Description
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting market research to identify alternative sources for the refurbishment of a valved gallium effusion cell used in a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) crystal growth system. The system is used to synthesize semiconductor materials and devices, and the effusion cell is currently broken and needs to be rebuilt. NIST is requesting information from industry sources on their capability to provide the required refurbishment services. The information requested includes company summary, feedback on draft requirements, information on products and services, standard commercial pricing, and regulatory and supply chain compliance.
• The refurbishment of the effusion cell is required to bring it back to functional operation.
• The system uses a valved gallium effusion cell manufactured by E-Science to provide a vapor phase flux of gallium atoms during crystal growth.
• NIST has not yet determined its acquisition strategy for this requirement.
• Interested sources are requested to voluntarily submit the requested information via email in Microsoft Word, Adobe PDF, and/or Microsoft Excel format.
