The concept design for the facility will support a publicly funded project which will see the creation of an advanced facility for developing and scaling-up packaging capabilities and includes provision of equipment that is sufficiently flexible to support a wide variety of power electronic semiconductor design and packaging requirements. The overall scale up manufacturing facility is to be housed at an NMIS site, this sub-section of the facility will be housed in a ISO-7 (previously class 10,000) clean room environment. The equipment will comprise the latest technology in their respective fields. It will be utilized in a range of projects within the Power Electronics industry and will be made available to both academic and industrial partners across the whole of the United Kingdom, including other catapult centres. The facility will have capability to prepare, dice/cut, bond, interconnect, package, and test semiconductor products that are part of the power electronics sector. These stages will be carried out across dedicated research and development cells. The University is seeking to establish a contract for wafer dicing equipment and is subsequently tendering the lots outlined below: Lot 1 - Saw Dicing

Options: The Contracting Authority reserves the right to request additional deliveries by the Successful Tenderer, either intended as partial replacement of suppliers or installations or as extensions of existing supplies and installations.
