Electrical Performance Monitoring System

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Infrastructure and Materials Group within the Engineering Laboratory is seeking an electrical analyzer and current-stress system to conduct in-situ electrical performance monitoring of advanced packaging interposer test vehicles during multi-stress accelerated reliability testing. This work supports the CHIPS Metrology program, specifically Grand Challenge 3, Project 10 - Reliability Testing and Modeling for Advanced Packaging. The CHIPS Metrology program develops and advances cutting-edge metrology capabilities for members of the US semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem, aiming to address critical metrology gaps to spur innovation. Work Details The Contractor shall provide a commercially available electrical performance monitoring system that meets all technical specifications identified. All items must be new; used or remanufactured equipment will not be considered. The system must be capable of generating time-resolved data necessary to populate an open-source physical property database, supporting NIST research related to reliability of advanced packaging in heterogeneously integrated semiconductor devices. **Line Item 0001:** - **Description:** Electrical Performance Monitoring System - **Quantity:** 1 **A. Technical Specifications** 1. **Configuration**: - Complete modular DC current-stress/electrical analyzer system suitable for rack or bench operation. - Minimum of 8 independently programmable DC source output channels, each supporting constant-current and constant-voltage operation. - Continuous long-duration operation with test vehicles is required. - Must include all required mainframes, source modules, standard power cords, control interfaces, factory calibration, software licenses needed for operation, and standard documentation. 2. **Applied current capability**: - Minimum DC current capability per channel: 0 A to at least +3 A continuous. - Current programming accuracy shall be <= 0.05% of setpoint plus <= 500 uA. 3. **Applied potential, power, and sensing capability**: - Minimum voltage compliance capability of 50 V per channel. - Minimum output power capability of 100 W per channel. 4. **In-situ monitoring and external measurement integration**: - System must support integration with an existing switch/multiplexer-based digital data acquisition system for time-resolved voltage, resistance, current-shunt, and temperature monitoring. Period of Performance The delivery lead-time shall be within 5 months or less after receipt of order. Place of Performance The specific geographic location(s) are not detailed in the solicitation. Bidder Requirements The Contractor must provide a warranty for the entire system for a minimum period of twelve (12) months after Government acceptance covering defects in materials and workmanship that adversely affect performance under normal use. The use of 'gray market' components is not acceptable.
