Title: Combined Sources Sought Notice and Notice of Intent for Oscillator Pump Laser
***THIS IS A COMBINED SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE***
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing a Oscillator Pump Laser. If no alternate sources are identified, the Government intends to issue a Sole Source Award to KLM Labs (4775 Walnut Street, Suite 102, Boulder, CO 80301) under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i); only one source reasonably available. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516.
BACKGROUND
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. As part of this effort, NIST has a program to develop new methods to non-destructively measure and characterize the structure of complex nanoscopic devices. This approach is based on applying an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) high-harmonic generation (HHG) light source to combine reflectometry with spatial imaging and atomic core level spectroscopy. This effort requires a stable and reliable optical regenerative amplifier that is used to generate the EUV. A critical component of that system is an integrated Ti-:sapphire oscillator that seeds the amplifier pulses. The pump laser for these oscillators has finite lifetimes, and the current one is approaching the end of its lifetime. To minimize down time, ensure performance, and reduce risk to our program, we requir... - Documents:
