Grants and Contributions

About this information

In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.

The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.

Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Agreement:

Engineering Study - Optical Power Integration System for Antenna Array Module

Agreement Number:

1041097

Duration: from Mar 27, 2026 to Mar 26, 2027
Description:

Zinite has developed a specialty n-type thin film transistor with excellent performance suitable for adaptation to work with microwave PCB boards and substrates for compatibility with VCSEL array integration. In turn, this will support high-performance phased-array antenna strucutres suitable for radar and other defence applications.

Agreement:

Thermal Process Reformulation

Agreement Number:

1034931

Duration: from Sep 1, 2025 to Nov 30, 2026
Description:

Revise key fabrication process - currently this is a plasma process, in which the reactant gas enters a remote plasma tube for conversion and the resulting species generated in the plasma then pass into the reactor, reacting with the chemisorbed species. This will be replaced by a thermal process which uses more reactive precursors, to achieve the desired outcomes.

Agreement:

CMOS Back-end Development of TF-Transistor for Image Sensor

Agreement Number:

1009315

Duration: from Aug 1, 2023 to Mar 31, 2025
Description:

The rising demand for high-definition image-capturing devices in various industries has seen CMOS sensor technology witness a high adoption rate, providing high-quality images while delivering faster shutter speeds. The continuous improvements in image sensors is driving the need for new technologies such as die stacking and 3D interconnects. These new technologies are in turn driving the need for back-end-of-line thin film transistors such as those being developed by Zinite Corp.
