- Description
- The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) China Lake, CA intends to solicit an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) on a full and open competition basis. Below is a random sampling of the proposed specifications. For a full detailed list please go to the FEDBIZOPPS website. The AFM shall consist of the components and capabilities listed below. 1) Contact Mode: Imaging using feedback on deflection. Height, deflection, and lateral force signals available. AC and Dual AC: Q-controlled imaging using feedback on amplitude. Signals include height, amplitude/phase, I/Q, deflection; both air and fluid. Force Mode: Force curve acquisition in contact or AC mode. All signals available. Lateral Force: Frictional force imaging. Nanotechnology: Built-in nanolithography/ nanomanipulation. EFM, Surface Potential, Conductive AFM, Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM), Variable Field MFM, Piezoresponse Force Microscopy, Vector PFM, Switching Spectroscopy PFM, Scanning Kelvin Probe Microscopy (SKPM), Dual AC Resonance Tracking (DART). 2) Data Acquisition, Data size is limited only by the memory on the PC (i.e., 10 million point force curves and less than 5k x 5k point images are possible). It is possible to capture data at 5MHz for up to two million points continuously or better, Scan Axes, X and Y: 90 travel in closed loop. Closed loop position control with sensor noise more than 0.5nm average deviation (Adev) in a 0.1Hz-1kHz bandwidth (BW) and sensor nonlinearity more than 0.05 percent (Adev/full travel) at full scan, or better, Z: less than 15 sensored travel in closed loop. Sensor noise more than 0.25nm Adev in a 0.1Hz-1kHz BW and sensor non-linearity less than 0.05 percent (Adev/full travel) at full scan, or better, Z height: noise more than 0.06nm Adev, 0.1Hz-1kHz BW or better. 3) Optical Lever, Noise: more than 0.03nm Adev in a 0.1Hz to 1kHz BW or better. 4) Controller Electronics a)ADCs: One 16-bit input operating at 5MHz with seven gains and a 16-bit offset. With user accessible flexibility such as five 16-bit inputs operating at 100kHz. Typically three are used for the reading of the X, Y, and Z sensors and two are available for user inputs. b)Frequency Synthesizer: Outputs from two Direct Digital Synthesizers (DDS) are summed and available on a 16-bit, 10MHz DAC. c) Frequency: DC to 2.0MHz in 2mHz increments or better. d) Amplitude: 0 to 20V(p-p) in 0.6mV increments. Amplitude, phase, and frequency of the oscillator can be controlled from software at 100kHz update rates or better. e) DACs: Six high resolution, ultra low-noise, fast 24-bit channels updated at 100kHz: two for XY scanning (14kHz bandwidth); one for Z feedback (117kHz bandwidth); and three general purpose (56kHz bandwidth). f) Digital Lock-ins: The 5MHz ADC is the input to two fully digital lock-ins that provide quadrature outputs. g) DSP: Floating point processor running at 80MHz. h) Digital Q-control: for cantilevers from 2kHz to 2MHz, i) Computer-to-Controller Communication: Universal Serial Bus (USB). j)X, Y, and Z High Voltage Outputs: minus 10 to plus 150V. k) Computer: High-performance dual-monitor Windows computer. 5) Light Source Superluminescent diode (SLD) or related light sources are desired. 6) Stage Micrometer driven stage for mechanical alignment of the cantilever tip and sample. a) Cantilevers, a large quantity (1000) of the standard cantilevers, and at least 10 each of all the available types of cantilevers to support the special scan modes. b) Digital Access Module A four-BNC digital input/output module that can plug into the AFM controller for applications such as photon counting, synchronization of user experiments to the AFM scan or general surpose digital I/O control. c) Vacuum Chuck The Vacuum Chuck is a sample holder that allows flat samples to be held without any mechanical contacts to the top surface and with no adhesives on the bottom surface. Designed to accommodate 3 in or 4 in wafers, or sample sizes between 0.8 in and 3 in. Delivery shall be 120 days from date of order. The solicitation will be posted on the Navy Electronic Commerce Online Website at http://www.neco.navy.mil and the FEDBIZOPPS website at http://vsearch2.eps.gov/servlet/searchserv;et on or about 03/29/2011. The solicitation will close on or about 05/3/2011. Award will be made on or before 6/6/2011. This acquisition is for a commercial item and will be conducted using FAR Part 12 and 13.5. The Department of Defense requires all contractors to register in the Central Contractor registration (CCR) database to receive a contract award or payment. The CCR website is http:/www.ccr/.gov. In accordance with FAR 4.1201, prospective contractors shall complete electronic annual representation and certification via the Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) at: http://orca.bpn.gov in conjunction with required registration in the CCR database. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. Responses must include information requested in the written Request for Quotation (RFQ). All responses shall be submitted in writing to the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, Code 254100D, Attn: Gayle Cline, 429 E. Bowen Rd, Mail Stop 4015, China Lake, CA 93555-6108. See Note 1.
