Original Set Aside:

NASA’s Technology Transfer Program solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. THE TECHNOLOGY: Exposure to various types of radiation or even natural aging mechanisms causes undesired defects in materials used to construct modern integrated circuits that could result in system malfunction or even catastrophic mission failure. NASA Ames has developed a patent-pending technology, an on-chip annealing system based on a monolithically integrated micro-heater. This technology of self-healing electronics, with a micro-hotplate embedded on the unused back side of the chip, provides a new way of improving the recovery of a Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) transistor that has been exposed to a radiation pulse. This novel approach not only provides high radiation immunity but also enhances the robustness of space electronics, particularity for small satellites where expensive radiation hardening is not affordable. This technology is also valuable for critical applications in the terrestrial environment. To express interest in this opportunity, please submit a license application through NASA’s Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS) by visiting https://technology.nasa.gov/patent/TOP2-278 If you have any questions, please e-mail NASA’s Technology Transfer Program at Agency-Patent-Licensing@mail.nasa.gov with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this beta.SAM.gov notice and your preferred contact information. For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at https://technology.nasa.gov/ These responses are provided to members of NASA’s Technology Transfer Program for the purpose of promoting public awareness of NASA-developed technology products, and conducting preliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for future licensing opportunities. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
