59 -- INVESTIGATIONS OF INP-BASED IMPATTS SOL N68936-95-R-0230 DUE 050395 POC Alice Martin, Contract Specialist, (619) 939-4755/ Contracting Officer, Ted Fiske, (619) 939-8182. The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division plans to procure on an other than full and open competition basis from the University of Michigan the continued theoretical and experimental investigations to establish the feasibility of fabricating high power CW and pulse impact avalanches and transit time (Impatt) devices from InP-based epitaxial material for operation at 94 Ghz. These investigations will include, but not be limited to, the following: 1) Design and growth of epitaxial layer structures to evaluate material parameters in InP and to optimize ohmic contacts on InP. 2) Design, simulation and growth of various Impatt structures . 3) Development of low-parasitics packaging technology to insure impatt operation at 94 Ghz. 4) Optimization of heat-sinking technology to facilitate multiple-device cavity power combining. 5) During the course of the program reports and other material will be delivered to the Naval Air Warfare Center, China Lake, CA 93555-6001 for evaluation and testing. The period of performance will be a basic year plus two (2) one year options. See Numbered Note 22 (0072)
