BACKGROUND
Several mission-critical research projects such as Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) program, Additive Manufacturing Benchmark Test Series (AM-Bench), Computational Materials for Qualification and Certification (CM4QC), and the NIST Center for Automotive Lightweighting (NCAL), rely on Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) measurements with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) and Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) for mission-critical tasks and deliverables. Current instrumentation is insufficient to meet current and projected needs. Procuring an additional analytical FE-SEM with EDS and EBSD will support materials measurement, microstructural characterization, compositional analysis, crystallographic ...
