Lot Information

Lot 1

Provision of Contract Agreement for Electrochemical Capacitance Voltage Test System for a Minimum Period of 12 Months with the Option to Extend for Two Further Periods of up to 12 Months The University has a requirement for an electrochemical capacitance-voltage (ECV) profiling system capable of performing measurements of dopant levels (both p- and n-type, e.g. Zn, Si, etc.) in epitaxial III-V compound semiconductor materials (e.g. GaAs, InP, GaN, etc.) used in semiconductor photonics and electronics device research. Please refer to the 'PURCH2923 - Schedule 1A - ITT' for further details and specification. This procurement process is being conducted using the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation (CPN) in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 30 of the PC(S)R 2015.
