- Description
- NASA/JSC has a requirement for a Cressington 208HR High Resolution Sputter CoaterDry System.NASA/JSC intends to purchase this item from Ted Pella, Inc.The Cressington 208HR High Resolution Sputter Coater System will be utilized to sputtercoat and electronically conduct film/coating on to terrestrial and extraterrestrialsamples for analysis on a nine Ebeam instrument. This oil free unit will replace aging(and failing) equipment and will not contaminate the valuable, extraterrestrial samplesin our laboratory. The unit contains a unique Rotary/Planetary/Tilting sample stage thatenables metal coating of high-relief samples for analyzing in the in-house JEOL 6340 FEGand/or JEOL 5910LV Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEMs). The unit's size and thesmall-sized coating chamber allows for rapid sample chamber pump down time compared tothat of similar instruments on the market. The sputter coater meets our requirements fora high-resolution coating and also compatible (in terms of use, maintenance, spare parts,and unique exchangeable stages) with a similar sputter coater.Ted Pella is consideredthe only responsible source uniquely qualified to fulfill our requirements for theCressington 208HR High Resolution Sputter Coater Dry System.The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform theeffort in writing to vanessa.r.beene@nasa.gov not later than 1:30 p.m. local time onAugust 20, 2009.
