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. Breakthrough Unit Cost Reduction for Large Image Sensors

    SBC: Silicon Mountain Design, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    The need for larger, faster and higher-resolution imager chips at low cost has become more acute as image processing and optical systems improve. However, monolithic imagers having large pixel numbers are fabricated with difficulty at low yield and high cost. This proposal is directed to defect correction for high resolution imagers, in the visible, IR and UV ranges, in order to dramatically incr ...

  2. Controlled Oxide Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers with Lateral Oxidation Barriers

    SBC: PICOLIGHT, INC.            Topic: N/A

    This proposal describes a fabrication-intensive program to determine the feasibility of fabricating oxide vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (oxide VCSELs) whose unoxidized current apertures comprise lateral oxidation barriers. Although oxide VCSELs have spectacular performances (50% wallplug efficiency, etc.) their manufacturability is questionable since the oxidation process forming the cur ...

  3. High Efficiency Floating Junction Gallium Arsenide Solar Cell

    SBC: ASTROPOWER, INC.            Topic: N/A

    AstroPower proposes to develop a new ultra-thin gallium arsenide solar cell for space applications, that will result in significantly higher performance compared to conventional gallium arsenide and silicon solar cells. This design incorporates a "floating" junction on the front of the ultra-thin solar cell and a collecting junction at the back of the device. This design will significantly decreas ...

  4. Long-Wavelength Oxide Vertical-Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers

    SBC: PICOLIGHT, INC.            Topic: N/A

    This proposal describes an experimental program to determine the feasibility of fabricating long-wavelength (>1.3um) oxide vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). It addresses the two most inhibiting difficulties in fabricating practical long-wavelength VCSELs: 1) Use of oxidized layers in the bottom mirror results in a mirror thickness reduction from ~7um to

  5. Wide-Angle Resonant Cavities for Superior Light Emitters

    SBC: PICOLIGHT, INC.            Topic: N/A

    This proposal describes a program to determine the feasibility of forming an entirely new class of optical structures: wide-angle resonant cavities (WARCs). A WARC-structured light emitting diode would have "laser-like" high efficiency and modulation speeds. A WARC-structured vertical cavity laser would have low threshold currents and extremely high speeds. The device characteristics sought are si ...
