Notice Title

Generation of anti-reflective structures on mid infrared focal plane array materials

Notice Description

Proposals are invited that shall investigate the performance of reactive ion etching (RIE) or other similar techniques to create moth-eye style anti reflective structures on MWIR focal plane arrays for performance enhancement and decreased surface reflectivity. The activity shall be bound to a single material, e.g. indium antimonide (InSb), mercury cadmium telluride (MCT), or another suitable material. The Supplier is requested to provide a firm price proposal for ST1 and ROM costed proposals for ST2 and ST3 based on documented assumptions. If ST2 is activated by the Authority, the Supplier will be required to submit a firm priced proposal. This process will be repeated for ST3. The Authority does not wish to penalise any Supplier who does not have the necessary facilities/expertise to perform ST2/3; if this is the case, the Supplier should state which company or companies they would work with to achieve the aims of the project and what experience they have with working with those companies.
