September 15, 2009 : CoolCAD Electronics LLC has won a SBIR Phase II contract from NASA for developing physics based models for semiconductor devices and circuits working at cryogenic temperatures. This two year project will enable the development of sophisticated tools to predict the behavior of silicon MOS devices at extreme cryogenic temperatures, and allow circuit engineers to design complex circuits with a high degree of reliability and predictability for space applications.

We propose to help solve the energy crisis by directly harvesting energy from infrared radiation sources through the use of micro-antennas coupled to rectifying diodes and storage capacitors. The general concept is to combine antennas with rectifiers to..........
