About this award

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $178,228.40 to Formfactor, Inc. on September 20, 2024, for a probe station designed to support CMOS device characterization for biophysical measurements. The equipment will be delivered to a location in Germany and is scheduled for completion by January 10, 2025. This procurement was conducted as an unrestricted acquisition with no small business set-aside. Formfactor, a publicly traded semiconductor test and measurement equipment manufacturer headquartered in Livermore, California, is well-positioned to fulfill this requirement given its extensive experience providing specialized scientific instrumentation to federal agencies.

The probe station must meet NIST's detailed technical specifications for the Biophysics and Biomedical Measurements Group, including capabilities for DC and low-frequency measurements up to 10 megahertz, current vs. voltage and capacitance vs. voltage characterization, and support for samples up to 200 millimeters in diameter. Key features required include semi-automated functionality with motorized stage operation, machine vision capability with 10-megapixel or higher resolution, scripting and automation tools for repeatable test programs, eight or more DC probe positioners, and collision detection systems to protect sensitive biological samples. Formfactor's track record of delivering advanced cryogenic systems, specialized probe stations, and measurement platforms across multiple federal research environments demonstrates its capacity to meet these sophisticated requirements.
