Lot Information
Lot 1
To complement our lithography capabilities the Southampton Nanofabrication Centre (SNC) will invest in an electron beam evaporator capable of partnering with current tools to deliver high quality 200mm wafer lift off processing. Lift off is a technique which underpins multiple high value and strategic projects for the facility and we wish to renew our capability for another generation to partner with our next wave of lithography investment. Specifically, we expect a future DUV (Deep Ultra Violet) scanner lithography critical dimension of 200nm and for 4nm for electron beam write. The primary focus of the procurement is to deliver a tool capable of high resolution 200mm wafer lift off in conjunction with a critical dimension of 4nm. The University is conducting this procurement using the Open procedure in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations for the purpose of procuring the goods and services described in the Specification. The University proposes to enter into a contract for up to two years with the successful tenderer. This will comprise of a contract period of up to one year for the delivery lead-time of the goods followed by a 12-month warranty. The contract will be effective on signing.
