Northrop Grumman wins $7 million DARPA contract for diamond-cooled chips
I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.Northrop Grumman has secured a $7 million DARPA contract for Phase 2 of the THREADS program to develop diamond-cooled microchips. The initiative aims to enhance military radar and communications by embedding diamond heat-dissipation structures into chip architectures, targeting a tripling of power density compared to Phase 1.
- Northrop Grumman won a USD 7 million DARPA THREADS Phase 2 contract to develop diamond-cooled microchips for military radar, communications. * Program targets higher power density for RF electronics by embedding diamond heat-dissipation structures directly into chip architectures. * Phase 2 objective calls for tripling power density versus Phase 1, following a 3.3x power increase achieved in earlier testing.
