Establish a radiation-aware analysis capability in a commercial EDA design flow that will enable first-pass success in radiation-hardened by design (RHBD) for DoD ASICs in much the same way that existing EDA design suites ensure first pass functionality and performance success of complex ASICs destined for commercial applications. Layout-aware, calibrated single-event radiation models that captur ...

SiC devices are limited in application due to high substrate manufacturing costs. High temperatures are required to make high quality 4H-SiC substrates, limiting throughput and imposing large maintenance costs on equipment. Lowering the process temperature will make SiC devices more economical, but difficulties with maintaining useful growth rates remain; altering CVD gas precursor chemistry alone ...

We propose a mesh network system that can be deployed onto the lunar surface either with or, in advance of a new landing, either crewed or robotic, that can provide the following services: terminal navigation and landing positioning, even in the possible presence of hostile jamming or spoofing; local PNT for astronauts and robots over an area surrounding the landing site; communications relay over ...

We propose to perform customer discovery in Phase I to identify quantum grade single crystal diamond requirements for future Air Force quantum technologies with an aim to extend our state-of-the-art diamond synthesis process to demonstrate prototype quantum grade diamond in Phase II and to establish a domestic supply of quantum grade diamond in Phase III.
