SUBJECT: Sole source - Thermo-Optical Plane Source Thermal Conductivity Measurement Instrument
SOLICITATION NUMBER: NB643090-25-01807
RESPONSE DATE: 07/07/25
DESCRIPTION:
The National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), requires an instrument that can provide non-destructive, non-contact, and spatially resolved thermal conductivity measurements for solids, liquids, pastes, gels, and foams that have a broad range of shape, size, and surface roughness. NIST requires a direct measurement of thermal conductivity that does not require numerical input values for heat capacity, density, or sample dimensions, enabling high-throughput, rapid characterization and analysis. The instrument will generate reliable data for NIST researchers and for semiconductor industry partners to improve thermal management in semiconductor microelectronics packaging. To further this mission, NIST requires a Thermo-Optical Plane Source.
The Thermo-Optical Plane Source (TOPS) technique utilizes laser heating and infrared pyrometry to provide non-contact, non-destructive, and direct measurements of thermal conductivity. It can be implemented to characterize a wide variety of material forms, including ceramics, metals, pastes, liquids, polymers, composites, thermal interface materials, foams, and gels. Measurement of these material forms is extremely difficult and currently not a capability at NIST. Since TOPS provides a direct measurement of thermal conductivity, there is no analysis requirement to input assumed values for heat capacity, density, or sample dimensions, a typical limitation of other thermal conductivity measurement methods. Other thermal conductivity measurement methods also require the sensor to be in direct contact with the sample, leading to parasitic thermal contact errors. TOPS eliminates the need for extensive sample preparation like dim...
