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. Aluminum-Nitride Infrared Window Materials for High Heat Load Applications

    SBC: AP Materials            Topic: N/A

    Feasibility of fabricating IR window materials from aluminum nitride (AlN) will be demonstrated. Aluminum nitride windows are sought as replacements for sapphire windows on high speed seeker missiles because of their higher thermal shock resistance. Our approach is to consolidate high-purity ultrafine powders of AlN to obtain a nanocrystalline window. Small grain size is expected to minimi ...

  2. Unique Selected Area Deposition o Copper Onto Aluminum for Multichip Module Applications

    SBC: Brewer Science Incorporated            Topic: N/A

    The inability to deposit copper directly onto aluminum is a longstanding problem in microelectronic manufacturing. Presently, aluminum must be coated with a barrier layer such as TiN to promote copper adhesion and provide good electrical contact between the two metals. This work will demonstrate a nonaqueous galvanic process for selectively depositing a highly adherent copper coating directly o ...

  3. Bottom Anti-Reflective Coatings (BARCs) for 193 nm Lithography

    SBC: Brewer Science Incorporated            Topic: N/A

    A long-standing trend in the integrated circuit industry is to reduce pattern geometries on semiconductor substrates. To continue this trend, the next exposure wavelength after on-going deep-ultraviolet (248 nm) will be 193 nm. This SBIR Phase I program will identify and develop thermosetting bottom anti-reflective coatings (BARCs) meeting requirements for use with 193 nm unilayer resists. A serie ...

  4. Development of Uncooled Microbolometer Arrays for IR Imaging

    SBC: Brewer Science Incorporated            Topic: N/A

    Ion-implanted, thin polymer films exhibit a large temperature coefficient of resistance which suggests their application in microbolometer arrays used for infrared ( IR) imaging and temperature mapping. Compared to current microbolometer designs which require a series of difficult deposition steps, an ion-implanted polymer-based device requires only a single layer which can be applied by spin coat ...

  5. Chemical Chara and Monitoring System (PMCMS)

    SBC: Deposition Research Lab            Topic: N/A

    This proposal describes Phase I of a research and development program to develop and commercialize a compact, affordable Particulate Matter on-line, Real-time, Physical and Chemical Characterization and Monitoring System (PMCMS), that will quickly and accurately analyze the chemical constituents and size distribution of particulate emissions from Air Force Operations. The PMCMS will provide size ...

  6. Development of a Low Cost Process to Provide Improved Carbon Fiber-Vinyl Ester Adhesion

    SBC: DUKE & ASSOC.            Topic: N/A

    Duke & Associates will develop a process/material modification for carbon fiber/vinyl ester composite materials which will provide enhanced fiber-matrix adhesion using a low cost, room temperature process such as resin transfer molding (RTM) or vacuum assisted RTM to manufacture high performance composite structures. The program goal is to increase the fiber to matrix strength to that of carbon e ...

  7. Integrated Substrate and Thin-film Design Methods

    SBC: IMAGINATION ENGINES, INC.            Topic: N/A

    A recently patented connectionist paradigm, called the hine hose of thin film growth and removal. Trained by exposure to cumulative experimental data, this paradigm may autonomously compute processing routes toward specifically targeted end goals. In the case of thin film growth and removal, the Creativity Machine ma ...

  8. Portable Auditory Diagnostic System

    SBC: Kedly, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    Kedley Incorporated proposes to develop a prototype portable auditory diagnostic device capable of implementing 5 major auditory diagnostic tests including pure-tone audiometry, speech audiometry, tympanometry, distortion product otoacoustic emissions, and evoked auditory brainstem potentials. These tests are now implemented with 4 separate, large and combersome devices that often share the same ...

  9. Mems-Based, Reconfigurable, Fault-Tolerant Optical Backplan

    SBC: Minmax Technologies            Topic: N/A

    Backplanes are key building blocks around which larger electronic systems are often implemented. They are designed so that the insertion of application derived function boards can use backplane paths for board-to-board communication. As systems grow, requiring more, higher-bandwidth paths, electronic backplanes are becoming inadequate and, for example, pin limitations have become a severe design c ...

  10. Alternative Heating Technology for Thermoplastic Composites and Adhesive Bond Processing

    SBC: PRODUCTION PRODUCTS MANUFACTURING & SALES CO., INC.            Topic: N/A

    Production Products will develop microwave/RF heating or other directed energy heating techniques for the processing of thermoplastic composites and adhesive bonds with the support of our subcontractor Southern Research Institute and our aerospace mentor McDonnell Douglas Aerospace. Use of directed energy to heat only the polymer in the composite or the bond line eliminates the need for exp ...
