- Description
- The goal of the Vanishing Programmable Resources (VAPR) BAA is to develop and establish a basis set of materials, components, integration, and manufacturing capabilities to undergird this new class of electronics. PARC will integrate their experience with stress-engineered materials, silicon processing, and microchip handling and deposition to create a transience technology called Disintegration Upon Stress-release Trigger, or DUST. PARC proposes to develop stress-engineered substrates with integrated triggers and silicon proxy, or "dummy" circuits that, upon application of a short electrical trigger, will crumble into small, sand-like particles in a fraction of a second. The particle size is such that the individual pieces will be invisible to the naked eye at a reasonable distance and will blend into the surrounding environment under a variety of CONOPS. The transience behavior is enabled as the intense internal stress of the substrate is released, and is the core element of this technology.
