GT never exfoliated a part large enough to get an iPhone screen I do not believe. 

Still don't get it yet...do you?

Did you ever figure out what that "thing" was that I sent you the last time?

I know you were only "35 paces from the patent office", but do those guys normally discuss everything at the water cooler with a potential $50MIL fine hanging over their heads?

I once said to you that calling an "old friend" doesn't cut it sometimes, and the compartmentalization within a company is by design.

Once again...a $50MIL fine has a funny way of making people keep their mouth shut!

You-

Ion implantation for strengthening glass (Sapphire) I believe was a side benefit of Hyperion. Ion implantation has been around in the semiconductor manufacturing world for a long time so that is not the issue.

Quack-

GTAT developed ion IMPLANTERS 10 times more powerful than anything on the market for implanting ions into a very hard materials.

So can you show me a link where they are implanting ions into sapphire as a part of semiconductor manufacture?

So the fact that they beefed up the power on Hyperion wouldn't have any influence on this?

Apple does not need Hyperion to implant ions into glass...sapphire or other...to strengthen it. It probably can be done with ion implanters used in the semi industry. Hyperion would have been a "twofer"

I think not.
