Description

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; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). Requirement is for 1 ea. CV Characterization system complete with control software and computer including training as outlined in the following specifications: System shall include a central Windows NT based work station with 2 SMUs ( Source-Measure Units) and expansion slots for up to 6 additional SMUs . The base workstation shall include a 12 in. (diag.) display, external SVGA monitor connection, and RS-232, GPIB, and Ethernet ports, a 30 GB Hard drive, Keyboard with pointing device. The included SMUs shall have capability as follows: SMU 1 : 12 current ranges for sourcing and measuring from 1 pA full scale to 100mA full scale; Resolution: 100 aA to 100 nA measuring and 1.5 fA to 5 uA sourcing; 4 Voltage ranges, from 200 mV to 200 V sourcing and measuring; Resolution: 1 uV to 200uV measuring and 5 uV to 5 mV sourcing; Maximum output: 21 V at 100 mA range, 210 V at 10 mA range. All inputs and outputs available via remote pre-Amplifier with 2 meter extension cable. SMU 2 : 7 current ranges for sourcing and measuring from 100 nA full scale to 100mA full scale; Resolution : 100 fA to 100 nA measuring and 5 pA to 5 uA sourcing; 4 Voltage ranges, from 200 mV to 200 V sourcing and measuring; Resolution : 1 uV to 200uV measuring and 5 uV to 5 mV sourcing; Maximum output 21 V at 100 mA range, 210 V at 10 mA range. ;Add-on slots to accommodate up to six additional SMUs, which shall have the same capabilities as SMU 1 or 2 or up to four of the six expansion slots shall accommodate SMU with similar capabilities as SMU 1 or 2 except with higher power capacity, up to 1 A at 21 Volts.; The main workstation shall operate both the SMUs installed in the main workstation (for IV measurements) and also external CV instruments installed in the system (for CV measurements). The CV instruments shall be capable of performing a simultaneous CV measurement, completing a Quasi-Static CV measurement and a High Frequency CV measurement in the same sweep. The Simultaneous CV measurements shall be able to conduct measurements at the following ranges and rates: Quasi-Static: 3 ranges, from 200 pF to 20 nF full scale with resolution from 10 fF to 1 pF, with voltage steps of 10, 20, 50 and 100mV at step times of 0.07 to 199.99 seconds. High Frequency: 1 MHz, 3ranges from 20 pF to 2 nF full scale with resolution from 100fF to 1 pF . Voltage steps as set by the Quasi-Static capability. 100kHz, 4 ranges from 2 pF to 2 nF full scale with Resolution from 0.1 fF to 100fF . Voltage steps as set by the Quasi-Static capability. An 8 x 12 low current matrix switch shall be included in the system to facilitate exclusive software controlled switching via remote GUI interfacing of the SMUs and CV instruments up to 12 pins of an external prober or fixture. The system shall be delivered with the two outputs of the CV instrumentation connected to 2 inputs of the matrix and 2 outputs from each SMU connected to 4 of the inputs of the matrix. The matrix switch shall have 2 pathways optimized for CV measurements and 2 pathways optimized for low currents (with offset current of 1 pA maximum and path isolation of greater than 10 terraohms). The matrix switch shall not be wired for remote sensing of either SMU, but the unused 2 pathways shall allow for the option to be wired in the future for remote sense operation of one of the SMUs.; Software: Included software shall provide a Windows NT operating system, and an interactive device characterization software as follows: Point-and-click configuration of the SMUs for IV tests.; Point-and click configuration of the CV instruments for the CV tests.; Multitasking operation to allow analysis while executing tests.; A user library tool kit for integrating custom algorithms into the interactive environment.; A configuration utility for defining the matrix switch pin outs.; Built-in excel style spread sheet with a wide range of data transformation equations for analysis.; Direct .xls file export.;A library of common IV and CV tests.; Factory supplied constants shall include, as a minimum, Pi, Q, K, to facilitate rapid calculation of CV analysis.; The CV analysis capability shall include extraction of : Oxide Thickness, Series Resistance, Flatband C and V,Threshold Voltage, Bulk Doping, Debye Length, Bulk Potential, Average Doping, Interface Trap Density, Effective Oxide Charge Density. ; Rack height: Total rack height including workstation with SMUs, CV instruments, and matrix switch not to exceed 41".; System Power: The system rack shall include a Master Power Control panel requiring only a single 115 VAC connection. Total power consumption for the system not to exceed 600 VA.; System shall be fully assembled and tested as a system. The test results shall be provided on a standard silicon MOS capacitor.
