I do not have any knowledge on Opto-electric component. We want to survey the Opto-electric manufactures. Hence looking for a check list or at guide lines to survey them effectively. I can do that only if I know the critical process areas. Any help in this direction will be highly appreciated. re, ken patel >> Hi Ken! Joyce Koo (sorry Joyce) is going to be the guru on this stuff...give her some time to get settled though. May turn out though, that this stuff is so new (as to be proprietary, that it will be difficult to learn anything from anybody else)...it may turn out to be trial and error.
