Advanced Ceramic High Speed and High Voltage Capacitors Navy SBIR FY2014.2 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2014.2 Topic No.: N142-123 Topic Title: Advanced Ceramic High Speed and High Voltage Capacitors Proposal No.: N142-123-0050 Firm: TRS Ceramics, Inc. 2820 East College Avenue State College, Pennsylvania 16801 Contact: Seongtae Kwon Phone: (814) 238-7485 Web Site: www.trstechnologies.com Abstract: TRS Technologies, Inc. proposes to develop volume efficient, fast discharge, high breakdown strength capacitors with stable dielectric properties for utilization in pulse power systems. The proposed ceramic capacitor will combine the best features of high energy density, low dielectric loss and high reliability. The capacitors developed on this program will have an energy density >0.6J/cc, low power dissipation (tan d<0.005), and high operation voltage and temperature. Nonlinear antiferroelectric and paraelectric material with high energy density will be fabricated with fine grained and defect free microstructure to have high breakdown strength, high energy density and high reliability through fine ceramic processing and design optimization. Benefits: The proposed program will enable development of capacitors with high energy density and high application voltage for pulse power application. Successful development and commercialization of these capacitors will enable development of compact, light weighted pulsed power supplies for wide range of applications including military directed energy systems based on aircraft, ships, and ground vehicles.
