Research grade Gallium Nitride amplifier

Background
NASA/NSSC has a requirement for research grade Gallium Nitride amplifiers. The agency intends to issue a sole source contract to GANIFY, INC., as they are determined to be the sole provider of these amplifiers. NASA/NSSC will be the procuring center for this effort, with performance located at NASA/Glenn Research Center (GRC).

Work Details
The contractor will provide 20 research grade Gallium Nitride amplifiers capable of operating at 800 °C in air for a minimum of 1 hour. Each amplifier must meet the following specifications:
- Transistor minimum On/O ratio of 500 at 800 °C, with higher numbers preferred.
- Amplifier chip size must not exceed 2.5 mm x 2.5 mm.
- Pin layouts and counts must have input ports diagonally opposite from bottom right to top left, with the output port placed top right above the input port.
- Unity gain bandwidth of 0.5 MHz at 800 °C in air.
- Minimum gain of 20 dB at 800 °C in air, with higher gains preferred.
- Vdd-Vss rail-rail voltage of 15 V or less.
- In-situ electrical testing of 3 representative amplifiers from the same batch delivered at 800 °C for a minimum of 1 hour is required, with longer durations preferred.
- Ex-situ electrical testing of 3 representative amplifiers before and after aging at 800 °C in air for 1 hour is also required.

Testing documents to be delivered include:
- Room temperature to 800 °C electrical testing results for the representative amplifiers.
- Room temperature electrical testing results for all delivered amplifiers.
- Testing results using a customer’s dummy silicon carbide pressure sensor chip with each amplifier, under a sensor output load between 500 and 1500 ohms.

Period of Performance
Delivery shall be completed no later than six months upon receipt of purchase order.

Place of Performance
NASA/Glenn Research Center (GRC), Cleveland, Ohio.

Bidder Requirements
The contractor must demonstrate capabilities and qualifications to perform the work as specified in the Statement of Work.
