Contract Notice Type: Solicitation (Original)
Description: Bonded single crystal thin film multi-functional materials (electro-optic, acousto-electric, acousto-optic, magneto-optic or multi-ferroic materials) are vital for diverse sensing and communications technologies (integrated quantum, photonic, terahertz [THz], radio frequency [RF], and actuator platforms). Wafer bonding onto compatible substrates is the critical step for integrating s...
