    Description

    SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is operated by Stanford University for the Department of Energy. As a management and operating contractor, subcontracts awarded by the Laboratory are not Federal procurements, and are not directly subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulations in 48 CFR. Nonetheless, certain Federal laws, Executive Orders, and regulations may affect our DOE approved purchasing system, as required by statute, regulation, or contract terms and conditions.

    SLAC has a requirement for a U.S. domestic end item source of the following:

    Description of technical requirements:

    Frame Type: Low-Res Single Crystal Silicon

    Frame Dimensions: 7.5mm x 4.5mm (±0.2mm) or similar

    Frame Thickness: 200μm (±10μm) or 300μm (±10μm) thick (200μm preferred)

    Membrane Type: Single Crystal <100> Silicon

    Membrane Dimensions: 0.05mm x 0.05mm (±0.01mm)

    Membrane Array: 2 x 2 square, 0.1mm center-to-center pitch, centered to the frame.

    Membrane Thickness: 90nm (±5nm)

    Window Dimensions: Approximately 0.25mm x 0.25mm. Comprised of silicon oxynitride surrounding, above and below the membrane to keep it flat, approximately centered to the membrane.

    Grating Pattern: Array of slots partially through the Silicon membrane with a nominal depth of 45nm, covering the central 35μm x 35μm area of the membrane. The grating critical dimensions will be 1.5μm (±0.3μm). Final designs will follow design files provided by SLAC and be confirmed at project kickoff. Sidewalls may not be perfectly vertical, and roughness will not be known until time of delivery. 3 of 4 membranes will be patterned with gratings on each chip, and one membrane will be plain, unpatterned.
