Director's Report

The Center for Space Microelectronics Technology (CSMT) was founded in 1987

at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) of the California Institute of Technology

(Caltech). The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and several

Department of Defense agencies with space mission responsibilities established

CSMT in order to create a critical-mass program in space microelectronics with

world-class facilities, equipment, and staff.

The Center concentrates on innovative high-risk, high-payoff concepts and devices

with the potential to enable future space missions and to significantly enhance

current and planned missions. CSMT conducts research and development in four

technical areas: solid-state devices, photonics, custom microcircuits, and advanced

computing. Research and development are pursued through proof-of-concept

demonstration, and successes are transferred to engineering development in

government laboratories and industry.

CSMT focuses on those aspects of microelectronics and advanced computing that

are unique to space applications. These areas of focus include sensors for those

portions of the electromagnetic spectrum that are not accessible from Earth

because the atmosphere is opaque; microinstruments and microelectronic systems

for miniature spacecraft; and high-performance computing for mission data

analysis and visualization.

After six years, CSMT has gained national recognition for its efforts in the following

areas:

Microsensors and microinstruments

Electron tunneling

Terahertz (submillimeter) technology

Concurrent (massively parallel) computing

Neural networks

Silicon-compatible infrared detectors

CSMT also has significant programs in:

Acousto-optical tunable-filter spectrometers

Semiconductor lasers

Long-wavelength infrared detectors
In addition, CSMT is investing in these areas for future applications:

Nanometer devices

Optoelectronic integrated circuits

Innovative materials

Sensor readout electronics

Binary/diffractive optics

Ultraviolet and X-ray CCDs

Policy guidance and program oversight for the Center are provided by the CSMT

Board of Governors.

As of January 1993, the members of the CSMT Board of Governors were:

• Dr. Edward Stone, Director, JPL, Chairman

• Dr. Fenton Carey, Director, Office of Space, Department of Energy

• Dr. Gary Denman, Director, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency

• Dr. Dwight Duston, Director,::Ba/listicMisSileD_!ense

Organization/Innovative Science and Technology Office

• Dr. Thomas Everhart, President, Caltech

• Dr. Lennard Fisk, Associate Administrator, Office of Space and Science

Applications, NASA

• Col. David Jackson, Director, Army Space Technology and Research Office

• Dr. Paul Jennings, Vice President and Provost, Caltech

• Mr. Gregory Reck, Acting Associate Administrator, Office of Advanced

Concepts and Technology, NASA

• Dr. Robert White, Undersecretary for Technology, U.S. Department of

Com me rce

The CSMT Scientific Advisory Board, comprised of seven_wQrld-reno_w_ned

scientists, reviews the technical program and- i_r0vi_ie-S adv!ce to theB0ard of

Governors and CSMT Director. The remainder of this Director's Report summarizes

the last year's achievements on the technical, programmatic, and institutional

fronts.

TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS

The key accomplishments of CSMT scientists and engineers during the past years

were as follows:

• Ultraviolet CCD Detectors CSMT personnel extended the response of

a commercial 512 x 512-pixel CCD to 100 nm in the ultraviolet, This was

accomplished by using molecular beam epitaxy to incorporate a deltadoped layer, which prevents carrier recombination on the surface

=

Ultrahigh-Frequency Capacitive Microseismometer. CSMT staff

developed a miniature seismometer that has nano-g sensitivity and weighs

less than 200 grams. A prototype seismometer, which could be used on a

Mars mission, has been installed and has successfully measured

earthquakes.

Submillimeter Sensor Technology. Niobium-based superconductorinsulator-superconductor mixers have been successfully demonstrated in

quasi-optical receivers at 547 GHz and at 640 to 665 GHz using

waveguides. The receiver noise temperatures of 120-250 K set new record

lows in all these applications. The ground and airborne telescope-based

receivers were used to acquire astrophysical data.

Submillimeter Flight Science. The Microwave Limb Sounder flying on

the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite has mapped ozone depletion

over Europe as well as Antarctica. The 205-GHz heterodyne receiver

continues to operate without problems.

Semiconductor Lasers. The world's first continuous-operation 1.43- and

2.1-1_m semiconductor lasers were demonstrated. These lnGaAs/InGaAsP

lasers are being developed for lidar and spectroscopy applications to detect

CO2 and N20 gases.

Long-Wavelength Infrared Detectors. A GaAs-based quantum well

detector, developed jointly by AT&T, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory,

and JPL, had a measured detectivity of 2 x 1010 at 15 llm and 60 K. This

detector has potential application on NASA's Earth Observing System.

Space Environmental Effects. Two flight experiment boxes were

delivered to the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO). The

experiments, scheduled to fly on BMDO's Clementine mission in 1994, will

measure the effects of space radiation on advanced CMOS circuitry, chargecoupled devices, and static random-access memory.

Micro-Weather Station. CSMT demonstrated new micromachined silicon

pressure, temperature, and wind sensors, in addition to a miniature

hygrometer for measuring humidity. The level of miniaturization achieved

will enable use of the micro-weather station on Mars and in Earth's

troposphere.

High-Performance Computing. The Intel Touchstone Delta parallel

supercomputer was used to visualize Venus radar images from the

Magellan Spaceci'aft, to study the solar wind and the structure of the Sun,

and to perform complex electromagnetic scattering calculations. Sustained

performance of up to 10 gigaflops was achieved.

3
Solid-State Memories. A device built on garnet substrata was

demonstrated to be capable of sustaining both bubble- and strip-shaped

magnetic domains at the same bias field. This is an important precondition

for building solid-state, nonvolatile memory chips with densities that may

exceed one gigabit per square centimeter.

I. Solid-State Devices

OVERVIEW

The Solid State Device Research Program is directed toward developing

innovative devices for space remote and in-situ sensing, and for data processing.

Innovative devices can result from the "standard" structures in innovative materials,

such as low- and high-temperature superconductors or strained-layer superlattices.

Innovative devices can also result from "innovative" structures achieved using

electron tunneling or nanolithography in standard materials. A final step is to use

both innovative structures and innovative materials. A new area of emphasis is the

miniaturization of sensors and instruments using the techniques of electronic

device fabrication to micromachine silicon into micromechanical and

electromechanical sensors and actuators.

1992 MAJOR TECHNICAL ACHIEVEMENTS

Electron Tunneling

Demonstrated feasibility of new microscopy; Tunneling Transmission

Microscopy.

Demonstrated new technique to measure electronic characteristics of pn

junctions and heterojunctions (e.g., doping, uniformity, transport efficiency).

Observed for first time the strain-induced conduction band-splitting in

SeGe alloys.

Delivered MicroGolay Cells to Goddard Space Flight Center for long-term

testing. Performance estimated at factor of two better than state-of-the-art

(pyroelectric) room-temperature IR sensor.

Demonstrated operation of a prototype "compass needle" magnetometer

at NRL.

Demonstrated operation of a prototype all-silicon microaccelerometer.

Superconductivity

Fabricated the first high-performance SNS weak links with ion-damaged

barrier layers. These devices exhibit some of the best reported electrical

characteristics at 77 K, and are expected to be useful for ultrahigh-speed,

low-power flux quantum logic circuits, for Josephson mixers, and for

sensitive magnetic field detectors.

P_ PA.._£ BLANK NOT F_IV_D

11
Produced high-quality epitaxial YBa2Cu307/Y203-ZrO2/Si structures.

These structures will be used for fabrication of epitaxial YBCO bolometers

and bolometer arrays on thermally isolated membranes. Such bolometers

are expected to outperform other available IR sensors for wavelengths

greater than 10 mm.

Delivered Y-Ba-Cu-O films on Honeywell 7.6-cm Si wafers with readout

transistors for bolometer array fabrication.

Demonstrated growth of high-quality Y-Ba-Cu-O films on low-dielectricconstant insulators such as BaF2. These YBCO/insulator heterostructures

are important for fabrication of high-speed superconducting interconnects for

high-performance circuit and packaging applications.

Fabricated and delivered for testing bandpass microwave filters. These

filters will be incorporated into a low-noise receiver subsystem, similar to the

front end of a Deep Space Network receiver, which will be submitted for

launch on the NRL High-Temperature Superconductor Space Experiment II

(HTSSE II). This project is being done in collaboration with section 336 and

NASA Lewis Research Center.

Submillimeter (Terahertz) Receiver Technology

Demonstrated very low SIS receiver noise: TR = 370 K at 521 GHz, The

waveguide mixer uses a niobium tunnel junction integrated with a specially

designed superconductive microstrip transformer to resonate the junction

capacitance. This is the best receiver result to date above 500 GHz.

Demonstrated very-low-noise SIS mixer: Tm= 1130 K at 619 GHz. This is

the best mixer result to date above 600 GHz.

Developed an improved theoretical analysis of the dispersion in

superconductive Nb-SiOx-Nb microstrip transmission lines at submillimeter

wave frequencies. The full frequency dependence of the complex

propagation parameter and characteristic impedance has been properly

incorporated into the calculations.

Demonstrated for the first time a rectangular millimeter-wave waveguide

fabricated using silicon micromachining techniques.

Made first measurements on a 200-GHz tripler using planar back-to-back

Barrier-N-N + (bbBNN) varactor devices. These devices were developed at

JPL. More than 2% efficiency was observed in the first measurement. These

planar devices show maximum efficiency at lower power levels. This is

critical to the development of submillimeter-wave frequency multipliers.

12
Developed a novel fabrication technique for back-to-back BNN varactor

diodes, in whici_ much of the processing is done from the back side of the

wafer. Advantages of this technique over other techniques include greatly

reduced front-side wafer damage because of reduced exposure to process

chemicals, improved capability to integrate devices, and higher line yield.

Carded out measurement on 200-GHz single-barrier varactor (SBV) triplers

using a crossed waveguide mount. These devices were fabricated at

Chalmers and Lincoln Laboratory. More than 5% efficiency has been

achieved. Characterized the SBV diode performance over 180-to-210-

GHz frequency range by varying output backshort positions to compare

performance to our theoretical predictions. Evaluated loss in the crossed

waveguide mount.

Measured DC characteristic of bbBNN devices. Devices have symmetrical

CV characteristic and very low leakage current (less than 10 nA at voltages

3 times that needed to deplete the varactor).

Developed a new technique to measure series resistance and capacitance

of the planar bbBNN devices using vector network analyzer. These devices

do not have high series resistance like barrier-intrinsic-N (BIN) devices.

Lower leakage current and smaller series resistance make these devices

promising for submillimeter-wave applications.

Performed scale-model measurements on 200 GHz-tripler and 810-GHz

quintupler.

Demonstrated new method of processing for submillimeter-wave multiplier

diodes that greatly simplifies integration issues and reduces yield-limiting

factors. BNN diodes fabricated using this method with integral antenna

structures on low-dielectric substrates have been tested at low frequencies

with excellent results. With minimal changes, the method also has been

adopted as a means for fabricating submillimeter-wave mixer diodes.

Fabricated and tested the world's first SIS planar array receiver at 230

GHz. All 10 receiver elements worked, and mixer noise temperatures

between 90 and 235 K were obtained. Four elements had noise

temperatures below 100 K, only two times higher than the best singleelement waveguide receivers using similar superconducting detectors at the

same frequency.

Developed a novel technique for making a combined GaAs-on-quartz

hybridized substrate. The procedure can be used to combine active GaAs

semiconducting devices with passive transmission line circuitry to form lowloss planar integrated millimeter-wave circuitry. A subharmonically pumped

antiparallel-diode-pair mixer was fabricated and tested with this approach at

200 GHzo

13
Developed and fabricated the first series-array planar varactor-diode

doubler (joint program with University of Virginia and University of

Massachusetts). The novel array design allows a quadrupling of the usual

input power level with little sacrifice in overall multiplication efficiency. More

than 50 mW of output power was achieved at 170 GHz, five times higher

than any other solid-state multiplier at this frequency.

Semiconducting Materials: Growth and Characterization

Discovered a new selective etch procedure for preferentially converting

SiGe epilayers to porous material without coverting adjacent Si layers. This

etch has been exploited to fabricate amorphous/crystalline superlattices,

and may also find application in superior electroluminescent devices based

on porous Si, a superior SOl (Si on insulator) technology, and as a Si lift-off

technology.

Demonstrated a new method for preparation of TEM specimens from

homoepitaxial diamond samples. This method relies on laser ablation rather

than conventional techniques involving ion milling. Because of the slow

milling rate of diamond, this process reduces specimen preparation time

from -- 100 hours to = 3 hours.

Demonstrated a new technique for measuring porosities in porous Si and

related materials. In this technique, energy dispersive analysis by x-rays is

performed on a cross-sectional sample in a transmission electron

microscope. By comparing the total x-ray yield from the porous layer to that

in the bulk, the relative amounts of material from which x-rays are excited

can be obtained, and hence the porosity. Using this technique, porosities

can be determined at various points (i.e., as a function of depth) in the

porous layer.

Performed MBE growth and passivation of a 2.5-nm layer of delta-doped

silicon on the back surface of a thinned EG&G Reticon 512x512 CCD array:

Electronic Device Technology

Developed reproducible process for E-Beam lithography of T-gates.

Demonstrated new method of processing for submillimeter-wave multiplier

diodes that greatly simplifies integration issues and reduces yield-limiting

factors. BNN diodes fabricated using this method with integral antenna

structures on low-dielectric substrates have been tested at low frequencies

with excellent results. With minimal changes, the method also has been

adopted as a means for fabricating submillimeter-wave mixer diodes.

14
Demonstrated noise reduction of quantum well infrared photodetector

(QWIP) by monoilthically incorporating a Iowmoise filter.

Fabricated circuits incorporating 0.1-1_m pseudomorphic HEMTs (highelectron-mobility transistors) in differential pairs and delivered to

collaborators at Caltech for incorporation into grid arrays (quasi-optically

combined power amplifiers) for microwave operation.

Measured ultraviolet quantum efficiency at the theoretical limit of an EG&G

Reticon CCD array, modified at MDL by growth of a delta-doped silicon

layer.

Demonstrated first two-dimensional electron gas charge-coupled device

(2DEG CCD) implemented in the InAIAs/InGaAs/inP lattice-matched system.

Developed physical model for gate leakage in cryogenic complementary

heterojunction field-effect transistors.

Microinstrument Technology

Fabricated 16 phase-level, diffraction-limited Fresnel lenses having 83%

efficiency by direct-write, variable-dose E-beam exposure of PMMA.

Fabricated precision optical test reticules for calibration and alignment of

Hubble corrector optics for the Wide Field Planetary Camera.

Fabricated Ronchi Ruling for Toward Other Planetary Systems (TOPS)

astrometrics

Designed, fabricated, and demonstrated proof-of-concept micromachined

electron energy filter less than 5 mm thick and compatible with large-area

arrays.

Demonstrated high-aspect-ratio (>20:1) fine grid structures (100-1_m pitch)

in silicon, gold, copper, and tungsten using technologies including chemical

micromachining, precision sawing, electroforming, and chemical vapor

deposition. Planned use on balloon flight (HEIDI) and proposed High

Energy Solar Physics (HESP) mission

Demonstrated prototype dew-point hygrometer, uncoated surfaceacoustic-wave oscillators.

Demonstrated prototype microbarometer.

Demonstrated operation of an electrostatically deformable membrane

1 cm in diameter.

15
Demonstrated Operation of 2.54-cm cube seismometer in 2286-m-deep

borehole at China Lake. Sensitivity, estimated at better than 100 nG,

exceeds all comparable underground devices.

1992 MAJOR TECHNICAL ACHIEVEMENTS

Lasers

• Patterned gratings incorporating/4 phase shift for DFB lasers.

• Demonstrated a mode-locked erbium doped fiber optic ring laser, which

can produce tunable, 500-femtosecond pulses with 1-kW peak power in the

1.55-micrometer regime.

• Demonstrated the world's first continuous operation of InGaAs/InP lasers

up to 2.0 micrometers in wavelength. These lasers are essential for LIDAR

and spectroscopy applications.

• Developed state-of-the-art single-mode lasers at 940 nm for spectroscopy

and computer interconnects.

Optoelectronic Materials and Characterization

Examined thick porous SiGe alloy samples with a range of Ge content.

Upon stain etching of MBE grown layers, the samples are found to become

much more Ge rich. Photoluminescence measurements of these samples

show that the luminescence intensity decreases dramatically with increasing

Ge content, without significant shifts in the peak position.

Optoelectronic Integrated Circuits

Designed state-of-the-art low-damage chemical-assisted ion etching

system, which is going to be used for the fabrication of submicrometer OEIC

structu res.

Patterned growth of high-quality GaAs for fabrication of quantum dot and

quantum wire structures.

ORIGINAL PAC-_E

OF POOR QUALITY
Infrared Detectors

Fabricated stacked (multiple layer) HIP SiGe/Si IR detectors. For initial

study, two stacked detectors (2 periods of 100A-Sio.7(_eo.3 (p+)/Si and 4

periods of 50A-Sio.7Geo.3 (p+)/Si) and a single-layer detector (200 ASio.7Geo.3 (p+)/Si) were fabricated. The idea is to improve the internal

quantum efficiency (collection efficiency of photo-generated carriers at the

collector) by using multiple SiGe layers. TEM micrographs showed good

crystalline quality of the SiGe/Si multilayers. Similar current-voltage

characteristics were observed for the stacked devices compared to the

single-layer device.

Demonstrated the first LWIR PtSi infrared detectors by incorporating a

1-nm-thick p+ doping spike at the PtSi/Si interface. Three doping-spike PtSi

infrared detector samples with boron doping concentrations of 2 x1019 to

2 x 1020 cm-3 were fabricated by growing the doping spikes at 400°C using

MBE. The effective PtSi Schottky barrier heights of these samples decrease

with increasing boron doping concentrations. Doping spike PtSi detectors

with cutoff wavelengths of 6.5, 9, 11, 14, 18, & 22 I_m have been

demonstrated. Furthermore, QE @ 5 I_m has been improved by more than

two orders of magnitude compared to that of the conventional PtSi detector.

Carried out ground-based radiation test results of the SiGe HIP detectors

by exposing these devices to 1 Mrad of Co-60/Am-241 and 1 Mrad of 8.5-

MeV protons. No increase in the device dark current was observed after the

radiation. The current-voltage characteristics of the detectors were

measured at temperatures ranging from 70 to 140 K. The activation energy

analysis of these devices showed that the Richardson constant was

increased by a factor of two, and the potential barrier was increased by less

than 5% compared to those of the unradiated devices. The increased

potential barrier indicates that the strain SiGe layer does not relax after

radiation.

Developed an antireflection coating technology for SiGe HIP detectors

operating at 8-12 I_m. The antireflection coating consists of 1.7 l_m thick ZnS.

FTIR measurement of a Si substrate with antireflection coating indicated an

improvement in absorption of more than 30% in the LWIR region.

Used a new amorphous Ge deposition technique for the optical cavity

formation of SiGe HIP detector arrays.

Developed a subpicosecond pulse detection and optical thresholding

system for performing real-time detection of correctly decoded CDMA

pulses.

44
Demonstrated germanium blocked impurity band far-infared (80-200 _m)

detector arrays iri small formats (2x8) with goodq_uantum efficiency and low

dark current.

Nonlinear Optics and Optical Processing

Demonstrated motion-enhanced correlation using degenerated four-wave

mixing in photorefractive CdTe, which shows both optical correlation and

novelty filtering phenomena.

Demonstrated high-speed pattern correlation using photodiffractive effect

in Cr-doped GaAs/AIGaAs semi-insulating multiple-quantum wall structure.

(Collaboration with the Bell Laboratories)

Developed nonlinear optical dyes with unprecedented nonlinear

polarizability, a factor of 20 larger than conventional molecules such as

Disperse Red 1.

Demonstrated twelvefold increase in electro-optic coefficient for a polymer

film containing newJPL-developed nonlinear optical dyes as compared to

polymer containing conventional Disperse Red i dye.

Developed a model for polar packing of molecules in two-component

layered crystal systems that provides a strategy for development of

noncentrosymmetric nonlinear optical materials.

Demonstrated factor of two enhancement in optical limiting performance

for Pb and In contain!ng phthalocyanine dyes as compared to previous

state-of-the-art phthalocyanines, resulting in performance in the range

needed for eye protection.

Developed sol-gel and polymeric solid-state nonlinear absorptive limiter

materials containing phthalocyanine dyes with energy-handling capability in

excess of 1 J/cm 2, which meets the requirement for limiter devices for eye

protection.

Developed new theoretical procedure that uses geometry optimization in

the presence of electric fields to probe the relationships between molecular

structure and nonlinear polarizability of organic compounds.

Demonstrated a relationship between bond length alternation in

conjugated linear chain molecules and their nonlinear polarizability, which

gives for the first time a systematic strategy for the optimization of the

nonlinear polarizability of molecules of a given length.

45
Demonstrated the tuning of the third-order polarizability of donor/acceptor

polyene molecules by variation of solvent polarity and acceptor strength,

allowing maximization, sign reversal, and a crossing through zero of the

third-order polarizability.

Developed a UV-transparent bio-organic nonlinear optical crystal capable

of optical second-harmonic generation of 1064-nm light with an efficiency

exceeding that of conventional KD*P crystals.

Fiber Optics

Showed that performance of fiber cables in orbit on LDEF is consistent with

laboratory measurements of radiation damage.

Demonstrated a fiber-based system for demonstrating code-division

multiple-acess (CDMA) all'optical networking.

Space Environmental Effects on Materials

The mechanism for the atomic oxygen erosion of perfluorinated polymeric

materials (Teflon TMI)has been further elucidated. The bombardment of virgin

Teflon TM with hyperthermal atomic oxygen yielded no reaction products as a

result of the impact, while similar material recovered from the trailing edge of

LDEF-emitted CO2 when exposed to the same beam. This suggests that in

space the photolyzed or photo-oxidized layer that forms on fluorinated

polymers is reactive to atomic oxygen and gives rise to degradation

observed in these materials.

The direct erosion of Kaptan TM thermal blanket material by atomic oxygen

was confirmed by the detection of CO and CO2 reaction products during

O-atom bombardment. Observation of a bimodal product distribution in the

time-of-flight spectra for the CO product suggests that several different

mechanisms are involved in the erosion process.

The installation and characterization of the straggled proton beam hardware

at Caltech's Kellogg Radiation Laboratory has been successfully completed.

The proton beam produced compared favorably with theoretical predictions,

and studies on the broadband radiation of multilayer structures have been

initiated.

Photonics Systems

Demonstrated feasibility of optical readout of a focal plane array using a

MQW waveguide modulator

46
Designed and built a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) controller. Using this

controller, the operating temperature of a laser diode can be stabilized to

within 0.02 degree Celsius, in the 0-to-50-degree-Celsius range.

Furthermore, it can be used to perform temperature tuning of the laser's

wavelength.

Remote Sensing Technology

Designed and assembled an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF)

polarimetric and hyperspectral imaging prototype system for remote sensing

applications from ground platform. Tests of its performance are in progress.

Completed a preliminary design on development of real-time,

programmable, AOTF hyperspectral imaging systems to be used from

Learjet and space-shuttle platforms.

OVERVIEW

Advanced concepts in hardware, software, and algorithms are being pursued for

application in next-generation space computers and for ground-based analysis of

space data. The research program focuses on massively parallel computation and

neural networks, as well as optical processing and optical networking, which are

discussed in the Photonics Section. Also included are theoretical programs in

neural and nonlinear science, and device development for magnetic and

ferroelectric memories.

1992 MAJOR TECHNICAL ACHIEVEMENTS

Parallel Computation

Demonstrated parallel rendering of Landsat images using Compositional

C++ as part of IBM announcement of their new parallel machine at

Supercomputing '92, Minneapolis, MN, November 1992.

Developed 3D CouPled Integral Equation Finite Element Electromagnetics

Code for analysis of inhomogeneous electromagnetic structures.

Analyzed structures requiring solution of systems of linear equations with

over 48,000 unknowns on the Intel Touchstone Delta System.

Developed new techniques for performing parallel proximity detection for

parallel discrete event simulations in the SPEEDES (Synchronous Parallel

Environment for Emulation and Discrete Event Simulation) operating

system.

Demonstrated the feasibility of new hybrid techniques for synchronizing

parallel and distributed simulations using the SPEEDES operating system.

Developed and demonstrated a new synchronization strategy for

parallel simulations in the SPEEDES environment called "Breathing Time

Warp." This new approach combines the best of both 'Time Warp" and

=Breathing Time Buckets" into one system while eliminating the potential

problems that each of these might have by themselves.

Designed and Implemented the Advanced Simulation Framework (ASF)

to support parallel discrete-event simulation on heterogeneous network of

workstations and parallel computers.

65

PR6,CCd)tN_ PAG£ BLANK NOT F]LM_D
Neural and Analog Computing

Designed, fabricated, and demonstrated, for the first time, an

application-specific 40 x 40 resource allocation processor chip based on

parallel processing neural net concept. This is a fully integrated embodiment

of an asynchronous analog network with multidimensional feedback, solving

a computation-intensive problem of dynamic assignment, orders of

magnitude faster than even the state-of-the-art digital parallel machines

such as a hypercube. The information processing speed of this chip is

potentially equivalent to 2.56 trillion operations per second.

Developed, Implemented, and demonstrated the first high-speed

reconfigurable neuroprocessor on a PC card. This processor easily

interfaces with any PC (e.g., 486, 386). Its versatility (architectures of

feedforward, feedback, cascade correlation, etc., and different input, hidden

and output nodes) has been demonstrated by applying it to problems

ranging from feature extraction (feedforward net) in a map-knowledge base

for cartographic data analysis to resource allocation (dynamic assignment)

under dynamically changing cost conditions (feedback configuration). This

card clearly demonstrates the significant speed enhancement with the use of

fully parallel hardware. In addition, incorporation of direct memory access

(DMA) interface, currently under way, would further increase the processing

speed by over an order of magnitude.

Developed and fabricated a 15 x 15-order binary-optic Dammann

grating using the e-beam lithography system, and tested first such grating

as a laser beam replication device. This grating has the advantages of high

orders, high efficiency, and high uniformity for applications to enhance

connectivity in optical processing.

Designed, fabricated, and tested a neuron-synapse chip as a class D

device package to be flown in a geo-transfer orbit on board a British satellite,

for research of space environmental effects on neural net hardware, training

and performance, and evaluation and improvement of current device

designs. The chip will be programmed to learn and perform a number of

input-output mapping functions as well as a character recognition operation.

Developed and demonstrated, using an acousto-optic tunable filter

(AOTF), successful discrimination of a blue-green._.!aser line embedded in an

intense white light with a better than 30-dB improvement in the signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) I Th_S demonstrates a potential for use of an AOTF in bluegreen laser radar (LIDAR) applications.

Experimentally demonstrated an innovative approach to generate an

inhibitory synaptic-weight Fourier hologram using an electronically

controlled liquid-crystal light valve. Such a hologram would be useful for

dense optical memory schemes for high-speed pattern recognition.

66
Designed and fabricated a chip based on a neural net architecture for

diagnostics for high-speed autonomous vehicle health management (VHM).

This chip would be demonstrated for diagnostic analysis of an auxiliary

power unit (APU) used by a space shuttle. The scheme is generic to similar

high-speed applications in any plant operation health monitoring and

management.

Designed and fabricated a novel vector array processor for use in realtime and ultralow-power image compression applications. This custom

processor is based on the vector quantization image encoding algorithm,

and this hardware fully exploits the inherent parallelism of the algorithm. The

processor can handle code-book sizes up to 128 vectors of dimensionality

16.

Developed, in collaboration with Penn. State University, a novel concept

for a real-time optical joint transform correlator based on large holographic

memory. This correlator would compare a two-dimensional input image with

a large bank of images. This system would be particularly useful for real-time

ID check by characteristics such as face or fingerprint. The system would

take advantage of the architecture for parallel retrieval of and large storage

capability of photorefractive memory.

Developed a simulator, as a precursor to a new path-planning processor

chip implementation. The chip would provide high-speed determination of

"lowest cost" path from one or multiple origination points on a given terrain to

all the points of the terrain, when the mobility "costs" of traversing individual

pixels in 8 directions (North, South, East, West and NE, NW, SE, and SW)

are known. In addition, the design permits vector costs as inputs, thereby

allowing, e.g., up-slope and down-slope speeds on a hill to be different. This

design will expand our already demonstrated 7-MHz path-planning chip,

interfaced with a PC, for computation and display, for example, of the

simultaneous advance of a "red" and a "blue" team on any constrained

terrain, display isocost contours for different movers, and determine the best

path to reach any point on the terrain with over four orders of magnitude

speed enhancement (over that with conventional sequential digital

techniques). This chip will have applications not only in the defense arena,

but also for better earthquake and emergency preparedness, and for traffic

congestion control.

67
Neurocomputing Theory and Nonlinear Science

Constructed a novel neural network associative model based on the

concept of terminal attractor in nonlinear dynamic theory. The terminal

attractor has an infinite attracting power in phase space. With the assistance

of the terminal attractor, it can be proven through computer simulation that

the storage capacity can reach at least 4N, where N is the total number of

neurons without any spurious or oscillation states. With a small number of

neurons, exhaustive search simulation shows that total convergence can be

achieved. With 256 neurons, it can be shown that perfect convergence with

an adaptive threshold can be accomplished with 1024 stored states. An

optical implementation of the model with inner-product architecture is

devised.

Developed and validated radically new algorithmic approaches and

analytical tools for tactical intelligence fusion in the areas of: (a) probabilistic

force structure characterization and ranking; (b) constrained geolocation

prediction of critical reiocatable targets with high accuracy. Currently

working on technology transfer to NSWC, ETL, PM ASAS, and PM IEW. U.S.

Army APO TECHBASE PROGRAM.

Developed and demonstrated novel neural/earning theory in terms of

non-Lipschitzian dynamics and adjoint operators. The new methodology

enables computation of the gradient of an objective functional with respect to

the various parameters of the network architecture in a highly efficient

manner. Specifically, it combines the advantage of dramatic reductions in

computational complexity inherent in adjoint methods with the ability to

solve, for temporal (i.e., trajectory) learning, the adjoint equations forward in

time. Not only is a large amount of computation and storage saved, but the

handling of real-time applicati_ons becomes also possible:

Learning time is reduced by one tO two orders of magnitude in comparison

to the best previousiy published benchmark results, while trajectory tracking

is also significantly improved.

This work also lays the foundations for new approaches to nonlinear system

identification, and efficient spatio-temporal pattern processing. The

methodology was transferred both outside JPL (e.g., to NSA) and within the

laboratory, e.g., to the JPL Technology Thrust on Control of RobotEnvironment Interaction, and to the Precision Segmented Reflector space

application.

68
Discovered new method for global optimization of multiextremal functions

based on the novel concept of "Terminal Repeller Unconstrained Subenergy

Tunneling". The new method was demonstrated to be over 100 times faster

than competing state-of-the-art approaches on the standard SIAM

benchmarks. It should be highly valuable for many space, energy, and

defense applications.

Developed methodology enabling the solution of certain classes of partial

differential equations on synchronous neural hardware. The corresponding

algorithms were implemented and benchmarked (in simulation) on the

Kortewegde Vries (soliton) equations. In view of the projected computational

capabilities of neural optoelectronic hardware, this breakthrough approach

is expected to have a profound, long-term impact on modeling complex

phenomena in geophysics, space science, and aeronautics, of relevance to

NASA, DOD, and DOE.

Developed a new generation of time-parallel algorithms for solution of

parabolic partial differential equations, which are suitable for implementation

on emerging massively parallel MIMD architectures such as the Caltech/JPL

Delta.

Developed the NEIMO method for high-speed molecular dynamics

simulations. Currently collaborating with Goddard group at Caltech to use

the method for material and biomolecular simulation applications.

Initiated a focused program, with significant near- and long-term potential,

for development of "Intelligent Neuroprocessors for Launch Vehicle Health

Monitoring (VHM)". The program is intended to: (i) fulfill a very high-priority

technology need for User Codes NASA/OSF and NASAJOSE; (ii) represent

the first aggressive effort to transition and adapt neuroprocessor hardware

building blocks developed at JPL to support the agency's mainline activities;

(iii) serve as a major vehicle for transitioning and validating neural devices

and algorithms for interfacing of analog neuroprocessor hardware to existing

flight (digital) systems under very stringent performance conditions; (iv)

establish JPL as a primary foundry for neural systems and advanced neural

and analog computing devices within NASA; and (v) foster synergistic

technical and programmatic collaborations with NASA centers and industry

in the area of neural networks.

Developed a new generation of parallel algorithms which achieve the time

lower bound of O(IogN) in solving various multibody system problems with

application to spacecraft and robot manipulator dynamics simulation.

Completed the implementation of parallel/vector algorithms and

architectures for real-time hardware in-the-loops simulation of the Cassini

Project.

69
Completed the delivery of the DARTS real-time dynamics simulator for the

Cassini spacecraft to the Cassini project.

Designed and implemented an end-to-end, state-of-the-art

computational testbed to conduct real-time experiments in high-performance

sensor-based neurocontrol for robotic applications in rock coring, RAEVA,

and microsampling.

Optical Processing

Invented a self-amplified angularly multiplexed beam formation technique

for programmable electronic interconnection and neural optical computing

applications. The technique utilizes an electrically-addressed spatial light

modulator for the dynamic writing of specific computer-generated

holographic (CGH) gratings and the two-beam coupling energy transfer

effect in photorefractive crystals for self-amplification of optically retrieved

beam patterns. These memorized beam patterns serve as basis functions

from which a variety of complicated beam patterns can be formed in parallel

to satisfy specific functional requirements in designated applications. For

example, 24 basis patterns can generate 107 different beam patterns via the

control of a digital PC.

Discovered a novel modified signed-digit (MSD) high-speed and highdata-throughput optical computing technique. The technique is based on an

operation in which spatially encoded input matrices are multiply imaged

using optical fan-out elements and correlated selectively with a set of

specifically designed spatial filters. Subtraction can be converted into

addition by means of a complement code.

Data Storage

Demonstrated successful bias field matching between minor loop storage

areas and input/output and read/write gate areas in Vertical Bloch Line

memories.

Demonstrated magnetic domain and domain wall imaging using

tunneling-stabilized magnetic force microscopy in Vertical Bloch Line

memory material.

Demonstrated a magnetic gallium arsenide random-access memory test

cell.

Software Engineering and Computer Science

Increased the focus of the task from software components (algorithms) to

include all forms of information. The system has been ported from the

Macintosh environment to a UNIX X-windows environment supporting

remote operations.

Developed and simulated a simulation model for a multiring shufflenet

with permutation engine switching nodes at 100% of I/O capacity with

routing latency of 1.5 times the theoretical minimum.

Advanced Networking

Developed a simple distributed control structure to realize a switching

node with constant routing latency for packet asynchronous optical data. The

control structure is designated as a permutation engine.

Devised a superset network (supernet) architecture using existing network

topologies and routing algorithms with multiple, dynamically interconnected

routing planes to result in a high-bandwidth, low-latency communication

network.

Communications

Designed and laid out a high-speed networking HIPPI Extender card.

The card has full-duplex communication capabilities and will provide a

1.2- GHz input signal to a laser diode, which is part of a four-LD array

transmitter developed in house.

IV. Custom Microcircuits

PI__ PAGE BL/I_IK NOT FILMED

OVERVIEW

The goals of this program are to develop custom microcircuit technology, also

known as application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) technology, for use in flight

and ground programs. Supporting this effort are activities to investigate the effects

of the space environment, and particularly ionizing radiation, on microcircuits and

to develop a space qualification methodology. Another aspect of the program

emphasizes innovative applications of custom microcircuit technology to image

and signal processing and communications.

1992 MAJOR TECHNICAL ACHIEVEMENTS

Space Qualification Methodology

Observed the March 1991 solar flare in the JPL p-FETs on board the

CRRES (Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite) and presented

the results at the 1992 Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference in

New Orleans (July 1992)

Designed a test coupon for the Honeywell 1060 Gate Array to be used to

assess the reliability of flight gate arrays.

Developed the RADMON (radiation monitor) for the STRV (Space

Technology Research Vehicle) to be launched in December 1993.

Installed a wafer-level parametric test system (hp4062) to be used in

testing microelectronic test chips.

Began development Of a reliability tester to be used to evaluate the

reliability of microelectronic test chips fabricated along with integrated

circuits and sensors (CCDs).
