Description
The United States Air Force, through the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, is conducting market research to identify potential sources capable of providing an Electron Beam Induced Current (EBIC) System. This system is intended for use by the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) to support Master's and PhD level research in materials characterization and analysis. The EBIC system must be fully compatible with the existing Zeiss Crossbeam 350 SEM, including integration with the chamber and compatibility with the SEM's scan generator. Key performance specifications include the ability to measure currents with a sensitivity of 10 picoamperes or better, an adjustable gain range from 10^3 to 10^9 V/A, and an adjustable bandwidth. The system must be capable of producing EBIC maps with a spatial resolution of 50 nanometers or better and include a micro-manipulator or nanoprobe solution for making electrical contacts within the SEM chamber. Software requirements include compatibility with Windows 10 (or specified OS) with perpetual licenses, the ability to synchronize with the SEM's scan generator for simultaneous acquisition of secondary electron images and EBIC current maps, and operation without an external network connection. The system must also be compatible with AFIT's current Clean Room facility, using standard 120 VAC power and not requiring a concrete floor pad. This is a sources sought notice for market research purposes only, and not a request for proposals.
