In the area of supply chain integrity improvement, the US defense and intelligence sectors anticipate multiple uses for the forensic capability to characterize an electronic component for the purpose of identifying the semiconductor fabrication facility w

We propose to develop and deliver a nano-patterned metallic light trap platform that will allow ultra-thin InGaN photovoltaics to exhibit extended lifetime by a factor of four when used in low orbit satellite operations. We will test the enhancement of light absorption in InGaN layers with In fraction of 25% for use as an effective method of realizing radiation ultra-hard solar cells for space-ba ...

In order to maintain our nation’s technological superiority on air, sea and land, we must respond quicker to emerging threats and reduce the cost of major sensing platforms. Every DoD platform developed nowadays contains at least one sensor, whether it be RF, EO/IR, or acoustic. In fact, in a lot of recent developments, the platform is built around the sensor and exists only to support the senso ...

We propose to develop a comprehensive mixed-signal design solution with an IP infrastructure, design methodology and design automation tools to enable the use of regular fabrics and mask re-use. The IP infrastructure will consist of metal-reconfigurable analog/RF templates built on top of the existing PDF Solutions’ pdBrixTM solution. The design methodology will allow designers to achieve perfor ...

Voltage compliant metal-semiconductor field-effect-transistors (MESFETs) provide solutions to critical problems arising from the reduced operating voltage of highly scaled CMOS. This Phase 2 activity will develop MESFET based circuitries that allow high voltage applications to coexist on future, highly scaled low voltage CMOS applications. Our patented MESFET technology will be used to develop bo ...

The proposed phase I research effort will develop a highly efficient MEMS energy harvesters that utilize a novel nanocomposite technology recently developed by Sodano Engineering LLC. Unlike existing piezoelectric nanocomposites, the material proposed here has an electromechanical coupling coefficient higher than the monolithic piezoceramics typically used in MEMS processing. The high coupling i ...

The DARPA Phraselator is a, multilingual phrase translation system. The Phraselator is a rugged, weather resistant, voice-to-voice, translation device with superior audio input and output. It is available to both military and industrial users and more than 2,000 Phraselators have been manufactured and delivered. Because of the significant capabilities of this custom device, the cost is relative ...
