CHIPS R&D: Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectrometer   3

Background
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting a CHIPS R&D Metrology project aimed at enhancing the semiconductor supply chain's visibility and addressing gaps in research and development.

The project focuses on developing measurement science critical for new materials, packaging, and production methods in chip manufacturing. NIST's Chemical Process and Nuclear Measurements Group requires a research-grade Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectrometer to characterize the stability of biofunctional semiconductor interfaces in chip-based biosensors, which is essential for improving manufacturability and accelerating biosensor development.
