Objective: To find sources that are qualified to meet the supplies/services as listed in section 11B. Note that the specific requirements in section C are subject to change prior to the release of any solicitation. B. The Army Research Laboratory requires a quantity of one (1) In-Situ Monitoring System for a single wafer metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) reactor, that shall be in accordance with the following salient characteristics: 1. Emissivity correct pyrometry for temperature measurement up to 1400 degrees Celsius. a. The wavelength for the Light-Emitting Diode (LED) for pyrometry measurement is between 900 and 980 nanometers (nm). b. An optical head design must accommodate the following Army Research Lab (ARL) reactor specifications: i. Optical aperature has a 5° tilted mini-conflat on a 3/8 inch (in) tube with an inner diameter of 0.37in. ii. Viewport-to-sample distance is 10in with an adjustable height of 2in (1in ascending and 1in descending). 2.An optical head must be externally mounted, that is detached from top flange of the reactor as the space on top flange is very limited. a. A Government-owned height adjustable stand (Thorlab MP250-RCH2) will be provided for use with the system, but the Contractor shall provide an extending arm, which must be designed to fit an optical head and must accommodate the following ARL reactor specifications: i. Distance between the stand and viewport is approximately 8.85in. ii. Extension of an arm must be adjustable on a 66 millimeter (mm) rail. b. Must allow X, Y, and Z translations and tilt for optical alignment. 3. Compatible with a wafer rotation speed up to 1500 revolutions per minute (rpm). a. A laser-based per-rotation triggering by directly accessing the motor shaft. 4. A monitoring system must output real-time growth rate, film thickness, and optical constant (n, k) fitting data. a. Integrated control and analysis software to measure temperature and growth rate during growth. 5. On-site installation and training of the system and software. C. Responses: All interested parties should notify this office in e-mail within the posted date. Responses shall include: (I) To what extent each of the specifications can be met. (II) Include your type of business (i.e. commercial, academia), whether your organization is classified as a large or small business based on the 1,000 employees standard standard that accompanies NAICS code 334516.
