Primary S-Parameter Standards for Plasma Etching Record

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking a contractor to provide primary S-parameter standards for plasma etching research. The contractor will deliver mechanical drawings, DIN 7/16 offset shorts, and dimensional measurements. The standards will be used to establish traceability for S-parameter measurements in the DIN 7/16 connector type, which is critical for high-power waveform measurements in the semiconductor industry. The contractor must meet the technical specifications outlined in the document, including the delivery of seven DIN 7/16 offset shorts and 28 dimensional measurements. • The contractor must provide an initial draft of mechanical drawings within 8 weeks of receipt of order. • The contractor must deliver the DIN 7/16 offset shorts within 24 weeks of approval of the draft. • The contractor must provide dimensional measurements for each device, including the diameter of the inner conductor, the diameter of the outer conductor, and the length of the outer conductor. • The contractor must ensure that all devices meet the IEEE 287.1-2021 metrology grade pin connector specification. • The contractor must deliver all line items to the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, CO.
