This equipment is essential for measuring the thickness and optical properties of thin regions on planar substrates, specifically targeting materials such as graphene and boron nitride. The tender is part of the goods procurement category and follows an open procurement method, with the tender period set to close on 10 December 2018. The contract is scheduled to commence on 14 January 2019 and will run until 31 May 2019, and applications must be made via the university's e-tendering system. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the laboratory and precision equipment sector, particularly those specialising in optical instruments. Companies with expertise in producing advanced measurement systems or those focusing on materials science would be well positioned to compete for this contract. Engaging in this procurement could not only enhance market presence but also foster partnerships with a leading university, potentially leading to additional contracts in the future. ## Notice One imaging spectroscopic ellipsometer capable of providing information on the thickness and optical properties (over a range of wavelengths, at least 250nm to 1000nm) of thin regions on planar substrates. A key specification for this instrument is the lateral ellipsometric resolution. We already have a high quality spectroscopic ellipsometer on-site which has a minimum spot-size around 250 microns in diameter. We now wish to improve the lateral resolution of our ellipsometry measurements to the micron-scale. We want to be able to measure the optical properties of micron-scale regions of graphene, boron nitride and other two-dimensional materials on planar substrates. We will also use the instrument to image the thickness and properties of patterned self-assembled molecular monolayers and polymers patterned by electron beam lithography.
