## Notice

This award notice relates to the contract for the Supply, delivery and commissioning of a ball bonder for the University of Strathclyde Institute of Photonics (IP).

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This equipment will be used to enhance delivery of electro-photonic microsystems in a number of major projects, including EPSRC Platform and Programme Grants, Phase 2 Quantum Technology Hubs, and an RAEng Chair in Emerging Technologies. The capabilities added by the equipment will be essential to produce high-density electrical interconnects of two distinct types: pad-to-pad wire bonds with wire diameters below 20 microns if required, and two-dimensional bump bond arrays. In the latter case, the ball bonder will be used in a two-stage process, in which it produces arrays of metal bumps on one component subsequently assembled with a second component.

Options: The Contracting Authority reserves the right to request additional deliveries by the Successful Tenderer, either intended as partial replacement of supplies or installations or as extensions of existing supplies and installations.
