Description

NIST-SS25-CHIPS-0027

Title: High-pressure xPS System

The purpose of this sources sought notice is to conduct market research and identify potential sources of commercial products/services that satisfy the Government-s anticipated needs.

BACKGROUND

Advanced in situ and operando methods for real-time monitoring of the chemical status of wafer surfaces, thin films, and interfaces are essential for semiconductor process development and control. NIST is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing a commercial item solution that meets or exceeds the criteria below.

The required setup consists of a differentially pumped μ-metal shielded Ambient-Pressure (AP) xPS spectrometer (also denoted as Near-Ambient-Pressure (NAP)) equipped with 2D electron detector and x-ray source capable of providing an intense, focused x-ray beam to the sample under elevated pressures. Both the APxPS analyzer and x-ray source are connected to the custom-made reaction chamber made of non-magnetic materials, where the elevated-pressure reactive environment is maintained. The pressure in the reaction chamber varies from UHV to a few Torr, and its gaseous composition includes (but is not limited to) N2, He, H2, Ar, O2, CH4, CF4, and H2O and their mixtures. The reaction chamber has its own pumping system and controls.

AP(NAP) xPS analyzer operates under the above-specified pressure conditions, providing at least a few kcps Ag 3d5/2 count rate at a few Torr pressures from the Ag test sample exited by a designated Al Kα x-ray source. As large as possible: the working distance of the analyzer, electron kinetic energy range (typically 20 eV to 1500 eV and beyond), as well as the highest spectral and spatial resolution, are required.

The designated x-ray source is equipped with a highly x-ray transparent membrane window that can withstand the pressure differential with the reaction chamber. The source provides highly focused monochromatized A...
