SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is operated by Stanford University for the Department of Energy. As a management and operating contractor, subcontracts awarded by the Laboratory are not Federal procurements, and are not directly subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulations in 48 CFR. Nonetheless, certain Federal laws, Executive Orders, and regulations may affect our DOE approved purchasing system, as required by statute, regulation, or contract terms and conditions.

SLAC is seeking to buy a spectroscopic ellipsometer for measuring dielectric properties of thin films on substrates up to 150 mm. the detail technical requirements are as follows:

1. Multi-points mapping --> allow us to map out 150 mm wafer
2. Spectroscopic Ellipsometer with dual rotating compensator --> Useful for anisotropic materials or patterned materials; prefer Halogen or Xenon lamp for continuous wavelength white light.
3. large range of incident angles --> useful to find optical constants of rough or inhomogeneous materials and thicker films and transparent substrates
4. small spot size --> Important for patterned wafers such as device wafers
5. wide spectral range --> for better and accurate data to fit a model and for thicker materials 
6. sample size: up to 150 mm
7. maximum photoresist thickness: larger than 10 um (our thick photoresist is about 9 um)
8. maximum metal thickness: less than 30 nm
9. Each tool must be listed or labeled by a Nationally Recognized Test Laboratory (NRTL) per OSHA, Cal-OSHA and NFPA 70E Article 350 requirements, or be field evaluated by a NRTL per NFPA 70E Article 350.6 prior to shipment to confirm compliance with US safety standards. Provide 2 copies of NRTL Field Evaluation Report to SLAC.

The award will be made based upon the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis. The evaluation factors will be as follows:

1. Multi-points mapping for substrate up to 150 mm
2. Dual rotating compensator
3. Large range of incident angles
4. Small spot size
5. Maximum photoresist thickness: > 10 um
6. Maximum metal thickness: < 30 nm
7. Wide spectral range
