How different are these nanoeconomic forces to those that have traditionally driven the semiconductor industry?
Fancher: When you think of the enabling aspects of nanotechnology, for example, having a variety of applications for the same nanophenomenon, and the rapid escalation in cost to commercialize nanotechnology, there’s a growing need for alternative technology partnership models. Many of our partner companies – several of them OEMs – are looking to give their customers options, and are confronted with multiple design parameters; they have a need to gain access to a quick turnaround time capability to do their R&D and pilot prototyping, which isn’t just prototyping the device, but also developing the process flow to fabricate it in a fast, cost-competitive fashion. New technology models that can minimize risk, protect IP, and maximize business opportunities are critical to success. Another aspect is the application of the knowledge we’re acquiring as a result of working with more than 150 companies, a variety of consortia, vertical teams, and partnerships to different industries (biotech,
