About this file

This document is a Statement of Work (SOW) specifying specialized silicon and silicon-germanium wafer products to be delivered to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg.

The procurement includes two base line items and five option line items for engineered wafer materials. Line Item 0001 requires 15 wafers of thin silicon and SiGe layers on silicon (Spec 1) featuring a seven-layer film stack with alternating Si and Si0.7Ge0.3 compositions, each 10±2 nm thick, on a 525 µm phosphorus-doped silicon substrate. Line Item 0002 requires 15 wafers of the same material system but with different specifications (Spec 2), including varied layer thicknesses (20-40 nm) and germanium compositions (Si0.55Ge0.45, Si0.70Ge0.30, Si0.85Ge0.15). Option line items provide flexibility for future orders: Option 1 covers thin doped silicon (up to 1 µm, 5 layers maximum), Option 2 covers thick doped silicon (up to 10 µm single layer), Option 3 covers isotopically enriched 28Si (up to 100 nm), Option 4 covers thin Si/SiGe superlattices (up to 250 nm), and Option 5 covers thick relaxed SiGe on buffered silicon substrates (up to 10 µm). All wafers must be 100 mm diameter, double-side polished, <100> orientation with SEMI standard flats, and 525 µm thick. Option line items specify a minimum lot size of 10 wafers with configurable parameters including dopant type, resistivity, film stack composition, and thickness to be determined at time of modification. Deliverables for base line items are due within 20 weeks of award, with future option deliveries due within 20 weeks of option modification.
