Electronics & semiconductors: open SBIR/STTR topics
19 open or upcoming topics mention electronics & semiconductors, across 2 agencies. Matched by keywords in the topic title and description.
Defect Metrology and Charge Trapping Dynamics in Transfer-Doped Diamond Transistors
Hydrogen-terminated (surface-channel) diamond transistors hold great promise for next-generation, high-frequency, high-power RF electronics and advanced communications due to diamond's high breakdown field and superior thermal conductivity.
Low Noise & Low-SWaP High-Repetition Rate Mode-Locked Lasers for High-Speed Photonics
Mode-locked semiconductor lasers can support high repetition rates up to 100 GHz due to the high gain and fast gain recovery unlike in fiber lasers or doped dielectric gain medium lasers.
Monolithic Graphene–CMOS Broadband (UV-LWIR) Focal Plane Arrays for target detection in low-light conditions
The Navy continues to field multiple seeker technologies to detect, identify and engage targets in multi-domain operations through obscurants. However, you cannot detect something you cannot see.
Novel Radio Frequency Sensing Technologies
Detecting and mapping deep subsurface mineral deposits typically requires localized or low-altitude operations.
Resilient Integrated Photonic Transport In Denied Environments (RIPTIDE)
Future autonomous operations will occur in contested electromagnetic environments where traditional positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) references cannot be assumed.
Scalable Hard-mask materials with Improved Etch resistance and Low Degradation for Extreme-aspect-Ratio fabrication (SHIELDER)
Next-generation defense-relevant microsystem technologies, such as 3D integrated circuits, high-density memory arrays, MEMS inertial sensors and RF filters, and integrated photonic devices, rely on the precise manufacturing of extreme high-aspect-ratio features within a chip [1-3].
