Basic Research into Next Generation Nitride-based Thin Films to Enable Domestic Manufacturing of Microelectronics for Harsh Environments
Abstract
Modern defense forces utilize a greater number and variety of electronics at all operational levels than ever before, with sensors, communications equipment, GPS, computing, and power systems spanning a wide range of missions, locations, and requirements. It is thus imperative that the microelectronic components in critical systems be able to operate reliably, effectively, and securely even in inhospitable environments such as those with high temperature or corrosive conditions. It is also crucial that the U.S. has a skilled and qualified workforce capable of producing such microelectronics domestically and within a trusted supply chain.
