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 than what is currently commercially available and integrate them with readout components, leveraging the manufacturability benefits of silicon CMOS technology. The sensor has applications relevant to NASA's Earth and planetary sciences and heliophysics missions. This Phase I SBIR contract is set aside for small businesses.
