## Summary

The University of Southampton has initiated a tender for the procurement of a Wafer Dicing Saw and Post Wafer Cleaning system. The University seeks to acquire this system for its optical and semiconductor materials processing capabilities, primarily for projects in Quantum Technologies, Photonics, and Advanced Manufacturing. The procurement process is currently at the active stage, and the tender value is £205,000. The University is located in Southampton, Hampshire, England, and the procurement falls under the goods category.

This tender opportunity presented by the University of Southampton is ideal for businesses involved in laboratory, optical, and precision equipment industries. Companies that can provide high-quality dicing solutions for cutting-edge technologies and research projects would find this tender well-suited for their expertise. With the procurement still active, interested businesses can explore this opportunity to expand their market presence and support cutting-edge research at a prestigious institution like the University of Southampton.

## Notice

The University of Southampton seeks to acquire a complete dicing system for the University's optical and semiconductor materials processing capabilities for a number of high-impact projects in the major engineering themes of Quantum Technologies, Photonics and Advanced Manufacturing. This system is a replacement for the current dicing saw for Building 53 back-end of line cleanroom facility and an upgrade to meet the demands of current projects and technologies. Dicing is a fundamental part of the cleanroom and underpins a significant number of ongoing and future grants. The acquisition of this system will enable university researchers to machine surfaces and micron sized ridge structures with nanoscale surface roughness and low amounts of topside chipping in optical and semiconductor materials. This dicing machine will allow the fabrication of new devices that will tackle fundamental research problems in quantum light-matter interactions, quantum sensors, and telecommunications.
