Swedish chipmaker Sivers Semiconductors is receiving first-year funding of $5.6 million from the Northeast Microelectronics Coalition (NEMC) Hub through the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act under the Microelectronics Commons program, executed through the Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division and the National Security Technology Accelerator (NSTXL). The main challenge is managing self-interference, which can be a billion times stronger than the intended signal, requiring highly precise circuitry. This program, in collaboration with Columbia University, BAE Systems, and other leading institutions, aims to transition the technology to product-ready implementations over the next three years, opening new opportunities in the defense sector.
