This is a two-year grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) for $868,625.00 to further advance the scientific capabilities of monolithic CMOS detectors for use as X-ray imaging spectrometers. The grant will build upon progress from a previous award that ended in 2013, during which SAO and SRI-Sarnoff developed and tested X-ray optimized, highly versatile, monolithic CMOS imaging detectors. This new proposal will investigate existing NMOS...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology awarded a $353,600 firm fixed price purchase order to Dectris USA Inc. to deliver a megapixel photon-counting x-ray camera. The camera will support research at NIST's Quantum Sensors Group, meeting specifications including an active sensor area over 40 square centimeters capable of detecting x-rays from 6-15 keV at over 100,000 photons per second per pixel. A Linux-based server to support camera readout is also required. There was no set-aside...

This federal grant award to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) aims to scale up their existing 50mm cross-strip (XS) photon counting ultraviolet (UV) detector technology to a larger 100x100mm format. The grant, valued at $973,962.28, is funded by NASA and is part of their "Development of Large Area (100x100 mm) Photon Counting UV Detectors" program. The goal is to raise the technology readiness level (TRL) of the XS detector from 4 to 6, which includes testing the...

This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract awarded by NASA to Structured Materials Industries, Inc. (SMI), a for-profit manufacturer of advanced materials, optics, electronics, and photonics. Under this $750,000 Firm Fixed Price contract, SMI and its partners are developing ultraviolet (UV) photo detection devices with high sensitivity, low noise, and fast response time. The technical approach is based on nanowires of the wide band gap semiconductor ZnMgO, which will...

This $103,500.00 firm-fixed-price contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Center to Micron Semiconductor LIMITED, a for-profit limited liability company and manufacturer of goods, to provide 40 millimeter in diameter, 1500 micron thick solid state particle detectors. The contract has an ultimate completion date of May 10, 2017 and did not utilize a small business set-aside. Micron Semiconductor LIMITED has previously provided specialized...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) awarded a $83,000.64 firm-fixed-price purchase order to Direct Conversion AB, a subsidiary of Varex Imaging Corporation, for the procurement of 1 XC-THOR FX30 X-ray detector, air cooled, with power supply unit and cables. This detector will be used by the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health to support their research and development efforts in breast imaging technologies, including mammography, digital breast tomosynthesis, and breast...

This federal contract award to Coolcad Electronics, Inc. is from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The $125,000 firm-fixed-price contract is for the design and fabrication of a large-area silicon-carbide (SiC) based active pixel sensor. This sensor will comprise a very large-area SiC ultraviolet (UV) photodiode with a monolithically-integrated readout circuit. The objective is to develop SiC photodiodes larger...
