ADROIT MATERIALS, INC. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: AF192-051
ADROIT MATERIALS, INC. — SBIR Phase I award from Department of Defense.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from Department of Defense in a technical approach.
- Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
- Obligated amount $150,000. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code AF192-051 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
The overall objective of this proposal is to develop a solar-blind Al/GaN-based OBT with sensitivity in the UV (< 365 nm) for applications in actuators operated by power-by-wire technology. The devices will incorporate three key technologies: (a) growth on single crystal GaN substrates resulting in superior reliability and low threading dislocation related leakage, compensation and failure, (b) p-type base produced via an innovative Mg doping process, and (c) bevel edge termination. The goal of the Phase I effort is to design, grow, and characterize Al/GaN-based OBTs on native substrates and demonstrate optical signal response >1 A/W.
