    Description

    The Department of Commerce, specifically the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), has issued a Sources Sought Notice to identify vendors capable of providing two Highly Accelerated Stress Test (HAST) chambers. These chambers are essential for accelerating moisture-induced failures in semiconductor devices, which are critical for defect characterization, failure analysis, and metrology development under the CHIPS Metrology program. The procurement seeks chambers with specific technical requirements, including multi-mode humidity control, temperature and pressure ranges, and compliance with industry standards. Interested vendors should submit their capabilities, including technical specifications and pricing, to Forest Crumpler at forest.crumpler@nist.gov. This notice is for market research purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment to award a contract.

    NIST has issued a Sources Sought Notice to identify vendors capable of providing two Highly Accelerated Stress Test (HAST) chambers. These chambers will be used for accelerating moisture-induced failures in semiconductor devices for defect characterization, failure analysis, and metrology development under the CHIPS Metrology program. HAST Chamber 1 requires multi-mode humidity control, a minimum 21-liter volume, a temperature range of 105 °C to 162 °C, 75-100% RH humidity control, and a pressure range of 0.020-0.392 MPa. HAST Chamber 2 must accommodate multiple samples up to 300 mm in diameter, have a minimum 21-liter volume, and comply with the JESD22A11E standard, with specific temperature, pressure, and humidity ranges. Vendors should specify which chambers they can provide, including technical specifications, manufacturing details, available services, and pricing.
