Compound Semiconductor Materials On Silicon (COSMOS)

Abstract

(U)The objective of the Compound Semiconductor Materials On Silicon (COSMOS) program is to develop a robust semiconductor fabrication technology and manufacturing process for the intimate integration of multiple types of devices and semiconductor materials. Conventional semiconductor processing is limited to one type of semiconductor but most DoD systems have circuits with multiple types of semiconductor circuits and devices. This program is developing heterogeneous material and device fabrication technologies to allow compound semiconductors to be directly integrated with standard silicon. The high yield fabrication approaches will allow the various materials to be in close proximity. This program is also focusing on innovations in design to ensure that the resulting composite circuits realize superior performance in advanced circuit demonstrations.
