The document outlines a Statement of Work (SOW) for the fabrication and design of six silicon substrates managed by Brookhaven Science Associates for the U.S. Department of Energy. The project spans nine weeks and involves detailed specifications for each substrate's dimensions, surface quality, and tolerances. Specific requirements include size measurements with strict tolerances, roughness not exceeding 0.3 nm, and structural features like polish and beveling. Three distinct designs for the substrates are described, catering to varied specifications, such as radius and surface finishes. Deliverables are expected within 7-8 weeks after receipt of the order. The entire undertaking is regulated by U.S. Department of Commerce Export Administration Regulations. This SOW represents a focused effort in accessing high-quality silicon substrates essential for advanced scientific applications, highlighting the government's commitment to fostering research and technology through precise procurement processes.
The document outlines a quotation submission for silicon substrates by Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), managed by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC, in response to a solicitation dated September 19, 2024.
