STATEMENT OF WORK

Title: Multichannel wavelength meter

Lab: PML

I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The semiconductor supply chain is global, specialized, and interconnected. Chipmakers do business with thousands of individual suppliers that provide the highly complex materials and tools used to produce semiconductors. To address the lack of full visibility into the semiconductors markets supply chain and R&D ecosystem gaps NIST will conduct the measurement science, or metrology, critical to the development of new materials, packaging, and production methods in chip manufacturing.

This purchase, which is part of CHIPS R&D work within the Microsystems and Nanotechnology Division within the Physical Measurement Laboratory at NIST is needed as part of our research on atomic layer deposition we will utilize a singly-resonant, continuous wave optical parametric oscillator. The Microsystems and Nanotechnology Division advances nanofabrication technologies and uses them to develop innovative integrated measurement microsystems. This optical parametric oscillator allows for the spectral translation of near-infrared laser light into the mid-infrared spectral region. The mid-infrared region contains strong absorption features of a wide variety of atomic and molecular species of interest to the chemistry and physics communities. A singly-resonant, continuous wave optical parametric oscillator is well suited for this type of spectroscopy due to its wide tunability, high optical power, narrow linewidth, and the ability to translate modulation with high fidelity. In order to measure the wavelength of the pump, signal, and idler beams which the optical parametric oscillator emits we require a high accuracy wavelength meter.

II. PURPOSE

The Contractor shall deliver a quantity of one (1) wavelength meter which can measure both the signal and pump wavelengths of an optical parametric oscillator, inclusive of FOB destination shipping and warranty.

III. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor shall provide a system that meets all technical specifications identified below. All items must be new. Used or remanufactured equipment will not be considered for award.

Experimental, prototype, or custom items will not be considered. The use of “gray market” components that are not authorized for sale in the U.S. by the Contractor is not acceptable. All line items shall be shipped in the original manufacturer’s packaging and include all original documentation and software, when applicable.

Line Item 0001: Wavelength meter Description: Multichannel wavelength meter Quantity: 1

Technical Specifications:

The wavelength meter must have the following functionalities:

1. The system must run off 120 V power (i.e., standard USA power).

2 | P a g e

2. The wavelength meter must be able of measuring wavelengths between 1050 nm and 2150 nm (in order to cover the range of pump and signal wavelengths of the optical parametric oscillator).

3. The wavelength meter should be designed to measure continuous wave optical inputs.

4. The wavelength meter should be fiber coupled and allow for fibers with FC/APC or

FC/PC connectors.

5. The wavelength meter should allow for USB connection to an external computer.

6. The wavelength should allow for multichannel operation where both the signal beam

(1450 nm to 2150 nm) and the pump beam (1050 nm to 1070 nm) can be measured without adjusting any fibers or connections. In addition this multichannel operation should be automatic without the need for user intervention or the programming of new software by the user.

7. Optical powers less than 1 mW should be required to reach the specifications listed here.

8. The wavelength meter’s accuracy should be better than 300 MHz.

9. No external reference laser should be required to reach these specifications.

10. The measurement rate should be at least 100 Hz.

11. The wavelength meter should allow for the display of the associated interferogram in order to assess the optical parametric oscillator’s output state.

VI. INSPECTION & ACCEPTANCE

3 | P a g e

In addition to the inspection and acceptance terms articulated in the specific FAR clause that allows the Government reserves the right to perform such performance tests and evaluations as defined below to verify specified system performance. Such tests and evaluations, if performed, shall be conducted within the environment that the system is to be operated. The Contractor has the right to be present during the tests and evaluations, if performed, at the Contractor’s expense.

Performance Tests:

1. Measure that the wavemeter meets the listed specifications by comparing to an existing mid-infrared wavemeter and putting the same light source into both wavemeters simultaneously.

NIST may choose at its discretion to forego this part of acceptance testing.

A visual inspection of the equipment will be performed by the NIST POC to identify surface defects or any form of indication that any equipment was damaged during transport to NIST. The Government shall have sole discretion to require repair or replacement of damaged and/or nonconforming supplies at no cost to the Government. The Government at any time prior to acceptance shall reject the equipment due to defects and/or nonconformance. The vendor is responsible for latent defects discovered any time after final inspection. However, the extent of its liability shall be prorated over the useful life of the equipment.

Ownership of the equipment shall transfer to NIST upon acceptance by the Government.

The Government will test, inspect, and accept or reject the equipment within one (1) week of the receipt of the equipment unless otherwise indicated above. The Government reserves the right to conduct quality assurance testing to confirm that a given instrument(s) meets the manufacturer’s and/or the Government’s performance specifications. It is anticipated that the equipment will meet all manufacturer’s specifications and/or the Government’s performance specifications identified in the most recent operations and maintenance manual for each piece of equipment and/or in this document.

VII. WARRANTY

The contractor shall warranty the entire system for a period of a minimum of one (1) year after receipt of the equipment and shall be in accordance with terms in FAR 52.212-4. Warranty shall commence upon acceptance of the system by the Government and at a minimum shall include the following: That the wavelength meter meets or exceeds the listed specifications.

VIII. PAYMENT SCHEDULE

The Contractor will be paid, in accordance with the payments clause in the contract and as otherwise noted in this document, upon receipt of a proper invoice:

• 100% after installation and acceptance by the POC of fully installed system, AND

IX. CYBERSECURITY PRIVACY REQUIREMENTS

NIST seeks a solution that provides security and privacy protection consistent with requirements defined by applicable federal laws, regulations, policies, and standards (e.g., the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), OMB Circular A-130, and FIPS Publication 200). The solution provider (including subcontractors) may meet these requirements through various means, including but not limited to FedRAMP authorization, current third-party assessments (e.g., SSAE, PCI), and/or responses to NIST special publication control set SP 800- 171.

Minimally Acceptable Controls

• IT management processes to establish and manage secure configuration baselines including routine patching for all operating systems and applications.

• Access to SPII is restricted to those with a need to know. Personnel with access to SPII have background investigations performed (e.g. criminal, financial etc.), and are trained on secure handling of SPII.

• Access Controls for SPII meet or exceed industry best practices for access and identification control including, but not limited to, connectivity to servers and databases, multi-factor authentication for remote accesses for administration, secure configurations for any devices accessing the system, and strong physical security for any place where the data is accessed.

• The solution supports multifactor authentication for users and/or supports integration with customer federation services for Single-Sign capability.

• Processes for scanning on a continual basis for vulnerabilities and proper configurations for all aspects of the system, as well as processes for timely mitigation of findings.
