Joint Services Electronics Program
Abstract
This report summarizes the research activity supported by the Joint Services Electronics Program at the Electronics Research Laboratory for the period June 1990 to June 1993. It includes the Director's overview, a listing of principal investigators, degrees awarded to students and a list of publications and presentations. The research was organized into three themes during this period: Quantum Electronic Devices, Semiconductor Electronic Devices, and Neural Networks and Applications. Significant advances were made in all three areas. Under Quantum Electronic Devices considerable progress was made in overcoming the difficulties of realizing surface emitting optoelectronic devices. The novel growth technique of phase-locked epitaxy was developed which allowed for the improvement in control of layer thicknesses and improved performance of lasers. Under Semiconductor Electronic Devices, success was achieved in the deep sub- micron MOSFET program. Careful analysis of the fundamental issues that limit the continuation of the miniaturization of transistors has been an ongoing activity in this program. In the Neural Network and Applications Area, a prominent feature of the program has been the integration between theory and hardware. Revolutionary new architectures and algorithms for neural networks were investigated and tested on real-world applications, with particular attention given to applications of specific DOD interest.
