Announcement Type: Special Notice Classification Code: 6695 Announcement Number: NIST-SS26-CHIPS-43-01 Subject: Notice of Intent to Noncompetitively Acquire Sub-THz VNA Extenders and Amplifier to Virginia Diodes (UEI: VJ9NDNJEG6G4) Advanced semiconductor technology has led to continuous performance improvements in transistors. However, many iterations are needed to obtain optimal performance, and the yield and reproducibility is incredibly poor. Furthermore, US chip makers are ill-equipped with legacy measurement techniques and underperforming models. We propose a robust path to develop and verify high-frequency transistor models: 1) new on-wafer standards and calibration, 2) precision noise measurements for transistor quality assurance, 3) improved characterizations, 4) optimal models tai...
