Notice Title
Supply and commissioning of an Atomic Layer Deposition Coating System
Notice Description
This Notice relates to an open tender above the Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA) threshold for goods related to research and development equipment required by the University of Strathclyde's (Contracting Authority) Institute of Photonics department. The Contracting Authority envisions a single supplier shall undertake the contract for the supply, delivery, installation and commissioning of an Atomic Layer Deposition Coating system at a University of Strathclyde Lab facility, located in the Technology and Innovation Centre (TIC) specified cleanroom. The equipment is grant funded by the Wolfson Foundation to advance scientific investigation in neuro-technology.
Lot Information
Lot 1
The Institute of Photonics is seeking to complement their cleanroom micro-fabrication facility equipment with an Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) system. It is envisioned that the equipment will form atomic-scale precision deposition of oxide materials that will include but not be limited to: 1 Hafnium Oxide (HfO2) 2 Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) The equipment will be used to to advance scientific investigation in neuro-technology and operated by PhD students, Postdoctoral Research Associates and Technicians within the Institute of Photonics. The Contracting Authority anticipates that the contract will be for a duration of twenty (24) months. The Contracting Authority requires a supplier that can fulfil the below non-exhaustive list of requirements: 1 Thermally activated monolayer oxide deposition 2 HfO2 and SiO2 oxides deposition with added capability for Titania (TiO2) and Alumina (AlO3) 3 Capability to expand the range of deposited material 4 High variety of film stacking capability 5 Highly conformal and uniform deposition including in recesses 6 The capability for system update to future-proof the system usage Please refer to the full list of requirements and tender documentation available via PCST.
Options: The Contracting Authority reserves the right to request additional deliveries by the successful Tenderer, either intended as partial replacement of supplies or installations or as extensions of existing supplies and installations. The Contracting Authority may at it's sole discretion exercise this option.
