Title: Sources Sought Notice for Commercial Trace Gas Analyzer
BACKGROUND
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.
NIST requires a commercial trace gas analyzer to serve as a benchmark for newly developed ultra-sensitive optical diagnostics. Current optical diagnostics relied upon by the semiconductor industry suffer from trade-offs between sensitivity and quantitation. This analyzer will be used in tandem with NIST-developed cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) to verify the performance of new analytical instrumentation and contribute to the certification of gas reference materials (RMs). This acquisition supports the CHIPS R&D Metrology Program's goal of establishing reliable data for trace impurities.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a requirement for a Commercial Trace Gas Analyzer and is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing a solution:
