With semiconductor supply chains being hit in South East Asia due to the most recent wave of the virus driven by Delta variant, many companies have to produce ocmponents at reduced capacity (in Malaysia, for example, you can only operate at 60% capacity).

Think about the labor-intensive photonic industry. Remember how the optical engines require a room full of people manually testing the devices? This industry is getting devastated by the virus from multiple angles and the need for automated fabbing and testing at wafer-level is more acute than ever.

Enter POET Optical Interposer, which promises to automate the fab and testing of optical engines at wafer-scale.
