View moreThe U.S. Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground, Research Triangle Park Division, on behalf of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL), is soliciting proposals for the Silicon Carbide (SiC) Low Cost Power Switches (LCPS) program. This applied research effort focuses on device designs and high-yield fabrication processes to enable low-cost commercial production of SiC power switches, utilizing virtual foundry architectures and existing silicon foundry capacity. The program aims to advance U.S. capabilities in high-power density, high-temperature, and high-efficiency semiconductor switches, specifically seeking the development of SiC power MOSFETs with blocking voltages greater than 1.2 kV, current ratings over 10 A, and a unit cost of less than $0.25/A.
This solicitation is issued as a combined synopsis/solicitation under the ARL Core Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for Basic and Applied Scientific Research for Fiscal Years 2012 through 2017, identified by solicitation number W911NF12R0011. The opportunity is categorized under NAICS code 541712 for Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology) and PSC code A for Research and Development. Approximately $3,000,000.00 is available to fund up to two cooperative agreements with performance periods between twelve and eighteen months. Recipients are expected to provide matching funds of at least 25%, and no federal funds may be used for equipment purchases.
Proposals must be submitted by 11:59 PM EST on March 17, 2014, to be eligible for the available funding. Selected recipients will work collaboratively with ARL scientists to plan and execute research, with ARL providing technical expertise and evaluating fabricated devices against Army-specific circuit stresses. The primary point of contact for this notice is Kathryn McManus. One attachment, providing the ARL BAA web page, was published with the original notice on June 4, 2012.
