SIMOX (Separation by IMplanted Oxygen) technology achieves total dielelectric isolation of active device regions from the substrate and reduces the collection path for ionized charges via the built-in buried oxide which restricts charge movement. Advances in SIMOX technology include radiation hardened memories and gate arrays for space applications, ULSI DRAMS for low voltage operation, thin film ...

Lexitek proposes to develop an imaging gamma-ray detector with 1024 x 1024 pixels for arms control verification. The proposed detector significantly enhances the resolution of fissionable material distribution without compromising energy resolution. The detector consists of a scintillating crystal and associated sensors which determine the energy and position of the scintillation with high spat ...

An optical sensor capable of producing 3-dimensional time resolved density maps characteristic of shock wavefronts at Mhz sampling rates is proposed. Each map is obtained from simultaneous measurements obtained with a novel refractometer capable of measuring integrated density fluctuations in air to better than 1 part in 3500 per centimeter path length at 1Mhz with good signal to noise (S/N=10). ...

Aspen Systems proposes to develop high dielectric constant (K), low loss tellurium polymers to meet the design objectives of high energy density capacitors. In the proposed Phase I program we will apply rigorous computational chemical techniques to predict the properties of this new class of polymers. We will attempt the synthesis of the parent polymer of the tellurium family, fabricate films for ...

THE BUILT-IN BURIED OXIDE OF SIMOX SOI MATERIAL HAS PROMOTED RECENT ADVANCES IN RADIATION-HARDENED, AEROSPACE, AUTOMTIVE, AND COMMUNICATIONS APPLICATIONS. A SIGNIFCANT ISSUE RELATED TO THE USE OF SIMOX TECHNOLOGY IS THE CAPABILITY OF THE SI AND BURIED OXIDE LAYERS TO SUPPORT ADBANCED CMOS AND BIPOLAR CIRCUITRY. RECENT TECHNIQUES FOR SILICON AND BURIED OXIDE DEFECT DENSITY MEASUREMENTS SHOW THAT FU ...

A DYNAMIC SCENE PROJECTION SYSTEM IS PROPOSED WHICH CAN SIMULATE MULTI-SPECTRAL SCENES IN THE ULTRAVIOLET, VISIBLE, AND NEAR-THROUGH LONG-WAVE INFRARED WAVELENGTH BANDS. IT IS BASED ON ALIGHT VALVE TECHNOLOGY WHICH USES CRT ELECTRNICS TO DRIVA A DENSE ARRAY OF DEFORMABLE MIRRORS. THIS LIGHT VALVE, CALLED AN ELECTRON BEAM-ADDRESSED MEMBRANCE MIRROR LIGHT MODULATOR (EMLM), IS A MATURING TECHNOLOGY W ...
