Description
The United States Department of Commerce (DOC), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Acquisition Management Division (AMD) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, with CAMECA INSTRUMENTS, INC, 5470 NOBEL DR, FITCHBURG, WI 53711-4963 for the purchase of a base plus 41 option year service agreement for the NIST owned LEAP 4000x Si instrument to be utilized by NIST-s CHIPS Metrology R&D Program. The statutory authority for this acquisition is 41 USC 3304(a)(1); FAR 13.106-1(b).
The semiconductor supply chain is global, specialized, and interconnected. Chipmakers do business with thousands of individual suppliers that provide the highly complex materials and tools used to produce semiconductors. To address the lack of full visibility into the semiconductors markets supply chain and R&D ecosystem gaps NIST will conduct the measurement science, or metrology, critical to the development of new materials, packaging, and production methods in chip manufacturing.
Laser-assisted atom probe tomography (hereafter abbreviated as “LEAP”) is of significant importance in this regard since it is the only means available to perform sub-nm-resolved 3D chemical mapping of advanced engineered solid materials. Such engineered nanostructures may be layered or segmented and consist of arbitrary chemical composition and irregular geometric shape. The proposed acquisition for continued maintenance and service of the CAMECA LEAP 4000x Si (serial number 5020) is therefore mission-critical to the CHIPS Metrology R&D Program.
Our efforts are directly aligned with the NIST mission [http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/mission.cfm] for advancing measurement science, standards, and technology. This work also conforms to NIST's vision of being a world leader in critical measurement solutions for semiconductor manufacturers in the United States. Moreover, our work matches NIST core values which include meeting or exceeding the expectations of NIST cus...
