NOC•DARPA contract for diamond-cooled microchips
Northrop Grumman won a $7 million DARPA THREADS Phase 2 contract to develop diamond-cooled microchips for military radar and communications.
The program targets higher power density for RF electronics by embedding diamond heat-dissipation structures directly into chip architectures.
Phase 2’s objective calls for tripling power density versus Phase 1, following a 3.3x power increase achieved in earlier testing.
