The requirement is for an add-on to an MDC Vacuum Products sample carrier system. MDC is providing a package of catalog items in addition to design and development of capability custom to the award and application. Specifically, MDC has designed a sample carrier system for transporting industry standard 3" wafers and NIST custom shadow masks between storage locations and a manipulator that is compatible with the UHV environment for supporting the materials deposition mission of the package acquired. The solutions are proprietary to the manufacturer. This additional capability is required in order to controllably produce oxides, nitrides, and other molecular compounds from the materials deposited in the system acquired. This module will consist of a custom vacuum chamber, custom UHV compatible electrode and sample elevator system, list of standard catalog parts and sample transfer capability that must operate compatibly with the MDC designs generated. Since the sample transfer system in all its components is custom and proprietary to MDC, it is necessary to work with the directly for the addition of this module to the overall system. Only MDC Vacuum Products can do the add-on. There are no other re-sellers. Delivery shall be FOB Destination, Gaithersburg, MD.
