About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation a $20.5 million definitive contract on November 6, 2023, for the MINITHERMS3D program, with performance scheduled through September 30, 2025. The contract, structured as a cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangement with no set-aside designation, is being performed at Northrop Grumman's facility in Linthicum Heights, Maryland. MINITHERMS3D aims to revolutionize thermal management for three-dimensional heterogeneous integration by significantly reducing thermal resistances both within and external to 3D stacks while increasing volumetric heat removal capacity. This advanced research initiative addresses critical thermal challenges in next-generation semiconductor packaging and integration technologies.
General Electric Company, through its GE Research division, was awarded a subcontract on February 22, 2024, to support research and development in physical and engineering sciences. As a major industrial conglomerate with extensive federal contracting experience in advanced materials, electronics, and engineering solutions, GE brings complementary technological capabilities to the thermal management innovation effort. The collaborative effort between Northrop Grumman and GE leverages their respective expertise in defense electronics and advanced research to deliver breakthrough thermal management solutions that support DARPA's strategic objectives in microelectronics innovation and heterogeneous integration technology advancement.
