since many here are cutting and pasting their favorite quotes from the recent 20F filings, heres one i like and we should always remember.......

PTI’s POET technology is applicable in a large portion of this semiconductor market as it represents an integrated comprehensive solution to increasing semiconductor performance in an economical and functional manner. The ability to be adapted to existing fabs with a minimum of re-tooling requirements, compared to alternatives, is an important differentiator. Business indicators suggest that POET may provide significant value to ever growing markets, where it addresses a need for lower power consumption, speed, solution size, and cost efficiency.

We are striving to develop the POET platform to provide the following advantages to the industry:

·Application Performance up to 10x faster than existing technologies

·Up to 90% power savings improvement over existing technologies (depending on application)

·Flexible and integrated application solutions that can be applied to a broad range of technical applications, including memory, digital/mobile, sensor/laser and electro-optical, among many others

·POET process can be deployed into existing silicon fabs — Since POET is a CMOS friendly technology fabricated using standard lithography techniques; it could be easily integrated into current semiconductor production facilities, extending the utilization of fabrication equipment and production lines.
