We specialize in molecular beam epitaxy, an advanced method to grow extremely pure and precisely controlled semiconductor crystals, essential for high-frequency electronic applications.

Our superconducting digital logic family allows our solutions extremely low operating temperatures for high-speed and energy-efficient computation. Using streamlined, precise fabrication processes ensures top-notch quality and rapid production, for high-performance defense microelectronics.

Our Super-Lattice Castellated Field Effect Transistor (SLCFET), invented at our Advanced Technology Lab, is a world-record, groundbreaking radio frequency (RF) switch. The change in traditional model led to a 3D layered structure which can handle a wider range of frequencies with minimal power loss, addressing a 30-year gap in RF switch advancement.

“This is where I want to be,” Paul says as he joins his engineering colleagues, down the hall from the janitor’s closet which once held the keys to his success.

Reviving U.S. leadership in cutting-edge technologies begins with the smallest element: the microchip.

One woman’s commitment to the quality of Northrop Grumman’s microelectronics solutions.

1,000 times faster than the chips in your cell phone, microscopic in size and enabling high speed secure communications for DoD missions.

Northrop Grumman, led by the Texas Institute for Electronics is strengthening U.S. semiconductor manufacturing using unique packaging and stacking techniques for microchips.

The prickly cactus plant sparked an idea to fine-tune high-tech avionics for one of the most advanced aircraft in the sky.

At the microelectronics foundry, engineers hover over wafers that enable a range of missions, from advanced satellite communications to complex astrophysics systems.
