Opportunity Information: Apply for BAA08 16
The DARPA grant opportunity focuses on advancing Spin Torque Transfer Random Access Memory (STT RAM) technologies. The goal is to innovate materials and processes that harness the STT phenomenon to create universal memory elements. These elements should offer high storage capacity, fast read/write speeds, compatibility with CMOS processes, and non-volatility.
Proposals should aim for groundbreaking advances rather than incremental improvements in current technologies. Previous work in micro magnetics and spintronics has successfully leveraged giant magnetoresistance (GMR) for magnetic storage solutions. The STT effect, discovered in 1999, allows for the manipulation of a material's magnetic orientation through electrical means. Components developed using this effect can provide high density, speed, durability, and are suitable for harsh environments, including those with radiation exposure.
The program intends to establish foundational technology for creating scalable memory solutions that align with existing semiconductor production methods. Successful proposals should consider the technology's compatibility and stability to facilitate early demonstrations and broader acceptance in the market.
For any administrative inquiries or assistance with proposal submissions, interested parties should contact the designated DARPA email.Apply for BAA08 16
