NASHUA, N.H., 30 June 2008. BAE Systems and Micromem Applied Sensor Technologies have joined hands to co-produce nano-sensor technology.
As a foundry and business development partner with Micromem Applied Sensor Technologies, BAE Systems' Microelectronics Center in Nashua will further develop Micromem designs and manufacturability for advanced magnetic random-access memory (MRAM) products. BAE systems engineers will bring the designs to maturity and begin production of gallium arsenide-based nano-sensors that offer features such as very high-speed and low-power capability, radiation-hardness, and overall robustness.
"Foundry facilities are very expensive, and development work on new products is highly capital-intensive," says Gino Manzo, foundry director at BAE Systems in Nashua. "This arrangement will advance technology and design maturity for products developed by Micromem by giving both companies the means to produce devices for a wide range of commercial and military uses."
Micromem Applied Sensor Technologies' submicron nano-sensor, based on MRAM technology, also can be designed for use in highly accurate magnetometers instruments used to measure the strength and/or direction of magnetic fields and for threat-detection solutions for defense and homeland security.
