About this opportunity
Announcement Type: Special Notice Classification Code: 6695 Announcement Number: NIST-SS26-103 Subject: Notice of Intent to Noncompetitively Acquire Optical Microscope - Nikon Metrology (UEI: NP7BRVCLFN51) The Alternative Computing Group in the Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML) Division 683 conducts research addressing the rapidly expanding measurement needs of new hardware for artificial intelligence, exploring emerging computing hardware, architectures and algorithms, and developing chip-based test vehicles for massively parallel measurements. A significant portion of this work involves procurement of CMOS wafers up to 8� (200 mm) in diameter from foundries, and integrating custom nanoscale devices on top of them, either in the NIST NanoFab or through research partnerships and CRADAs...
