The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY24 is not expected to be complete until March, 2025.

Download all SBIR.gov award data either with award abstracts (290MB) or without award abstracts (65MB). A data dictionary and additional information is located on the Data Resource Page. Files are refreshed monthly.

The SBIR.gov award data files now contain the required fields to calculate award timeliness for individual awards or for an agency or branch. Additional information on calculating award timeliness is available on the Data Resource Page.

  1. Synthesizable Register Transfer Logic (RTL) Assertions

    SBC: EDAPTIVE COMPUTING INC            Topic: DMEA221001

    Verification and validation (V&V) of ICs have become progressively difficult as design complexity, the reuse of third-party intellectual property, and malicious attacks on microelectronics have all increased. Given these challenges, the DoD needs automated, user-friendly post-synthesis verification and validation solutions to assure its critical hardware systems. To address this need, ECI presents ...

  2. Novel Manufacturing Process for Advanced Low-Cost High-Power Epitaxy Silicon Switches

    SBC: RADIATION DETECTION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: DMEA231D01

    Currently, the US has limited production facilities for opening switches, e.g., DSRDs, which are manufactured with very outdated manufacturing methods and technology, e.g., based on deep diffusion of dopants into a thinned silicon wafer. The goal of this effort is to develop scaled manufacturing processes, manufacture batch quantities, and enable high-volume manufacturing of semiconductor opening ...

  3. 2nd Phase II Radiation Shielding (SI Technologies)

    SBC: SI2 TECHNOLOGIES, INC            Topic: MDA17012

    SI2 Technologies, Inc. (SI2) proposes to develop 3D-printed for spacecraft microelectronics. Leveraging SI2’s extensive additive manufacturing experience, SI2’s low-SWaP, low-cost shielding will be designed to protect both unmounted and board-mounted microelectronics. This approach will accommodate multiple types and sizes of semiconductor packages, including 484 ball Fine Pitch Ball Grid Arra ...

  4. Supply Chain Development of Thick SiC Epi-Wafers and 20 kV Class Transistors

    SBC: MAINSTREAM ENGINEERING CORP            Topic: DMEA231D02

    SiC IGBT devices remain restricted from achieving higher voltage operation due the lack of a supply chain (onshore or otherwise) for thick n-channel epitaxial wafers. Some researchers have reported success in improving SiC to accommodate higher voltage IGBTs. However, commercial exploitation of this knowledge has not occurred due to a much larger market for moderate voltage transistors. Detailed f ...

  5. 20009- Partha

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: 20A001

    Radiation effects in microelectronics are a significant concern for DoD systems that operate at high altitudes or in outer space. Typical characterization efforts focus on macroscale degradation signatures from electrical measurements at device terminals. However, a comprehensive analysis of radiation-induced physical defects is not possible based solely on terminal measurements. CFD Research and ...

  6. Robust DNA Taggant Reader for Electronics Counterfeit Prevention

    SBC: NANOHMICS INC            Topic: DMEA201001

    Defense MicroElectronics Activity (DMEA) seeks to develop a robust technique to sample and read DNA taggants applied to surfaces of microelectronics supply chain components that employs machine learning methods to develop trained models capable of detecting counterfeit microelectronic parts with > 95% accuracy. To address the need for rapid (< 5 minute) genetic taggant signature profiling rooted i ...

  7. High Voltage and Speed SiC MOSFETs through Improved Gate Dielectric Interfaces

    SBC: MAINSTREAM ENGINEERING CORP            Topic: DMEA221D01

    Development of high voltage gated semiconductor device process that leverages the enhanced power handling capability of SiC, and remediates the undesirable effects (threshold voltage instability, increased interface capacitance) associated with native SiO2 growth from commercially available 4H-SiC and 6H-SiC polytypes. The process improvement and resultant performance enhancements gained will be v ...

  8. A TEM-Based Thermal and Electronic Imaging System

    SBC: NANOELECTRONIC IMAGING, INC.            Topic: DMEA192001

    The transmission electron microscope (TEM) is the standard high resolution tool for imaging microelectronics. Despite its impressive sensitivity to physical structure (the type, number, and arrangement of atoms), TEM is remarkably inept at detecting electronic and thermal signals, even when equipped with expensive spectroscopic attachments. Electronic and thermal structure determines device functi ...

  9. Machine Learning Applied to Counterfeit Detection

    SBC: GRAF RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: DMEA192002

    The machine learning for counterfeit detection research program continues the successful Phase 1 feasibility study of applying machine learning to detect FPGA counterfeits. In Phase 1, Graf Research demonstrated the feasibility of implementing a machine learning based counterfeit detection platform for a single FPGA device and representing data characteristic of repackaged counterfeit devices.  T ...
