About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a $9.66 million definitive contract to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation for ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors research and development on August 9, 2024, under cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing with no set-aside.
Work is performed in Redondo Beach, California. The originating solicitation, posted September 29, 2023, sought proposals under Broad Agency Announcement HR001123S0051 to develop foundational ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor materials and electrical contacts across two technical areas: large-diameter, low-defect substrates and device layers, junctions, and contact resistance. Performance targets include substrate defect density below 1×10⁴ cm⁻², doping efficiency exceeding 90%, and diode characteristics with thermal conductivity of 300 W/m-K, breakdown field of 10 MV/cm, and cutoff frequency of 100 GHz. The contract ceiling is $9.66 million with ultimate completion scheduled for October 8, 2027.
Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, the Space Systems Division of Northrop Grumman Corporation, performs under NAICS 541712 and PSC Y1P (physical science research and development for defense technologies). The company engages subcontractors including Corporate Computer Centers, Inc., a woman-owned small business providing computer hardware, electronics, and technical services; the University of Wisconsin-Madison, conducting research and development in physical and engineering sciences; and Fraunhofer USA, Inc., specializing in advanced materials research and diamond technologies.
