The procurement stage is at the planning phase with a future notice date set for 1st May 2024. The University aims to expand its manufacturing capability into the semiconductor advanced packaging area, focusing on power electronic semiconductors. The tender value amounts to £70,000 GBP for purchasing the equipment and associated ancillaries. This tender from the University of Strathclyde presents an opportunity for businesses that supply equipment related to acoustic microscopy inspection capabilities. Companies in the semiconductor manufacturing sector, especially those involved in power electronic semiconductors, would be well-suited to compete for this procurement. The University seeks a supplier to deliver, install, and commission the equipment, specifically a C-SAM (scanning acoustic microscope) capability for non-destructive inspection during the semiconductor packaging process. The supplier must provide high-resolution images and meet specific size and suitability requirements for semiconductor manufacturing. ## Notice NMIS is in the process of expanding its manufacturing capability into the semiconductor advanced packaging area with specific focus on power electronic semiconductors. To support this expansion, NMIS intends to procure equipment that is flexible to support a wide variety of power electronic semiconductor designs and packaging requirements. The focus of this an upcoming ITT will be procuring equipment to support Scanning Acoustic Microscopy inspection capabilities along with any and all associated ancillaries required. ### Lot Information Lot 1 NMIS is in the process of expanding its manufacturing capability into the semiconductor advanced packaging area with specific focus on power electronic semiconductors. To support this expansion, NMIS intends to procure equipment that can support a wide variety of power electronic semiconductor designs and packaging requirements. The concept design for the facility includes provision of equipment that is sufficiently flexible to support a wide variety of power electronic semiconductor designs and packaging requirements. The items procured will enable NMIS to set up a research facility for developing and scaling-up advanced packaging capabilities for power electronic semiconductors. The overall facility will have capability to prepare, dice/cut, bond, interconnect, package, and test semiconductor products that are part of the power electronics sector. These stages will be carried out across dedicated research and development cells. The focus of this an upcoming ITT will be procuring equipment to support acoustic microscopy inspection capabilities along with any and all associated ancillaries required. The University is seeking a supplier to supply, deliver, install, and commission the equipment. We require a C-SAM (scanning acoustic microscope) capability to support manufacturing in our Advanced Semiconductor Packaging Line. C-SAM is required to non-destructively inspect work-pieces at various stages of our semiconductor packaging process. We require a machine that can accept samples approximately 500 x 500 mm, and is suitable for use in a semiconductor manufacturing context to detect delamination and other structural discontinuities in semiconductor packages. Machine outputs should include high resolution C-Scan images, and possibly A- and B- scan images. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR500455 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Mar 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 May 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £70,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF STRATHCLYDE | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G1 1XQ | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North East | | Delivery location | TLM82 Glasgow City | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting ### Codes - 31712330 - Semiconductors ## Release History - 8 Mar 2024 at 00:00 - Planning - PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR500455 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR500455 Provision of dedicated Scanning Acoustic Microscopy inspection equipment. - NMIS is in the process of expanding its manufacturing capability into the semiconductor advanced packaging area with specific focus on power electronic semiconductors.
