BACKGROUND
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) requires a heated probing station with optical access and a controlled environment to integrate into a optics system The project is being pursued to support the development of electo-optical measurements of defect states to support projects in diamond magnetometry and wide-bandgap semiconductors. The probe station will be used for testing the optoelectronic behavior of defects by allowing low noise electrical measurements of defects.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a requirement for a heated probing station with optical access and a controlled environment and is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing a solution that will achieve the specifications described below:
The Contractor shall provide one (1) heated probing station with optical access and a controlled environment that meet the following minimum specifications:
The system must have a minimum of four electrical probes with 10 fA or lower noise, including low noise during heated measurements. System must allow for electrical isolation of the sample stage.
The system must allow movement of the probes using micromanipulators without breaking the environmental control (vacuum). XYZ micromanipulators can be mechanically or remotely controllable (i.e., through piezo-electric positioners) and have positional accuracy of 20 microns with
The sample mounting plate must be electrically isolated from the chamber, with external electrical connection such as a BNC or triaxial connector.
Environmental control to include vacuum down to 0.01 Torr or better, and access for gas purging
The system must evenly heat sample substrates of up to 10 mm x 10 mm up to temperature of 400° C with temperature stability of
Sample area must allow samples of 10 mm x 10 mm with thickness of up to 1 mm.
The system must be within the dimensions required by the current optics set up...
