Notice Title

Supply of one off Reactive Ion Etcher (RIE) and/or a one off Inductively Coupled Plasma Reactive Ion Etcher (ICPRIE) in two lots.

Notice Description

The Device Fabrication Small Research Facility (SRF) currently has one reactive ion etcher (RIE) and two inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etchers (ICPRIE), serving a wide range of research and industrial customers from across the University and nationally. The SRF is capable of manufacturing semiconductor devices via a range of standard processes, working alongside our Epitaxy facility growing advanced semiconductor materials. Our research portfolio in these areas is in excess of PS50million. Quotations are required for 1 off of each RIE and ICP, in two separate lots, with the specifications detailed within the tender document. As present the likelihood is that only one item will be purchased, hence the title of this exercise being on an and/or basis.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Quotations are required for 1 off of each RIE and ICP, in two separate lots, with the specifications detailed within the tender document. As present the likelihood is that only one item will be purchased, hence the title of this exercise being on an and/or basis. The RIE and ICP equipment is fundamental to device fabrication, and we are planning to expand our capacity to meet increasing demand and to improve customer service. The anticipated budget for each item is: RIE PS300,000 (excluding VAT) ICPRIE PS233,333 (excluding VAT) Additional information: This tender is designed to seek response for the purchase of a Reactive Ion Etcher (RIE) or, a one off Inductively Coupled Plasma Reactive Ion Etcher (ICPRIE) and it is highly unlikely that we will be in a position to purchase both items.
