Feb. 2025---After successful Phase I and Phase II efforts, Carbon Technology recently received a Phase III award from the Department of Energy to further advance its carbon nanotube manufacturing process and commercialize its technology.
December 2024--The US Army has selected Carbon Technology for a Phase I, six month contract for the development of a carbon nanotube based chemical sensor. The University of California, Irvine and southern California defense contractor Design West Technologies, Inc. will collaborate with Carbon Technology to create a prototype sensor capable of detecting airborne hazards with substantially greater sensitivity than current state of the art sensors.
June 2022--AFWERX, the innovation arm of the Department of the Air Force, awarded Carbon Technology, Inc. a $1.25M contract to develop and test carbon nanotube-based field effect transistor (CNTFET) devices for characterization in radiation hard environments. Theoretical estimates indicate CNTFET's could have as much as fifteen times better radiation hardness compared to traditional semiconductor materials.
Aug. 2021---The Department of Energy awarded a Phase II contract to Carbon Technology valued at $1.1M to build on CTI's NSF funded CNT synthesis breakthrough.
Feb. 2020---CTI's progress on Phase I Establishing carbon nanotube transistor manufacturing and test is the focus of a Phase I SBIR contract ($200K) awarded to Carbon Technology, Inc. The effort in atomic precision manufacturing will advance methods in a CMOS compatible process, particularly Atomic Layer Deposition.
June 2020---A Phase I contract has been issued by the Department of Energy to Carbon Technology, Inc. for the advancement of Atomic Layer Deposition techniques in the development of carbon nanotube semiconductor devices.
