Northrop Grumman Wins Award for High-Power Radar Transmitter
Singapore, Asian Aerospace 2000. Northrop Grumman s (NYSE: NOC) Electronic Sensors and Systems Sector (ES3) has been awarded a 24-month, $3.5 million U.S. Navy contract for the development of a 540-kilowatt radar transmitter that uses silicon carbide (SiC) transistors.
Silicon carbide is an extremely versatile semiconductor material capable of functioning under high-temperature, high-power and high-frequency conditions, making it preferred for a variety of electronic devices and applications, including radar.
"Northrop Grumman has been involved in the development of SiC microwave devices for more than a decade," said Kelly Overman, vice president and general manager of the Systems Development and Technology business unit at ES3. "Winning this contract keeps us at the forefront of this important technology." Northrop Grumman s Baltimore-based Electronic Sensors and Systems Sector is a leading designer, systems integrator and manufacturer of defense electronics and systems, airspace management systems, marine systems, precision weapons, space systems, and automation and information systems.

Secure Your Hydrogen Supply
A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.
