C.2 Objective The Contractor shall provide all labor and material needed to complete the CMP. The Contractor shall receive GFP from the Government, execute the specific polish type identified in subsequent Task Orders, and deliver the polished wafers and CMP processing results to the COR. C.3. Requirements C.3.1. The Contractor shall ensure that the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposited (PECVD) coatings are polished with a final surface roughness at a maximum of 10 Angstroms. The three different types of polish that may be required by subsequent Task Orders are as follows. C.3.1.1 Short (a maximum 2500 Angstroms) C.3.1.2 Medium (a minimum 2500 to a maximum 10,000 Angstroms C.3.1.3 Long (a minimum 10,000 Angstroms to a maximum 30,000 Angstroms) C.3.2 Upon selection from C.3.1, the Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) will provide the GFM in the form of a minimum one (1) batch of 10 wafers and a maximum Eight (8) batches of 10 wafers to the Contractor Axus Technology at 7001 W. Erie St., Suite 1. Chandler, AZ 85226.
