SAAZ MICRO, INC.

SAAZ MICRO, INC. specializes in the design, modeling, and fabrication of advanced readout integrated circuits (ROICs) for high-performance imaging systems, with a focus on radiation-hardened, asynchronous, and extended-wavelength infrared technologies. The company excels in developing custom analog and mixed-signal ICs for event-based sensors, staircase avalanche photodiode (APD) arrays, and adaptive optical-infrared detector systems, enabling high-dynamic-range imaging under extreme environmental conditions. Their technical expertise spans semiconductor device physics, low-noise circuit design, asynchronous signal processing, and radiation-tolerant architectures—critical for defense, space, and remote sensing applications. SAAZ MICRO’s ability to deliver end-to-end ROIC solutions from concept to prototype distinguishes them as a niche innovator in sensor electronics for mission-critical platforms. The contractor maintains a consistent presence with the Department of Defense, delivering SBIR-phase research and development for next-generation imaging and sensor systems, particularly in radiation-hardened electronics and autonomous sensing. They also support the Department of the Interior with advanced infrared imaging technologies for environmental monitoring and remote sensing, and have delivered specialized R&D to NASA for large-format, high-dynamic-range optical-infrared detector arrays. These engagements reflect a pattern of deep technical collaboration on early-stage innovation programs requiring rapid prototyping and rigorous performance validation. SAAZ MICRO operates primarily under NAICS 541715, focusing on physical and engineering research that bridges semiconductor design and electro-optical system integration. Their work is concentrated in defense, aerospace, and Earth observation markets, where high-reliability, low-power, and radiation-tolerant sensor electronics are essential. The company is positioned as a specialized developer of custom imaging ASICs, serving government programs that demand proprietary sensor architectures beyond commercial off-the-shelf solutions. Based in Camarillo, California, SAAZ MICRO, Inc. is a small, privately held business with no federal certifications on record. Its geographic proximity to key defense and aerospace hubs enhances its ability to collaborate with federal laboratories and research institutions, solidifying its role as a responsive, technically agile provider in the federal R&D ecosystem.
