BACKGROUND
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.
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.
With this goal in mind, the Photonics and Optomechanics Group is seeking a microwave source, or signal generator, for characterizing microwave acoustic devices. This source will be used to electrically drive piezoelectric microwave acoustic resonators at frequencies up to 67 GHz. Electrical and optical measurements will be performed on these devices to better understand their dynamics, loss mechanisms, and material properties.
The project is investigating the dynamics of piezoelectric microwave acoustic resonators and their materials at unprecedented frequencies. Electrical and optical measurements are being used to measure resonance frequencies, mode shapes, acoustic velocities, loss mechanisms, and nonlinear behavior. A 67 GHz microwave source will be used to excite these resonators with varying frequency and power while measuring the output current and displacement of the resonators. Swept-frequency measurements will provide a complete analysis of microwave acoustic resonators and provide critical information needed to develop the next generation of 5G and millimeter-wave filters and oscillators.
NIST anticipates procuring the above described supply and is seeking information from manufacturers capable of meeting the following needs:
