Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), single and multi-walled, have very high thermal conductivity and are natural choices to increase teffective thermal conductivity of thermal interface materials (TIMs). However, they have high interfacial thermal resistances of CNT at the base (seed) and at the heat sink end.… More

PrivaTran proposes the use of newly-developed manufacturing methods that convert materials commonly found in conventional integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing into memristor devices with increased packing density and an advanced, three-dimensional (3D) architecture. The memristor devices can be… More

PrivaTran proposes to develop a semi-active laser (SAL) receiver read-out integrated circuit (ROIC) which, when integrated with a government furnished equipment (GFE) sensor array, will provide an advanced dual-band SAL receiver system. Systems with 16x16 detector elements coupled with the PrivaTran… More

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will further develop a two-terminal, electronically-programmable, nonvolatile memory array using materials commonly found in integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing. Each element is smaller than a single transistor and is formed using standard IC… More

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will further develop a two-terminal, electronically-programmable, nonvolatile memory array using materials commonly found in integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing. Each element is smaller than a single transistor and is formed using… More

Integrated circuits in NASA spacecraft and vehicle electronics must operate over large temperature extremes and mitigate radiation effects that can result in upset and/or destruction of devices. PrivaTran has previously demonstrated a two-terminal, electronically-programmable resistor as a… More

PrivaTran proposes to develop a Wavefront/ Wavefunction Sensor 3D Imaging high resolution SCA (Sensor Chip Assembly) for use in coherent 3D imaging of long range targets for Space Situation Awareness (SSA) through turbulent atmosphere. The Wavefront/ Wavefunction Sensor will be composed of a sensor… More
