Completed TRL 5 (started at 2, targeting 5)
We will integrate a microheater as an on-chip in-situ annealing functional block into the unused backside of the COTS chip. The radiation degradation will be monitored, and the microheater will be triggered, as needed, to anneal out the defects. Next steps include submitting a NIAC and GCDP proposal.
Our technology will benefit all space missions since electronics plays pivotal role in the operation, control, execution of the science missions, payload etc.
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 5) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.
None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
