About this file
This is a Requirements/Specification Document for procurement of a cryogenic gas delivery system for carbon doping in molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) applications at NIST's Physics Measurements Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado.
The primary requirement is one cryogenic system capable of delivering CBr4 (carbon tetrabromide) gas to an MBE system with UHV compatibility. The system must deliver doping in the range of 1e16 cm⁻³ to 1e20 cm⁻³ in MBE-grown GaAs at 1 monolayer/second, be compatible with VEECO molly software and a dual gas/solid source injector on a VEECO GEN10 MBE, house the CBr4 bottle in a sealed and temperature-controlled vented cabinet, include heated injection lines to prevent condensation, and maintain closed-loop pressure control with stability of less than 0.2 mTorr. The system must be an established commercial product with at least one operational unit in the field—experimental or prototype items are unacceptable. It must be new (not refurbished) and covered by the original manufacturer's full warranty, with no gray market components. The manufacturer shall test the system on-site before shipping and provide all temperature and pressure data for verification. Delivery is expected six months after order receipt to NIST-Boulder, Attention Kevin Silverman, Mail Stop 686.04, 325 Broadway, Boulder, CO 80305. Installation requirements include vendor technician on-site for uncrating, unpackaging, and equipment setup. The system shall include a one-year manufacturer warranty covering parts, and electronic manuals must be provided. Acceptance is expected within seven business days of delivery.

Requirements / Specification Document
Use this document to detail the specifications/requirements for an item and/or ancillary services.
TITLE: CBr4 Gas Delivery System for Carbon doping of MBE grown devices
Requesting Laboratory / Division / Group:
Physics Measurements Laboratory Applied Physics Division Quantum Nanophotonics Group, 686.10
General Statement of Need:
Division 686 is involved in a series projects involving single quantum dots (artificial atoms), and their application as single and entangled photon pair sources. These quantum dots are prepared by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). When the MBE system was installed in 2011 in included a carbon tetrabromide (CBr4) gas source system to supply carbon during material growth. The gas delivery system of the CBr4 source has failed and is no longer serviceable by the manufacturer and requires replacement. This system is necessary for the growth of quantum dot structures.
Item Specifications and Quantities:
Item 1: Cryogenic system
Quantity: 1 Specifications: Base cryostat specifications:
1.1 Product should be a low-temperature gas source system the delivers
CBr4 gas to and MBE system and be compatible with UHV.
1.2 The system should be capable of doping in the range of 1e16 cm^3 to
1e20 cm^3 in MBE grown GaAs at 1 monolayer/s
1.2 Must be compatible with VEECO molly software.
1.3 Must be compatible with a dual gas source/solid source injector system on a VEECO GEN10 MBE
1.4 CBr4 bottle must be housed in a sealed and vented cabinet that is temperature controlled.
1.5 Injection lines must be heated to avoid condensation of CBr4 gas
1.6 Closed loop pressure control of gas supplied to the MBE must have stability of <0.2 mTorr General Specifications
3.1 The Carbon doping system must be an established commercial product with at least one unit operating successfully in the field. Experimental or prototype items are not acceptable.
3.2 The Carbon doping system shall be a new (not refurbished or reconditioned) item covered by the original manufacturer’s full warranty.
The use of “gray market” components not authorized for sale in the U.S.
by the proposer is not acceptable.
3.3 Manufacturer will test system on their site before shipping and send all temperature and pressure data for verification.
