About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a $7.49 million definitive contract to Sri International for the Heterogenous Adaptively Produced Photonic Interfaces (HAPPI) program on March 13, 2025, under cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing with no set-aside.
The HAPPI program seeks to achieve a 1000x increase in information transmission density within microsystems by exploiting photonic signaling. The work focuses on developing and executing processes for alignment and bonding of photonic integrated circuit chips to integrate four discrete photonic integrated circuit chips with optical interconnects between them. Technical requirements include optical loss per link less than 1 dB, link arrays up to 1,000 x 1,000 channels, operation within a 400–1800 nm wavelength range, and a minimum of four waveguide layers per chip. Place of performance is Menlo Park, CA.
The contract runs through December 13, 2026. Nhanced Semiconductors, Inc. serves as subcontractor, providing specialized semiconductor packaging and assembly expertise. The originating solicitation, posted September 10, 2024, with proposals due November 6, 2024, anticipated multiple awards from a $30 million total HAPPI program investment and was open to both U.S. and non-U.S. sources. The program was structured in two 18-month phases: initial feasibility demonstration followed by array density and manufacturability validation.
