## Summary

Swansea University, located in Swansea, UK, is conducting a procurement process for the "Re-tender for CISM Project Wide Bandgap Semiconductor Laser Annealing Tool (WBG-LAT)." This initiative falls within the education sector and is in the award stage, with the contract valued at approximately €1,005,500 signed on 27 January 2022. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, which allows for broad participation in the tender. The procurement aims to enhance the University's Centre for Integrative Semiconductor Materials (CISM) by acquiring specialised semiconductor processing equipment, contributing to the significant £90 million project aimed at advancing semiconductor research and technology development.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses, particularly those in the technology and semiconductor fields, to engage with academic institutions and contribute to innovative projects. Companies with expertise in semiconductor processing, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The collaboration with Swansea University also aligns with wider governmental strategies aimed at bolstering the Welsh economy, offering potential growth avenues for suppliers capable of delivering advanced technology solutions.

## Notice

Swansea University's new flagship Centre for Integrative Semiconductor Materials (CISM) aims to further stimulate growth in this area by delivering a bespoke, integrated facility for semiconductor research and technology development. Prior to the CISM facility being completed, the University seeks to procure specialist semiconductor processing and characterisation equipment of which the proposed Wide Bandgap Semiconductor Laser Annealing Tool is a major element.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Semiconductor process development is a key area of growth at Swansea University, and is aligned with the Welsh Government's 'Innovation Wales' strategy which identifies semiconductor materials and device technology as one of the foundations in the future expansion of the Welsh economy. The University's new flagship Centre for Integrative Semiconductor Materials (CISM) aims to further stimulate growth in this area by delivering a bespoke, integrated facility for semiconductor research and technology development. The GBP90M project includes GBP60M co-investment from industry, together with a GBP30M grant from Research England and will allow construction of state-of-the-art cleanroom and laboratory space that will accommodate new fabrication and characterisation equipment (due for completion mid 2022). A key focus the CISM portfolio is the development of efficient, low loss power electronics based upon wide bandgap semiconductors such as SiC and GaN. Swansea University (CISM) together with its partners in the CS Connected Semiconductor Cluster were recently awarded GBP4.84M as part of the Driving the Electric Revolution (DER) Industrialisation Centres Equipment Request. Prior to the CISM facility being completed, the University seeks to procure specialist semiconductor processing and characterisation equipment of which the proposed Wide Bandgap Semiconductor Laser Annealing Tool is a major element. Furthermore, the WBG-LAT is a key component of the soon to be established (DER funded) Wide Bandgap Power Electronics Industrial Pilot Line to be located at Swansea University and its industrial partner Newport Wafer Fab.
