Penn State leading five-year, $7.5m study of radiation effects on wide-bandgap semiconductors

What happened

A national collaboration led by Penn State University has been awarded a five-year, $7.5 million DOD MURI grant to study radiation effects on wide-bandgap semiconductors. The research aims to improve the prediction and mitigation of radiation damage in these materials, which are critical for defense and aerospace applications. Neutral: This is a long-term, fundamental R&D project with no immediate impact on component pricing, supply, or trading dynamics.
