["DE-LC0000023, Microelectronic Devices for Energy Efficiency Scaling"]
["Question #","Date Submitted","Topic","Question","Answer"]
[1,"2023-04-27","Application Content/Format","The email address for specific questions is not working - is there an updated email address to use?","We apologize for the error.  The lab call was modified on 4/28/2023 to correct the email address for specific questions about this Lab Call throughout the lab call document.  The correct email address is: micro.electronics@ee.doe.gov "]
[2,"2023-04-27","Technical Topics","From p. 5, “The intent of this Lab Call is to support manufacturing and other R&D on prototype devices to advance them to at least TRL 6 where they are ready to be matured and commercialized in lab/industry partnerships.” There is a contradiction between the TRL 6 requirement and the words used in the call that is specific to the microelectronics area. From Appendix C, TRL 6 involves “System/subsystem model or prototype demonstration in a relevant environment.” In microelectronics, only the major commercial players have access to the tools necessary to do this, and so the industry often picks up ideas at lower TRL levels “to be matured and commercialized in lab/industry partnerships” (p. 5). This wording is also consistent with the call saying “In this topic, DOE is only interested in supporting higher TRL R&D on devices that have already been proved as concepts” (p. 11). This strongly implies moving an idea from “proof of concept” (TRL 3, Appendix C) to “targeting component validation in a laboratory environment” (TRL 4, Appendix C), which is also an appropriate point for industrial engagement. Should we heed the TRL 6 requirement, or the wording in the call?","Appendix C includes EERE's standard TRL definitions, which may not specifically match up with the microelectronics area. Applicants should adhere to the written instructions in the Lab Call when there is a discrepancy in the definition of TRL 6 in the Lab Call and Appendix C."]
[3,"2023-05-03","Labs/FFRDCs","Our team would like to clarify the application requirements for this call. Typically lab calls do not require a work proposal or authorization for FFRDCs; just want to confirm that these are actually required and not leftover in the call by mistake.","Work proposals and authorizations are marked “if applicable” in the lab call; in Exchange these are optional items and not required for submission."]
[4,"2023-05-10","Labs/FFRDCs","To whom should the contracting officer’s authorization letter for the subject lab call be addressed?  ","As noted in answer to previous question, work proposals and authorizations are marked “if applicable” in the lab call; in Exchange these are optional items and not required for submission.  If submitted, they can be addressed to \"Lab Call Manager\"."]
[null,"2023-05-24","Due Dates","Will the deadline be extended?","Yes, the deadline has been extended to June 6th."]
