Advanced Integration Interconnection and Fabrication Growth for Domestic SOTA Radio Frequency Gallium Nitride (STARRY NITE) MPW Runs
The Department of the Navy (DoN) is seeking prototype support in the area of Advanced Integration Interconnection and Fabrication Growth for Domestic SOTA Radio Frequency Gallium Nitride (STARRY NITE).
STARRY NITE MPW PROGRAM
As a continuation of the State-of-the-Art Radio Frequency Gallium Nitride (STARRY NITE) program, the OUSD(R&E) Trusted & Assured Microelectronics program is sponsoring the establishment of a mature portfolio of domestic RF GaN foundries, which offers open access to millimeter-wave (mmW) technology and product transition paths into the DoD Advanced Packaging ecosystem.
In order to accelerate innovation and drive affordability in domestic mmW designs, the STARRY NITE program is offering free multi-project wafer (MPW) space on state-of-the-art RF GaN nodes at the awardees foundries: HRL, Northrop Grumman Space Systems, and Qorvo.
Do you have a cutting-edge mmW design that you want to fabricate at a STARRY NITE foundry? If so, submit your proposal today!
