About this file
This document is a Salient Characteristics certification for a commercial item request for a FeFET Crossbar Array Electrical Characterization System. The system must enable automated, serial testing of individual FeFET devices in a crossbar array, using 2 SMU channels to apply and measure voltages and currents, and 1 pulse generator channel. Key requirements include a maximum DC current over 100mA, current sensitivity down to 10V, minimum pulse width of 20V, bandwidth over 10MHz, and switching speed over 1000 cycles/second. The system must be based on the PXIe standard, route signals to the array without changing connections, and include software for relay monitoring, switch matrix control, data acquisition, analysis, and test sequencing. This Salient Characteristics document is associated with a Pre-Solicitation for a FeFET Crossbar Array Electrical Characterization System issued by the Department of the Army Materiel Command, Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground.

Salient Characteristics
Commercial Availability Certification:
I have evaluated the commercial marketplace and determined that all of the salient characteristics documented below are available in products/services offered in the commercial marketplace.
Signature (typed name):
Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) or Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR)
The Contractor shall provide one (1) FeFET Crossbar Array Electrical Characterization System that meets the following characteristics:
System Overview Shall enable automated, serial testing of individual FeFET (ferroelectric field-effect transistor) devices arranged in a crossbar array o Shall use 2 SMU (source/measure units) channels to apply drain-source and gate-source voltages, and measure drain and gate currents accurately (source terminal shall be grounded).
o Shall use 1 pulse generator channel to apply pulses with <100 ns (nanosecond) pulse width to the gate electrode o Shall use a switch matrix to route pulses / SMU signals / ground to each FeFET device in the array, sequentially.
Shall be able to electrically connect the terminals of each FeFET device for SMU I-V (current-voltage) testing.
For example, Gate (SMU), Drain (SMU), Source (grounded) Shall be able to electrically connect the terminals of each FeFET device for pulsing to the gate terminal to change the conductance state of the FeFET.
For example, Gate (Pulse), Drain (grounded), Source (grounded)
Shall enable automated, serial testing of individual columns of a FeFET crossbar array to show multiply-accumulate (MAC) functionality o Shall use a switch matrix to connect to multiple FeFET devices concurrently to test MAC operation
Shall have enough concurrent connections for individual columns of a 10x10 crossbar array
