Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh is conducting an open tender for a Maskless Lithography System, which is essential for creating micron scale patterns at their Scottish Microelectronics Centre, located in Edinburgh. This procurement process includes the supply, maintenance, training, and ancillary services as a single lot, reflecting the proprietary nature of the equipment. The tender submission period ended on 16th August 2016, with the award of the contract taking place immediately following that date. Interested parties had to demonstrate compliance with specific selection criteria, and bidding was facilitated through the Public Contracts Scotland system.

This opportunity presents significant avenues for business growth, particularly for companies involved in advanced manufacturing, semiconductor production, and precision engineering. Suppliers with expertise in lithography systems or those offering complementary services, such as maintenance and training, would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, businesses capable of meeting the stringent technical requirements and providing robust support services during and post-contract would find this tender particularly relevant to their offerings.

Notice Title

Maskless Lithography System

Notice Description

The Scottish Microelectronics Centre at the University of Edinburgh requires a Lithography system for the creation of micron scale patterns on substrates. This project will be awarded as a single lot including supply, maintenance, training and ancillary services. This requirement is not broken into Lots due to proprietary aspects. Bidders must self-certify their adherence to selection and exclusion criteria via the ESPD (Scotland)on PCS-T. Suppliers may be required to submit Means of Proof at a later stage. Specific selection requirements are detailed in Section III.1.2 and VI.3 of this notice.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Scottish Microelectronics Centre at the University of Edinburgh requires a Lithography system for the creation of micron scale patterns on substrates with a wide range of dimensions. The equipment will be used primarily by research staff as well as PhD students in order to fabricate devices. It will be operated within a cleanroom environment. This project will be awarded as a single lot including supply, maintenance, training and ancillary services.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if there are any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015

The system is required to- a) Handle, focus, align (both front-side and back-side) and expose patterns on substrates which range in size from 2 x 2 mm foundry CMOS die up to 9\" square mask blanks and include all SEMI standard wafer sizes from 3\" to 200 mm; b) Expose an area of up to 190 x 190 mm at all wavelengths, grid sizes, resolution etc. maintaining performance at all points; c) Handle, focus, align and expose patterns on substrates ranging in thickness from 100 microns to 10 mm; d) Focus and expose patterns with linewidth of 10 microns over KOH wet etched structures in <100> silicon wafers of a depth of up to 1mm. It would be useful to know if there are limits on cavity size accommodated by the system; e) Focus and expose patterns at highest resolution capability at the bottom surface of the cavity at a depth of up to 1mm. State if there are any limits on cavity size; f) Have the capability to expose standard broadband, i-line and SU-8 resists; g) Have a minimum feature size (line/space) of at least 0.6 micron in standard positive resists; h) Be capable of rapidly changing resolution via software; i) Have a greyscale capability of at least 255 levels; j) Automatically align to standard alignment markers and manually align to arbitrary features on wafer and mask (overlay of design file to live image); k) Perform front-side layer-to-layer alignment (automatic and manual) with an accuracy of at least +/- 0.5 microns over the full area of the substrate and at all substrate sizes and thicknesses; l) Perform front-side to back-side alignment (automatic and manual) with an accuracy of better than +/- 5.0 microns over the full area of the substrate and at all substrate sizes and thicknesses; m) Input from GDSII or CIF file formats for non-greyscale lithography; n) Work with design grids down to 1 nm; o) Operate from a standard desktop pc; p) Assign different access levels (e.g. operator, engineer and manager) to individual users with password protected; q) Log all access to system by user; r) Log all relevant machine operations; s) Have the capability to control, interrogate and troubleshoot the system remotely; t) Have email or telephone support available during normal office hours (UK time, Monday-Friday); u) Have remote access support and diagnostics within 5 days of reported fault; v) During warranty period a service engineer shall be on site within 10 working days of a notification of machine down condition We are not looking for 24/7 support or response times so costs should be appropriate to our needs; w) During warranty period have spare parts on site within 10 working days.
