TLC has developed an innovative multi-component radiation hard InP HEMT based chip approach that will provide monolithic digital,millimter-wave and photnic functions for airborne, spaceborne and other military systems. During phase I we demonstrated lattice engineering, epi growth, design and device fabriction capabilities that resulted in high performance electronic and photonic devices using I ...

This project addresses the USDA's first strategic goal, which is to Assist Rural Communities to Create Prosperity by addressing rural healthcare. The care of chronically ill, technology-dependent children at their homes in rural communities can have a significant impact on the cost and quality of health services. The project develops technology for the early intervention of fragile patients, w ...

InP-based devices have applications encompassing the entire communication technology including wireless and fiber-optic telecommunications. It is especially suitable for very high frequency (up to 200GHz) operation. Therefore they are increasingly a critical component in all military missions. Their manufacturing costs are high in large part due the high cost of InP substrates, and their much smal ...

The DoD faces mounting costs for integrated circuits built with advanced technology. Our proposal addresses mixed-signal ASIC design costs and fabrication costs, notably photomask costs and photolithography costs. The ADONIS 1D design methodology has been demonstrated at technologies ranging from 130nm to 16nm. In Phase I of the program, we used ADONIS to design a reference circuit a high-speed c ...

Magneto-Thermal MRAM uses both heat and magnetic field (current)to overcome thermal instabilities of very small memory cells. Self-generated heat in the cell raises the temperature of magnetic material in the cell above the exchange ordering temperature of the magnetic material (either ferromagnetic or anti-ferromagnetic). Magneto-Thermal MRAM is compatible with advances in photolithography down t ...

Thermal batteries are single discharge reserve batteries that provide very long shelf life, minimal self-discharge, wide storage temperature range, fast thermal activation under power demand, and wide range of operating and storage temperature conditions. We are proposing development and optimization of novel anode and cathode materials and demonstration of advanced thermal batteries (TB) that sig ...
