Microsystem Electricity Generation

The purpose of this Special Notice (SN) is to provide public notification of additional research areas of interest to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Microsystems Technology Office (MTO). Microsystems in commercial and defense spaces consume significant amounts of power. This power is transformed into heat and dissipated through the packages and heat rejection systems. DARPA MTO is interested in technologies implementable within microsystem packages capable of corralling this waste heat and reclaiming it as useful electricity. Additional details can be found within the appended slides.
