Big Nano electroc-eramics also enable passive components including resistors, induc-tors, and capacitors to be integrated into semiconductors without damaging the transistors embedded beneath their surface.We also developed a key application that solves a major part of the management problem associated with transistors. The ap-plication allows seamless switching of large currents at any speed without generating excessive heat as a result of the inductance embedded to offset the capacitance of a very large area. The al-tered computing architecture allows you to get rid of printed circuit boards completely and replace them with semiconductor carriers integrated with power management capabilities. Last year, we also came up with applications for chip stacking on a wafer, resulting in frequencies as high as 20 GHz as opposed to 2.5-3 GHz for the chip on a printed circuit board. We can integrate many more mate-rials into wafers along with producing passive components that are driven by quantum properties and not some solid-state properties.Darlene: Our focus is mostly on delivering complex material products with superior electrical and mechanical properties while constantly upholding the commercial usability of these products. We intend to revolutionize both power dissipation and package technologies with these products.What type of clients do you target and cater to the most?de Rochemont: Primarily, we are finalizing a partnership that will apply our technology in the military space so we can form interna-tional relationships in commercial markets. Also, beyond the scope of microelectronics, our technology can be applied to the pipeline sector. Anti-corrosive and damage-resistant pipelines with a high electric conductivity can reduce the percentage of spills to a great extent. Furthermore, we are planning to extend the applications of our technology to the aerospace industry. Since most of the fuel is consumed during an aircraft's take-off, electrically powered take-offs can profit the aerospace industry significantly. We are working on developing high-energy density capacitors for the same purpose.What are the factors that set Frontier NanoSystems apart from its competitors?Darlene: Although the area of radically new materials remains unexplored, we are bringing in new materials, enhancing their properties, and supplying them to companies around the world. Above all, Big Nano is our key differentiating factor, which has made nanotechnology useful on a broader scale. We also got recognized by Red Herring, two years ago, and this year, they have invited us to their award ceremony.How does the company's roadmap for the next couple of years look like?de Rochemont: One of the first products we plan to introduce is a capacitor that polarizes at high speeds. The next important development will be an embedded inductor with enormous resistivity to reduce the losses in power management systems. Also, we look forward to enhancing the computing capabilities of all our offerings in order to prepare them for the future.
