Description

Announcement Type: Special NoticeClassification Code: 6695

Announcement Number: NB683130-25-02480

Subject: Notice of Intent to Noncompetitively Acquire Custom Silicon Carbide transistors

This notice is not a request for a quotation. A solicitation document will not be issued and quotations will not be requested.

This acquisition is being conducted under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) via FAR 13.106-1(b). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) requires the design and fabrication of custom silicon carbide transistors on pre-diced 5 x 5 mm2 substrates. The substrates must be provided by NIST and will have an epitaxial layer with modified isotopic ratio. The transistors will be used to further our research of quantum-based magnetic field sensors with the goal of improving SWAP-C optimization of the technology for a variety of application spaces.

The nanoscale device characterization division requires custom silicon carbide transistors to be fabricated on NIST-owned silicon carbide dies which are 5 x 5 mm^2 in size. The custom transistors must be fabricated on the existing substrates, as they include an especially rare expitaxial layer of silicon carbide with adjusted isotopic ratios. The procured transistors will be the first of their kind, and will be used as the basis of optimized, quantum-based magnetic field sensors. After thorough evaluation, it has been determined that the custom silicon carbide transistors from manufacturer, CoolCAD Electronics, LLC, are essential for several reasons:



Technical: While the design and fabrication of silicon carbide transistors on an industrial scale (dozens of full wafers with 100s of die each) is possible, NIST does not require fabrication on an industrial sized scale, and it is extremely cost-prohibitive to the agency....
