Title: Sources Sought Notice for UHV optics manipulators
BACKGROUND
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is embarking on a project to support the EUV lithography (EUVL) community by developing characterization of EUV scintillator materials. Many techniques for measuring spatial distribution (or image) of EUV rely on scintillators or devices that convert EUV radiation into visible light. Scintillators tend to be robust and afford the user the ability to use less costly and easier to characterize, visible light detection or imaging systems. However, their characterization requires specialized techniques and hardware which NIST must develop in order to provide accurate characterization of the performance of EUV scintillators
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a requirement for a vacuum compatible optical mounts and is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing a solution that will achieve the specifications described below:
