ntegran Technologies Inc. (CA) received a repayable government investment of $399,386. In March


2012, Toronto-based Integran has licensed its nano Cobalt electroplating process (Nanovate™ CoP) to Montreal-based Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. (PWCC) for deployment as an alternative to hard chromium electroplating in gas turbine power plant applications for aerospace use.


Integran’s nanotechnology can be used to replace existing hard chromium plating processes known to cause adverse health effects ranging from lung cancer to skin ulcerations. The highly efficient Nanovate™ CoP coating process avoids these health issues and Integran‘s next-generation metal alloys are more robust and free from toxic beryllium copper.

Corporation (NASDAQ: KOPN) announced that record results from gallium nitride (GaN)-


based high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) materials have been published. The advanced GaN- based materials developed at Kopin and described in a study in APL are important for improving per- formance of next-generation power amplifiers and power switching converters.


The APL-article describes the use of indium gallium nitride (InGaN) as the conducting layer in HEMT structures grown on sapphire and silicon carbide sub- strates. The use of an InGaN channel layer (instead of GaN) has the benefit of providing a back-channel barrier for better electron confinement, which is important for deep sub-micron gate length devices to achieve ultra-high-frequency operation.
