## Summary

The University of Strathclyde, located in Glasgow, is seeking submissions for a planned procurement titled "Preventative Maintenance and Servicing Support for Upstream Bioprocessing Equipment." This procurement falls under the education industry category with a focus on goods. The project is currently in the planning stage, with significant documents already published. The procurement target involves an Atomic Layer Deposition system for academic research purposes, to be used within a cleanroom micro-fabrication facility. Interested parties are required to express their interest by 9th October 2025, while the future notice date is set for 15th October 2025.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in advanced bioprocessing equipment, particularly those capable of providing systems that encapsulate semiconductor devices like Gallium Nitride and Silicon. Companies with expertise in manufacturing equipment for micro-fabrication facilities or those offering innovative encapsulation technologies will likely find this project aligned with their services and expertise. The ability to supply an Atomic Layer Deposition system that allows for high-precision conformal nanoscale growth of materials positions businesses to contribute significantly to academic research advancements, thereby fostering business growth and strengthening ties with the educational sector.

## Notice

An Atomic Layer Deposition system is sought after to encapsulate semiconductor active devices such as (but not limited to) Gallium Nitride and Silicon. The ideal system will be deployed for academic research and located within a cleanroom micro-fabrication facility.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Institute of Photonics is seeking to complement their cleanroom micro-fabrication facility equipment with an Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) system. The ALD will be used to encapsulate semiconductor active devices typically (but not limited to) Gallium Nitride (GaN) light-emitting diodes and Silicon (Si)/ metal-based electrodes. The system will be employed for academic research. It is purposed to bring the unique capability of conformal nanoscale growth of dielectric materials, such as Hafnium oxide (HfO2) and Silica (SiO2), with low-pinhole density. The precursors should be contained within the system itself. Option for high and low (plasma-assisted) temperatures deposition are considered. The system should allow the load-lock loading and process of a single 4" wafer.
