X, said, I sat there and heard Lebby say they were in 5 in 2 continents both Silicon and InP and had 2 more they were getting ready to use. Last time I looked 5+2=7
X YOU are correct!!! and teddy bear is a LIAR and a DECEIVER!!!!!
And from discussion I had with Lebby one-on-one I would not be surprised that the number of Foundries is actually HIGHER today!!! Lebby talked about there being 30 Foundries which were ALL hungry for the Photonics Next-Gen technologies!!!
KCC is correct, I listened to this presentation as well!! again, it's about the sensitivity of the competition in Foundries activities, not about competition of the technologies being implemented in the PDK's at the various Foundries (and there are MANY!!)
KCC said, Now - I've mentioned this before, but the Belgian encore presentation was a bit more polished with this answer and here is Lebby's response about not sharing foundry details.
Lebby said, "I'm still very nervous about telling the competition, whether they’re semiconductor based or barium titanate or thin film lithium-based, who we're working with. And because I don't want to give them the idea - just because we've chosen a particular foundry - that they can go to the same one too. If they see that we work really well with Foundry X or Foundry Y then they may do that. And a lot of these companies are trying to figure out…you know there's 30 foundries…and all these foundries want to get into photonics because they see this as future business opportunity to run more wafers and so when we evaluate these foundries and we do our own benchmarking, I don't really want to tell everybody what we've decided. At least not right now. That doesn't mean we won't down the road when we feel it is more comfortable. We'll be talking about a lot more details about who we're working with, even to some extent the end users if it makes a lot of sense, but right now we're in this position that we just started our business and the last thing I want to do is enable the competition to catch up."
