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. High efficiency vertical photoconductive semiconductor switches (PCSS)

    SBC: NANOHMICS INC            Topic: DMEA231005

    Vertical Photoconductive Semiconductor Switches can be designed to support numerous filaments that simultaneously conduct current. A two dimensional array of current channels can be lithographically patterned on the surface of a substrate to achieve significant power scaling. One of the challenged is coupling the optical trigger signal efficiently into the filament apertures. Nanohmics will desig ...

  5. Intelligent Ultrafast Laser System for Inspection of Microelectronics

    SBC: AEROCYONICS, INC.            Topic: DMEA192002

    Detecting counterfeit electronics is an important area of rising concern for DOD, other federal agencies and the private sector. The advent of cloned chips has called for development of new inspection tools that are capable of inspecting microelectronics down to the nanometer length scale. The state-of-the-art technology in Microscopy currently lacks a one-size-fits-all microelectronics inspection ...

  6. Robust Electronic eSIM DNA Sequencer to Detect Counterfeit Electronics

    SBC: NANOHMICS INC            Topic: DMEA201001

    DMEA seeks to develop a robust technique to read DNA taggants from labeled electronic components to protect the electronic supply chain from counterfeiting. To address this need, Nanohmics Inc. proposes to develop an on-chip Sanger-based ion mobility sequencing technology (eSIM) with novel direct electrical read-out of the DNA sequence information. Specifically, the method involves incorporation o ...
