Microsystems Engineering Science & Applications (MESA)
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
Sandia's work in micro and nanosystems/microelectronics is critical for DOE and other national security missions. Collocated REtD and production Is foundational to current and future capabilities as are partnerships, requiring continuous engagement in the following areas: Advanced REtD that deepens our scientific understanding of technologies to meet national needs and address emerging threats; External partnerships that strengthen the US semiconductor science and industrial base and leverage US and global supply chains; and Trusted and low-volume production for NNSA and synergistic national security missions that can't, won't, or shouldn't be supplied by industry. Microsystems are the primary enabler for agile, responsive weapon development and advanced functionality in the non-nuclear domain, and Sandia's MESA Complex is the only remaining US foundry with the proven ability to deliver the custom trusted and strategically radiation-hardened (TSRH) microelectronic components required to sustain the nation's nuclear deterrent. Four key strategies will advance MESA's technological leadership against future mission challenges.
