METIS is the home for data products produced by the CHIPS Metrology Program. The following are common data product types you will find:

  • Data, or datasets are the typical digitized outputs of either an experimental or computation procedure.
  • Code is an arbitrary unit of instruction written in a computer language that executes a particular task(s). Examples are segmentation codes and data reduction algorithms.
  • Model is a collection of codes that mimics a physical entity or process.
  • Software is a collection of codes that can include one or more models, packaged in such a way that can be executed by people with varying levels of expertise.
  • Guide is a documentary output. Examples are white papers and best-practice guides.
  • Database is a collection of related data.
  • Repository (or repo) is a collection of databases.
  • Service, specifically in this case, refers to a web-based interaction platform where a prospective recipient can request an action (for example: calibration, evaluation), and the requested service is rendered by a service provided through a web portal.

A special class of CHIPS Metrology outputs (denoted by *) are governed by strict definitions (for data and for materials and instruments) and are quality assessed. Some products are non-digital (e.g., a Reference Material, a new instrument), and they are listed for informational purposes.

In addition to the direct outputs from the Seven Grand Challenges outlined in Strategic Opportunities for U.S. Semiconductor Manufacturing, the CHIPS Metrology METIS Collection also includes datasets that predate Strategic Opportunities for U.S. Semiconductor Manufacturing (summary table below), the CHIPS Metrology METIS Collection also includes datasets that predates the 2022 CHIPS Act but are nonetheless relevant to the semiconductor industry. Contributed data products from NIST partners and collaborators will appear here as they become available.
