1.0 SCOPE:

1.1 TITLE: EDAX X-Ray Spectroscopy Tool Preventative Maintenance Service Contract

1.2 APPLICABILITY: Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA), Radiation Test and Validation Group

1.3 BACKGROUND: The EDAX X-Ray Spectroscopy tools are tools the Validation group uses for Failure Analysis (FA) of semiconductors. There are three (3) total tools, two (2) Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS) systems and one (1) Wavelength Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (WDS) system. The tools are composed of various complex X-Ray Microscope components that need to be in precise calibration at all times. The EDS systems each contain a Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) that are used to detect the excited X-Rays.

1.4 PURPOSE: To purchase a comprehensive preventative maintenance service contract to ensure the proper function and maximum accuracy and precision of the tool to minimize downtime. The purchase shall include one (1) base year and four (4) option years. The service contract should only cover the EDAX EDS Detector for Helios 660, serial number 4773.
