## Summary

The University of Sheffield initiated a procurement process for an atomic layer deposition system aimed at aiding research in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. The system is required to deposit metal oxide layers for optoelectronic devices and semiconductor devices. This tender, with a value of £100,000, falls under the laboratory and precision equipment category. The procurement method is an open procedure below threshold, with the tender period ending on 27th March 2023 and contract period starting on 27th April 2023 in Yorkshire and the Humber region.

This tender opportunity from the University of Sheffield presents a chance for SMEs and businesses in the laboratory equipment industry to compete for supplying the required atomic layer deposition system. Companies offering cleanroom-compatible tabletop instruments would be well-suited for this tender. The system needs to deposit various metal oxides with high conformality, catering specifically to the research needs within the university's academic environment, offering growth potential for the winning supplier.

## Notice

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at The University of Sheffield, requires an atomic layer deposition (ALD) system for the growth of ultra-thin layers of metal oxides on substrates for use in a range of optoelectronic devices. The system needs to be capable of depositing a range of metal oxides (in particular Al2O3, TiO2, SnOx and InOx) onto substrates which are placed on a sample holder with a circular diameter of ~150mm. The predominant use of this system will be to deposit metal oxide layers within metal halide perovskite semiconductor devices. This requires a system which can ensure substrates are held at various temperatures ranging from 50degC to 200degC during deposition. This system shall be used to deposit thin films on substrates of different textures. Therefore, conformality of the resultant films is a key requirement. The instrument needs to be a tabletop instrument and must be cleanroom compatible. This is an open exercise. The ITT can be downloaded by registering and expressing your interest on the University's e-tendering system https://in-tendhost.co.uk/sheffield If you have any questions or comments in relation to this tender they must be submitted via the In-tend system, this can be accessed at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/sheffield Completed tenders must be returned through the same e-tendering system.
