B -- SPECIAL STUDIES AND ANALYSIS SOL N66001-98-R-5026 POC Contract Specialist, Ms. Jennifer Townsend, Code D213, (619)553-5199. Contracting Officer, Ms. Charmaine Joworski, (619)553-4536. POC for copy, Mr. J. C. Norris, (619)553-4331. The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center San Diego (SSC-SD) intends to negotiate a Cost Plus Fixed Fee, Indefinite Quantity Indefinite Delivery Type contract in accordance with FAR Part 15 for the following services: *ADVANCED SEMICONDUCTOR FABRICATION AND PROCESS CONTROL The Integrated Circuit Fabrication Facility (ICFF) is involved in fabricating integrated circuits (ICs) using novel materials and technologies and performing research in advanced semiconductor devices for military applications. The fabrication facility is designed for 150mm silicon on insulator (SOI) and silicon on sapphire (SOS) integrated circuit technologies at submicron dimensions in a Class 10 environment. Some of the areas of research at this facility include CMOSFET ICs, novel substrates, bipolar and heterostructure bipolar technology using alloy structures, microelectromechanical (MEMs), and photonic devices. This contract is to provide technical expertise in the development, documentation, COMPUTER SIMULATION, MAINTENANCE and execution of fabrication sequences required for the overall task and laboratory mission. This effort places a strong emphasis on computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) using FASTECH tools, statistical process control based on FASTECH software, process modeling, device simulation, and an understanding of circuit design, manufacture and testing. Technical, engineering, and operator personnel of processes and equipment (including preventative maintenance and repair) shall be required. Gathering of the information in the fabrication facility on a regularly scheduled basis for insertion into the ICFF databases shall be required. In addition, scientific expertise in areas, including radiation hardness of semiconductor devices and integrated circuits, semiconductor materials, fabrication processes, process and device simulation, testing, and other areas related to advanced state-of-the art research and prototype development of radiation hardened integrated circuits shall be part of this effort. Tasks will be provided for on a delivery order basis, and shall include the following: ICFF Data base development and management; operation of the silicon semiconductor fabrication facility; management of materials; test structure, circuit design and layout; research into processes and material requirements for semiconductor circuitry; and research on radiation hardened devices and circuits. The solicitation document will contain further information. The solicitation document will be issued approximately on 30 March 1998. Facsimile letters areacceptable at (619)553-6976. For copies of the solicitation, only written requests will be honored. (0075)
