Federal
Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) Batch ReactorThe National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting market research to identify potential vendors capable of supplying a single Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) Batch Reactor for use in a CHIPS R&D Metrology project focused on biosensor development. The reactor must be designed to deposit metal oxides and self-assembled monolayers on 200 mm wafer substrates with stringent technical requirements, including precise temperature control up to 300°C, thickness uniformity of 1% or better for Al2O3, and a fully integrated computer-controlled system capable of recipe-based operation, real-time data logging, and safety interlocks to prevent hazardous co-dosing or thermal runaway. The system must include five welded stainless steel precursor lines with dedicated ozone capability, heated precursor vessels and manifolds, fast-acting diaphragm valves, in situ optical access for spectroscopic ellipsometry, and a compact footprint under 48 inches in height. All consumables must be user-replaceable, and the unit must be end-user installable using existing dry vacuum pumps, compressed air, and nitrogen supplies. No training will be provided, so comprehensive documentation is mandatory. Responses are solicited from all responsible sources, including small businesses as defined by the NAICS code 333242 with a 1,500 employee size standard, and must be submitted electronically by July 14, 2026. Submitters are required to provide their company details, UEI and CAGE codes, business size and socio-economic status, technical capabilities relevant to ALD systems, prior experience delivering similar equipment, applicable contract vehicles, and the country of origin for the product. Proprietary information must be clearly marked; otherwise, NIST will assume unlimited rights to all submitted data. This is purely a sources sought notice with no guarantee of a future solicitation or award, and NIST will not compensate respondents for their submissions. Questions must be submitted by July 2, 2026, and all responses must adhere to formatting guidelines including 11-point Times New Roman font, 12-page limit, and 1-inch margins. The reactor will be used at NIST’s facility in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
