Coverage: 55 active published awards; 14 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

Procedure rationaleICS has undertaken a technical review of the market and believes that only one supplier Raith can provide a maskless laser lithography system meeting these combined requirements for stage precision, stitch free wafer scale patterning, and proven sub 20 nm optical to electron beam overlay accuracy. No other commercially available maskless optical system is known to provide these capabilities.
