Lot details

Lot 1

We require an Inductively Coupled Plasma Reactive-Ion Etching (ICP-RIE) system for high quality etching (high etch rates, side wall angle control and low sidewall roughness) of - silicon, - silicon compounds (e.g. SiC, Si3N4), - compound III-V & compound II-VI semiconductors (e.g. AlGaInP, InGaP, AlGaAs, InP, GaAs, GaN, etc.), - dielectrics (e.g. ZnO2, TiO, ITO, Al2O3, ZrO2, etc.), - metals (e.g. Cr, Al, Ti, Au, W, Pt, etc.) and - organics (e.g. resists like SU8, S1818, etc and polymers like parylene, PS etc) containing an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) source for the generation of plasmas with high ion density, low ion energy and narrow energy distribution (ion energy and ion density are separately controllable via an included bias generator). The ICP-RIE etcher should be fully clean room-compatible. Wafers should be loaded into the etching chamber via a vacuum load lock for process stability, short process cycle times and safety issues. The substrate electrode should be He back-side cooled for dynamic, direct and very efficient temperature control of the substrate in a range of -20 °C to 150 °C, which may require the attachment of an external chiller (to be included in quotation). The etcher should be equipped with a laser interferometer to allow for live detection of the etching progress, and optionally also with an optical emission spectrometer for monitoring of chamber condition. The etcher should be compatible with fluorinated and chlorinated gases. The entire system should be operated from a PC (to be included in delivery). Additional information: All Tenders for the University of St Andrews are administered through our e-Tendering System (InTend).

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 42. The category anchor is Vacuum pumps (42122450); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 423,0194 median · 52 average (1,181 of 3,019 with a bid count)5.9 average (1,275 of 3,019 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

    "reviewDetails": "The University of St Andrews will incorporate a minimum of 10 calendar day standstill period at the point of information on the award of the contract being communicated to tenderers. This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further debriefing from the contracting authority before the contract is entered into. Applicants have 2 working days from the notification of the award decision to request additional debriefing and that information has to be provided a minimum of 3 working days before the expiry of the standstill period. Such additional information should be requested from The University of St Andrews.\nIf an appeal regarding the award of contract has not been successfully resolved The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2012 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rule to take action in the Sheriff Court or Court of Session.\nThe anticipated review body in such cases would be:\nDundee Sheriff Court\n6 West Bell Street\nDundee\nDD1 9AD\nTelephone: +44 1382 229 961\nAnyone bringing court proceedings against the University of St Andrews must inform the University of St Andrews in advance of the alleged breach and its intention to bring proceedings. Any such action must be brought within 15 days of the date on which a decision is sent to them or published to challenge that decision.\nProceedings seeking an ineffectiveness order must be brought within 30 days of the publication of the contract award notice in the OJEU, or 30 days from the date of a decision letter to all tenderers concerned, and any candidates concerned, containing a summary of the reason for the recipient being unsuccessful, otherwise 6 months from the date of entering into the contract or concluding the framework agreement.\nWhere a contract has not been entered into the Court may, by interim order, suspend the procurement procedure. The court may also set aside a decision or actions taken by the University or order it to amend and document; and/or award damages. However, by express requirement the court may decide not to grant an interim order when the negative consequences of such an order are likely to outweigh the benefits, having regard to a number of considerations.\nIf the contract has been entered into the Court may, depending on the nature of the breach: make an ineffectiveness order; impose a financial penalty; shorten the duration of the contract; make any other order considered appropriate to address the consequences of ineffectiveness or shortening the duration or the contract; award damages.",

Such additional information should be requested from The University of St Andrews.\nIf an appeal regarding the award of contract has not been successfully resolved The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2012 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rule to take action in the Sheriff Court or Court of Session.\nThe anticipated review body in such cases would be:\nDundee Sheriff Court\n6 West Bell Street\nDundee\nDD1 9AD\nTelephone: +44 1382 229 961\nAnyone bringing court proceedings against the University of St Andrews must inform the University of St Andrews in advance of the alleged breach and its intention to bring proceedings. Any such action must be brought within 15 days of the date on which a decision is sent to them or published to challenge that decision.\nProceedings seeking an ineffectiveness order must be brought within 30 days of the publication of the contract award notice in the OJEU, or 30 days from the date of a decision letter to all tenderers concerned, and any candidates concerned, containing a summary of the reason for the recipient being unsuccessful, otherwise 6 months from the date of entering into the contract or concluding the framework agreement.\nWhere a contract has not been entered into the Court may, by interim order, suspend the procurement procedure. The court may also set aside a decision or actions taken by the University or order it to amend and document; and/or award damages. However, by express requirement the court may decide not to grant an interim order when the negative consequences of such an order are likely to outweigh the benefits, having regard to a number of considerations.\nIf the contract has been entered into the Court may, depending on the nature of the breach: make an ineffectiveness order; impose a financial penalty; shorten the duration of the contract; make any other order considered appropriate to address the consequences of ineffectiveness or shortening the duration or the contract; award damages.",

        "description": "We require an Inductively Coupled Plasma Reactive-Ion Etching (ICP-RIE) system for high quality etching (high etch rates, side wall angle control and low sidewall roughness) of\n- silicon,\n- silicon compounds (e.g. SiC, Si3N4),\n- compound III-V & compound II-VI semiconductors (e.g. AlGaInP, InGaP, AlGaAs,  InP, GaAs, GaN, etc.),\n- dielectrics (e.g. ZnO2, TiO, ITO, Al2O3, ZrO2, etc.),\n- metals (e.g. Cr, Al, Ti, Au, W, Pt, etc.) and\n- organics (e.g. resists like SU8, S1818, etc and polymers like parylene, PS etc)\ncontaining an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) source for the generation of plasmas with high ion density, low ion energy and narrow energy distribution (ion energy and ion density are separately controllable via an included bias generator).\nThe ICP-RIE etcher should be fully clean room-compatible.  Wafers should be loaded into the etching chamber via a vacuum load lock for process stability, short process cycle times and safety issues.  The substrate electrode should be He back-side cooled for dynamic, direct and very efficient temperature control of the substrate in a range of -20 °C to 150 °C, which may require the attachment of an external chiller (to be included in quotation).  The etcher should be equipped with a laser interferometer to allow for live detection of the etching progress, and optionally also with an optical emission spectrometer for monitoring of chamber condition.  The etcher should be compatible with fluorinated and chlorinated gases.  The entire system should be operated from a PC (to be included in delivery).
