Background
Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC (BSA), operator of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) under a Prime Contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is seeking information from companies regarding their capabilities to provide a magnetron sputter deposition system for fabricating superconducting thin film materials relevant to quantum devices.

The goal of this Request for Information (RFI) is to gather insights on available resources and vendor capabilities for the specified requirements.

Work Details
The RFI outlines the need for an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) magnetron sputter deposition system that includes:
1) A UHV stainless-steel sputtering chamber with a base vacuum ≤ 2 × 10⁻⁹ Torr, configured for at least four (4) magnetron sputtering sources;
2) A fully integrated vacuum pumping system;
3) A substrate stage capable of heating to 1000 °C;
4) A sputtering atmosphere control system with mass flow controlled gas lines;
5) An integrated load-lock chamber;
6) A computer control system for process monitoring and automation.

The vendor must also provide onsite service including installation, commissioning, training, and warranty support. Specific configurations include: a steel frame supporting the chamber, multiple CF ports for future expansion, a customized bakeout system, various pumping capacities including dry mechanical and cryogenic pumps, gas handling systems with mass flow controllers, and advanced substrate handling capabilities. Performance requirements specify that the system must achieve specific pressure controls and gauging standards while supporting various operational parameters.

Place of Performance
The work will be performed at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
