first of all Kryotech's tech is -40 degrees... I am assuming that you know that...that is what this is... IMG bought in in a vague way a few years ago and HAS NOT entered ANY products yet... Q4: Do you plan to cool CMOS devices to temperatures colder than -40C? A4: Eventually, yes. We are completing a contract with the DARPA and the US Naval Research Lab to evolve our basic technology to temperatures to in the range of 150K (minus 123C). We are performing this work in conjunction with our refrigeration partner, MMR Technologies, Inc. At this low temperature, the performance of standard CMOS devices roughly doubles. Additional performance gains can be achieved by optimizing the semiconductor fabrication process and design for low temperature operation. We also recently launched a strategic alliance with Intermagnetics General Corporation whereby we serve as the exclusive marketing and sales agent for IGC's low temperature refrigeration technology as applied to computer chip cooling. A significant amount of research, development and testing must be completed before we will be able to offer commercial products operating at these low temperatures. However, we believe the payback in terms of computer performance will be profound. The progress with IMG hasn't appeared to have gone any further than it had 1 year ago... I appreciate your enthusiasm...but facts do count.
