Description
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
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) requires an x-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (xPS) System to support activities related the semiconductor research, CHIPS for America related projects and other research and standards activities specific to advancing the NIST mission. Specifically, some of the required measurements and conditions include, but are not limited to, quantitatively evaluating materials- surface (less than 10 nm) elemental and chemical composition; probing the chemical state of semiconductor materials; removing contaminants in a minimally destructively fashion to retain chemical information; probing chemistry of buried interfaces (10 nm - 30 nm); measuring non-conductive surfaces; evaluating band structure of materials (especially semiconductors); and performing data collection in an automated fashion. The xPS system must also be capable of being expanded to include an attached chamber for sample processing and preparation. This equipment will support NIST activities, such as those related to CHIPS for America Metrology Program including, but not limited to, Nanometer-scale Planar Reference Materials; Metrology of Materials, Surfaces and Processes for Hybrid-advanced Packaging; and Electrodeposition for Interconnect Materials and Packaging, as well as many other projects.
NIST is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing a solution that will achieve the objectives described above.
REQUIREMENTS:
1.1. Base Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) System
1.1.1. All required components necessary to operate an xPS at UHV conditions
1.1.1.1. Pbase 1.1.1.2. x-ray shielding
1.1.1.3. All necessary mechanical, turbomolecular and ion vacuum pumps to achieve and maintain Pbase.
1.1.1.4. Fully i...
