RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Why reset milestone to 40nm from 100nm?I believe it was changed because the ability to achieve 40nm has been developed and the company is confident that the metrics associated with that node will convince the industry to more readily adapt POET. I think if Taylor was not confident in the commercial viability at that node then he would have stuck to just the 100nm target. And wintersun I believe you are correct regarding collaborations and what the customer wants. They may even be responding to new customers over the initial request that drove the 100nm initiative.
I think that when Manocha arrived on scene everything was reviewed in terms of who they were dealing with and a new course was chosen. The initial 100nm target could have been associated with someone who is now viewed as a threat and that company may be out of the loop now.
