- Description
- RECOVERY ACT - THE NASA GLENN RESEARCH CENTER (GRC) AWARDED UNDER THE AMERICANRECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009 A WORK ORDER FOR TESTING, FACILITIES, OPERATING,MAINTENANCE AND ENGINEERING UNDER THE PREVIOUSLY AWARDED, COMPETITIVE, 8(A) CONTRACTNNC05CA95C WITH SIERRA LOBO INCORPORATED.NASA Glenn Research Center has committed support for specific efforts under the AmericanRecovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Recovery Act funds for NASAs Aeronautics ResearchProgram will accelerate key research, enhance the state of aeronautics for the nation,and provide a foundation for addressing the need for a Next Generation Air TransportationSystem (NextGen.) To increase the safety of aviation, better information on theperformance of aircraft jet engines is required. To produce such information, electroniccircuits that are able to sense the engines performance while it is operating andtransmit the collected data wirelessly must be placed inside the engine. This presents anextremely harsh environment for the operation of the electronic circuits, especially interms of operating temperatures which exceed 300 o C. In order to enable electroniccircuits that can operate in such harsh environments, and can also be manufactured intosmall, lightweight, and non-intrusive packages, new materials must be used and newfabrication processes developed.There are a range of components which are necessary to enable this high-temperatureengine performance monitoring and data transmitting circuit. This includeshigh-temperature packaging and interconnects as well as components within the circuititself. One major and fundamental circuit component is a capacitor.This order will develop and validate a process for fabricating a capacitor that can beintegrated into the high temperature circuit, using a material called silicon carbide.While silicon based semiconductors have enabled quite complex room-temperature circuitsto be miniaturized onto small chips, the extension of this technology to temperaturesabove 300 C is impractical. Silicon carbide (SiC) is the strongest candidatesemiconductor for implementing 400-600 C integrated electronics. THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY.A CPFF order is appropriate for this procurement because of the uncertain nature of theresearch/testing support activities required cannot be estimated to the level of accuracynecessary to allow the use of a fixed-priced contractual vehicle.
