- Description
- It is the intent of the U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA Acquisitions & Grants Office, to negotiate on a sole source basis with Attocube Systems, AG, for award of a contract to provide one each, of a scanning confocal microscope (CFM). The contract will provide a CFM that shall perform metrology or single semiconductor quantum dots, nanopatterened devices, and semiconductor waveguides. Due to the nature of these measurements (small feature sizes, low temperature environment and small signal levels) the performance requirements for this system are extremely rigorous. After conducting market research, the Government has found only one supplier (Attocube) that offers a low temperature measurement CFM that is designed to be inserted into a helium bath and is designed to reach 4.2 K and meet the stability specifications. The Government?s salient characteristics are detailed below. 1. The CFM shall be able to operate in a Helium bath with the sample temperature variable between 4.2 and 70 Kelvin. In addition, the CFM shall be operable in magnetic fields up to 7 Tesla. 2. The CFM shall be able to image a single quantum dot for a period of at least two days. This requires stability greater than 50 nm over this two day period. 3. The CFM shall be operable in both the transmission and reflection mode. 4. Resolution shall be diffraction limited 5. Excitation/Emission Wavelength: 950-1100 nm. 6. The CFM shall be capable of taking 2D and 3D single scans as a function of time. The system shall also include a suitable computer and user friendly software for interfacing with the microscope. Included in this software shall be image-processing and 3D visualization tools. Data collected from the microscope scans shall be stored in a suitable format for export to third party software. NOTE: THIS NOTICE MAY HAVE POSTED ON FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (09-JUL-2007). IT ACTUALLY APPEARED OR REAPPEARED ON THE FEDBIZOPPS SYSTEM ON 05-SEP-2007, BUT REAPPEARED IN THE FTP FEED FOR THIS POSTING DATE. PLEASE CONTACT fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
