## Summary

The University of Strathclyde, located in Glasgow, is planning a procurement process for the supply, delivery, and commissioning of a metal evaporator with an estimated value of £335,000. This opportunity falls under the education sector, focusing on acquiring a multi-source electron beam metal evaporation system for semiconductor device research. Interested suppliers must express their intention by 14 February 2020, with further details to be provided after this date. The procurement is managed as a tender, which is currently in the planning stage, with future notices expected by 28 February 2020.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in manufacturing scientific equipment, particularly those with expertise in advanced deposition technologies. Companies equipped to meet the required specifications, such as computer control systems, multiple electron-beam sources, and oil-free pumping systems, would be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this procurement process could lead to valuable contracts and partnerships within the growing field of semiconductor research and education.

## Notice

The University of Strathclyde seeks a supplier to provide a multi-source electron beam metal evaporation system for semiconductor device research.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The University of Strathclyde seeks a supplier to provide a multi-source electron beam metal evaporation system for semiconductor device research. The offered equipment must have these essential features: - Full computer control, with recipe-driven mimic panel operation - Minimum of four electron-beam sources, compatible with metals including Pd, Ag, Ni, Au and Ti - Capacity for simultaneous deposition on multiple 100-mm diameter round substrates - Quartz crystal thickness monitoring, with dual sensors - In situ ion cleaning option - Oil-free pumping system - Suitability for lift-off processing, ie. metal deposition over photoresist patterns. Potential bidders are asked to note their interest against this PIN by COB 14/02/20, at which point further details regarding the pre-tender market engagement will be released.
