Sai microelectronics (now minority owner of Silex AB subsidiary) briefing on 4/2 with very interesting Q&A re: MEMS-OCS which seemed >50% of questions. -Silex AB MEMS-OCS business "booming" -As expected supply chain highly confidential -Reasons for divest very clear #SILEX $LITE $P4O

$6442.TW / EZconn is interesting. They own >15% of IntelliEpi and ~26.71% of AuthenX. This puts them in a strong position to deliver end-to-end CPO solutions. CPO ELS modules expected later this year. Keeping it brief for the moment, but more to come. Company is not cheap, but has executed very well in the past few years from what I can tell. NFA, I have a position (relatively small sizing for now as I dig more into it)

@KairosPraxis Unfortunately not. I do things the slow, manual way...lots of wading through noise...lots of dead ends

My tools are my own 10 fingers. Hopefully that's compliant with the user agreement? But taking the notice as a compliment

@pennycheck You could be right. Nike certainly not above chasing the latest gimmick... even when it is incredibly stupid

@D27357 @vlmkapital @jukan05 Both at the The iTGV2026 Wuxi Glass Substrate Conference (International Through Glass Via Technology Innovation and Application Forum) along with a lot of other big names

@D27357 @vlmkapital @jukan05 Yes, well aware of this. Multi-layered, but LPKF and PlanOptik are pals. P4O is not interested in selling machinery and 4jet has deemphasized selling machinery for VLIS. For P4O whether VLIS or LIDE they use the best tool for the component they are producing for the customer

The CEO of $LPK, the glass substrate equipment company I’ve been closely watching lately, just had his interview video uploaded on the Korean media outlet The Elec. What really stood out to me was that China is copying LPFK's IP exactly to produce the same equipment, and the company is now preparing a lawsuit against them lol.

@D27357 @vlmkapital @jukan05 P4O is a glass foundry. VLIS was them solutioning around a better process for the carrier wafers (thru-holes needed for carriers for chemical debond) and components where metallized glass channels (as in TGV) are needed. I have examples of these...will post at some point

@elpistollero_ Although speculative, hard to overstate this connection. BTE advertises AR coating above all others and the first bullet is the highly relevant AR coating for optical windows.

𝗔𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗹 Point intrigant : PlanOptik est situé juste à côté de BTE Optical Coatings. Pourquoi c’est intéressant ? Parce que les composants photoniques / MEMS nécessitent souvent : • coatings antireflet • revêtements diélectriques • traitements optiques de précision Un écosystème local intégré peut représenter un vrai avantage industriel.

𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗸 : 𝗨𝗻𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗽 𝗰𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲́𝗲 𝗮𝘂 𝗰œ𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝘂 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 ? Plus je creuse le dossier, plus je pense que le marché sous-estime potentiellement la profondeur technologique de PlanOptik. Avec ~40M€ de capitalisation seulement, la société semble exposée à plusieurs briques critiques du packaging avancé, des MEMS optiques et de la photonique. À l’heure où l’industrie des semi-conducteurs cherche à repousser les limites du packaging traditionnel, les glass core substrates émergent comme une solution de nouvelle génération pour améliorer densité d’interconnexion, stabilité thermique, performance haute fréquence et intégration 3D. De plus en plus d’acteurs du secteur investissent dans cette transition, faisant du verre un matériau stratégique pour les architectures semi next-gen. Voici pourquoi le dossier devient difficile à ignorer 👇

@upand_right @vlmkapital What you want first and foremost is end to end yields to make mass production of glass core substrates a before 2030 thing.

@upand_right @vlmkapital NFA, but my pov is IF you believe in the market these companies are going after then pick the ones that have been a part of deep collaborative R&D such as LPKF, E&R, P4O. Competition is not the key focus today, it's viability and timeline

$LPK Explicit mention of LIDE in an Intel CPO patent published in 2023! It seems that LIDE is used for the TGVs here, which are later restructured to fit an optical waveguide. And in the SPIE 2026 paper with Fraunhofer IZM essentially the same process is demonstrated, with LIDE being used for the TGVs. The LPKF CEO says that they eventually want to offer the writing of optical waveguides into glass via laser processes. The SPIE 2026 paper says that this is the next development step. Really wanna see if they are progressing on this Need to do some further digging

$LPKF $LPK.DE $LPKFF $LPK Seems that LPKF has been working with Intel on their exclusive CPO partnership since 2023? The first disclosure about it was in late 2025 (probably because that's when CPO became a hot topic), so I thought it was a newer thing. So they've already been developing this for years? They seem to be in an extremely strong position here, and the CEO's own language that they are looking to become a major strategic partner makes more sense now. No idea how I missed this initially "We are already working, since more than 2 years, with a semiconductor partner from the US in exclusive development on the topic of co-packaged optics" Resource for inference and the CEO language in the comments
