This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to Microlink Devices Inc., a minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American-owned small business manufacturer. The $125,000 firm-fixed-price contract is for the development of a technology to enable the manufacture of high-efficiency (>40%), quadruple-junction solar cells on lightweight germanium (Ge) substrates. The key innovation is the use of a new semiconductor alloy, InGaAsN, as the 1.18...

This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by NASA's Ames Research Center to Firefly Technologies, a woman-owned small business, for the development of a wide-bandgap gap-based space solar cell capable of efficient operation at temperatures above 300°C. The objective is to enhance the efficiency of the solar cell by introducing InGaP quantum wells within the active region, enabling the harvesting of low-energy photons that are normally lost. Successful...

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI), a small business, was awarded a $124,932 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop new solar cells based on a ferroelectric semiconductor absorber material.
