I want to question you on a practical level, not a technical one. I have no technical expertise.

1) What is your current position, exactly? That the inclusion of Lightwave's tech in semi-conductors is impossible, improbable, or merely uncertain?

2) I'm sure you would agree that Lightwave's management has some 'big hitters' from the industry (Lebby, Leonberger, Miller), plus the advisory board. The company has been under NDA with semi-conductor foundries (plural), for over a year. Within the last couple of months, the CEO has confidently talked about partnering with foundries (plural) and the joint release of PRs. This is after the tech has been under review with them for over a year. Don't you think it's implausible that the CEO would be speaking this way unless your concerns and reservations had been addressed? My crucial point is that he's not just expressing this confidence in a vaccuum, it seems to be deriving from the feedback from the foundries.

Eagerly awaiting your reply.

Koog,
You are still confusing electronics and photonics i.e. computing data with electrons versus moving the data with photons. The latter is what LWLG and the entire photonics industry is focused on, by creating feature rich photonic ICs (not electronic ICs). Global Foundries just this week stated they plan to enhance their foundries to produce these feature rich photonic ICs and will be production ready by Q1 2022.

I encourage you to continue to follow these breakthroughs over the next six months. I also encourage you to continue educating yourself on the topic of photonics, a $50+ billion industry over the next decade.
