*****THIS IS A COMBINED SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE***.
BACKGROUND
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Materials Measurement Laboratory, Materials Science and Engineering Division (https://www.nist.gov/mml/materials-science-and-engineering-division) is on the market for a video rate electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy. The simplest path to attain this capability is by upgrading the electronics and control system of our existing conventional electrochemical scanning tunneling microscope (ECSTM) that is presently limited to conventional slow scan rates, e.g. 36 lines per sec. The new system will intercept signals from our existing microscope and add fast x,y,z waveforms while simultaneously monitoring the response signal, such as the tunneling current, through a fast analog to digital converter. The advanced fast scan and video imaging capability are needed to study electrochemical deposition and etching processes relevant to the fabrication of advanced microelectronics chips and devices. Video rate ECSTM imaging will enable measurement of surfactant adsorbate dynamics that operate during electrochemical deposition of metals and to track how such adsorbates and their phase transitions influence morphological and microstructural evolution during metal deposition. The proposed research will help reveal how phenomena at atomistic and mesoscopic length scale impacts macroscopic outcomes. In addition to imaging the control system should off the option of having the ability to track the surface diffusion of individual molecules or adatom, a process known as atom tracking. Once integrated within our existing system the new controller and system should enable seamless transitions between slow scan imaging with our existing conventional scanner and the new high speed video rate scanning or atom tracking functions. The high-speed control system should have its own control algorithms... - Documents:
