Raytheon awarded US$6.5 Million for hybrid silicon compound semiconductors
The Office of Naval Research has awarded Raytheon Company a US$6.5 million contract to develop affordable, high-performance semiconductor integrated circuits for electronic-driven military systems.
The Office of Naval Research has awarded Raytheon Company a US$6.5 million contract to develop affordable, high-performance semiconductor integrated circuits for electronic-driven military systems.
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is funding the contract as part of its Compound Semiconductor Materials on the Silicon (COSMOS) program.
A Raytheon led team will integrate high-performance compound semiconductors with low-cost commercial complementary metal oxide semiconductor silicon wafers, achieving superior cost-benefit performance. The objective is to develop a high-resolution analog-to-digital converter with low power consumption.
This program goes significantly beyond the specific objective. The processes lead to advanced low-cost analog and digital, microwave and millimeter-wave integrated circuits with applications for next-generation radar, communications and electronic warfare systems.
