- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for an ion beam sputter/ etching system. The system has the following required specifications: 1.) Ability to perform ion beam sputtering and ion beam etching. 2.) Ability to perform etching and sputtering to a single sample without breaking vacuum. 3.) Ability to sputter multiple metals without breaking vacuum. 4.) Must have a high vacuum (10 ? 7 torr) base pressure. 5.) Must be able to deposit oxide free metal films, which requires the ability to sputter the target without sputtering onto the sample. 6.) Minimal sample heating must occur during sputtering, which requires sputtering energies less than 50eV. 7.) The sample must be able to be tilted and rotated during the sputtering. 8.) A quartz crystal thickness monitor is required. 9.) Deposition rates of 0.1 angstrom/sec are required. 10.) Samples of up to two (2) inches in diameter need to fit into the chamber with the capacity to increase that size to four (4) inches. 11.) Sample exchange should take approximately five minutes, but must not take longer than ten minutes. 12.) Must have a high vacuum gauge. 13.) Must be able to use a 110V/15A power outlet. 14.) System must fit on a counter top with a 20-inch height by 30-inch width by 25-inch depth. The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 01-14.
