Description

Title THIS SBIR PHASE I PROJECT WILL DEMONSTRATE MONOLAYER AND DUAL LAYER COATING OF SIC FIBER BY LEVERAGING LASER CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION TECHNIQUES DEVELOPED BY FREE FORM FIBERS FOR DIRECT FIBER PRODUCTION. CERAMIC FIBERS, PARTICULARLY SIC, MUST BE COATED IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE FIBERS FROM OXIDIZING ENVIRONMENTS, AND TO ALLOW THEIR USE IN SIC CMC'S. FFF'S LCVD TECHNIQUES CAN BE MODIFIED FOR FAST, HIGH PURITY COATING. THE PHASE I EFFORT INCLUDES CREATING A CUSTOM REACTOR THAT LEVERAGES FFF'S EXISTING GAS PRECURSOR DELIVERY INFRASTRUCTURE, AND PASSING EXISTING MONOFILAMENT SIC FIBER THROUGH THE REACTOR TO COAT WITH BN IN REAL TIME. REVERSING DIRECTION AND COATING THE COATED FIBER WITH SIC WILL BE DONE FOR DUAL LAYER COATING. PHASE II WOULD SCALE THE PROCESS TO SERIALLY DUALCOAT A UNIDIRECTIONAL MOVING PARALLEL ARRAY OF HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS OF MOVING FIBERS. IF SUCCESSFUL, INDUSTRY WOULD FINALLY HAVE A RELIABLE IN-LINE APPROACH TO FIBER COATING PRIOR TO TOW PRODUCTION, BECAUSE SPREADING AND COATING ALREADY-SIZED TOWS IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. BASED ON PRIOR COATING EXPERIENCE AND OTHER RELATED PROPOSALS, PHASE I WORK WOULD TAKE US FROM TRL3 TO TRL4. PHASE II COULD TAKE US TO TRL4 OR TRL5, EITHER ON A FFF OR OTHER COMMERCIAL FIBER PRODUCTION FACILITY.

Description

Title IGF::OT::IGF - SBIR PHASE III - INVESTIGATION OF LASER INDUCED CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION MONOCRYSTALLINE GROWTH OF 4H-SILICON CARBIDE ALONG THE<0001>AXIS - THE COMMERCIAL INTRODUCTION OF SILICON CARBIDE (SIC) POWER ELECTRONICS IS ALREADY STARTING TO ENABLE POWER SYSTEMS THAT ARE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE EFFICIENT, LIGHTER, AND SMALLER THAN MOST OF TODAY S POWER SYSTEMS BASED ON SILICON (SI) ELECTRONICS. HOWEVER, THE ENERGY-SAVING PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY OF SIC POWER DEVICES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY DEGRADED, AND DEVICE COST SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED, BECAUSE OF A HIGH DENSITY OF DISLOCATION DEFECTS IN MASS-PRODUCED SIC SEMICONDUCTOR CRYSTALS. NASA GLENN HAS PATENTED (US PAT. 7,449,065) A TOTALLY NEW, YET EXPERIMENTALLY UNPROVEN, LARGE TAPERED CRYSTAL (LTC) CONCEPT FOR ELIMINATING THESE LIMITING DEFECTS WITH THE GOAL OF ENABLING LARGER ENERGY SAVINGS IN POWER APPLICATIONS RANGING FROM POWER GRID, ELECTRIC MOTORS&VEHICLES DOWN TO COMPUTERS AND MOBILE DEVICE CHARGERS. THE ESTIMATED BENEFIT TO NASA IS APPROXIMATELY 2-FOLD SMALLER, LIGHTER, AND MORE-EFFICIENT POWER ELECTRONICS FOR SPACECRAFT AND AIRCRAFT. PRIOR TO UNDERTAKING FULL-SCALE DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENT, AN INITIAL STEP TO EXPERIMENTALLY PROVE THE FEASIBILITY OF THE LTC CONCEPT IS DEMONSTRATING THE WORLD S FIRST GROWTH OF SIGNIFICANTLY LONG (MM TO CM LENGTH DIMENSION) HIGH-QUALITY SIC SINGLE-CRYSTAL FIBERS. THE SBIR PHASE III WITH FREE FORM FIBERS, INC (SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY) WAS INITIATED TO EXPERIMENTALLY PROVE (AS CLAIMED IN THE NASA CONCEPT PATENT) THAT LONG SINGLE-CRYSTAL FIBERS OF SIC CAN BE GROWN USING LASER-ASSISTED CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION (LASER-CVD). THE LASER PATTERNING OF THE SIC GROWTH IS NEEDED FOR FIBER FORMATION BECAUSE SIC S NATURAL (I.E., UN-PATTERNED CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC-DRIVEN) GROWTH SHAPE IS ESSENTIALLY THE OPPOSITE THAT OF THE LONG CYLINDRICAL FIBER SHAPE THAT IS DESIRED FOR LTC IMPLEMENTATION. THIS PHASE III JOINT DEVELOPMENT ADVANTAGEOUSLY LEVERAGES FREE FORM S EXPERIENCE IN LASER-CVD GROWTH OF MATERIALS OTHER THAN SIC WITH NASA GLENN S PIONEERING WORLD-RENOWNED EXPERTISE IN SIC CRYSTAL GROWTH. NASA GLENN IS PROVIDING SPECIALLY PREPARED MICRO-PATTERNED SIC CRYSTALS, WHICH ARE USED AS THE SEEDING POINTS FOR LASER-CVD GROWTH INITIATION AT FREE FORM. EXPERIMENTS AIMED AT FIBER GROWTH INITIATION ON THESE SEEDS ARE IN PRESENTLY IN PROGRESS AT FREE FORM.

Capabilities Narrative High Performance Fibers (HPFs) are sought when a combination of extreme material properties is required which cannot be met by existing metal filaments or by carbon, glass, vegetal or mineral fibers. Of the many advanced materials known, only a select few have been made into HPF and, until now, there has been no generic process by which fibers from such materials could be formed. Thus far, the manufacture of a given HPF has required an ad-hoc process and unique technology platform that is usually not appropriate for other materials. Closely associated with these are long development times, unique technical challenges, major capital investments and significant development costs. All of these issues have inflated costs and held back growth of the HPF industry and industries dependent on it. Our objective is to change the game and make new fiber materials available to our customers – quickly and inexpensively.
