The breakthrough Carnyx™ ionizing radiation and neutron detector enables the creation of the Global Neutron Grid™ (GNG), a high-performance wireless detector network. The GNG™ will provide the crucial early detection of weapons-grade nuclear materials (e.g. SNM) upon its introduction into the supply chain. The GNG™ will provide the deterrence for the defense of our country and of our trading partners and allies.
The Carnyx™ detector was prototyped using Silvaco's design tools for analog semiconductor processes, device and design automation solutions to simulate radiation effects on solid-state CMOS electronics. Other Silvaco tools such as SmartSpice™ and Expert™ ensured that the sensor designed by Trojan Defense would be successfully and accurately fabricated in the target foundry.
"Silvaco's tools provided the accurate circuit simulations and gave us confidence in our design prior to fabrication," said Matthew Schor, Trojan Defense founder and CEO. "It was comforting to see the circuits perform after delivery from the foundry as predicted by Silvaco's software tools."
"Silvaco has many customers that are applying our tool flow to radiation hardened ASIC designs," said J.K. Johnson, Manager of Business Development at Silvaco. "The use of our tools by Trojan Defense to design radiation softened circuits for increased radiation sensitivity really opens up the application envelope. Now, Silvaco tools are being used for homeland security and defense at a critical time."
