Tender description
Tenders are sought for the supply delivery, installation and commissioning of a suite of tools in 4 Lots for silicon-based and dielectric materials for University College Cork. The new plasma tools will enhance the capabilities at the Tyndall National Institute for the fabrication of semiconductor devices, especially silicon microelectronics and silicon MEMS, but also other materials such as germanium and silicon carbide. We invite proposals for the following lots; Lot 1 Plasma Etcher Silicon Dielectrics, advanced plasma etching system capable of etching for polysilicon poly-Si silicon dioxide SiO2 silicon nitride SiN thin films using medium high-density plasma processes. Lot 2 Plasma Etcher Metals Piezoelectrics, advanced plasma etching system capable of etching for aluminium Al and alloys molybdenum Mo aluminium scandium nitride AlScN thin films using medium high-density plasma processes. Lot 3 Plasma Etcher Slow and Controllable Rate Atomic Layer Etch for Silicon Dielectrics, advanced plasma etching system capable of both conventional high-rate etching and slow and controllable rate atomic layer etching for silicon Si silicon dioxide SiO2 silicon nitride SiN thin films using medium high-density plasma processes. Lot 4 Plasma Deposition PECVD, advanced plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition system capable of depositing dielectric SiO2, SiN and amorphous a-Si thin films on semiconductor substrates. This equipment will be essential for etching and depositing a range of materials used in the fabrication of silicon microelectronics, silicon photonics and silicon MEMS devices. The ideal tools will offer precision, reliability, and efficiency to meet the requirements for etching and deposition on both 100 mm and 200 mm diameter wafers. Tenderers with cutting-edge solutions that can achieve these high standards are encouraged to submit their proposals for this vital component in our technological advancement.

Prior Information Notice – Sputter Deposition
The Ferdinand-Braun-Institut (FBH) plans to procure a sputter deposition system within the framework of the EU-funded APECS programme. The system will be used for the deposition of metallic and insulating thin films on semiconductor wafers with diameters of up to 200 mm. It is intended to support advanced heterogeneous integration technologies, including InP-on-Si (BiCMOS) platforms. The equipment shall enable highly controlled thin-film processes such as metallization, interconnect formation, passivation and barrier layer deposition. A multi-chamber cluster system with integrated cleaning and deposition capabilities is required to ensure high process quality and contamination control. The system will be installed in a cleanroom environment and must be compatible with semiconductor manufacturing requirements. The procurement procedure is planned for 2026. - University College CorkCorkDeadline: Jul 24

LA3673C-UCC-CFT for the Supply of a Fully Integrated Precision Ferroelectric and Piezoelectric Analysis Platform
Tyndall National Institute, University College Cork requests the supply of a Precision Ferroelectric and Piezoelectric Analysis Platform, comprising of seven complementary subsystems with functionality requirements as follows 1. Measurement Core 2. Optical Metrology 3. Thermal Modules 4. HV Subsystem 5. Fixturing and Probing 6. Workstation 7. Infrastructure The Platform must have the ability to perform comprehensive, high resolution ferroelectric and piezoelectric characterisation of ferroic materials, spanning bulk ceramics, ultrathin films and full wafers, across a broad temperature range. The primary purpose of this platform is to provide a unified, high performance infrastructure for the fundamental research and industrial benchmarking of advanced ferroic and piezoelectric materials. It will be utilised for the precision characterisation of material properties at various stages of development, from initial thin film growth and bulk ceramic synthesis to full wafer level device integration and reliability testing, supporting the development of next generation sensors, actuators, and beyond CMOS computing architectures. Materials with controlled ferroic responses are key to enabling next generation technologies. Ferroelectric and piezoelectric materials are vital for precision actuators, sensors, photonic systems, and non volatile memories, while multiferroics, combining electric and magnetic order, present transformative potential for ultra low power, non volatile logic and memory. - Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft - Einkauf B12Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE Heidenhofstraße 2 79110 Freiburg
Facet passivation and coating system (HHI-08) - PR1216551-3220-P
The tendered system is intended for the deposition of optical functional coatings on opto‑electronic semiconductor devices, in particular for anti‑reflection coatings and facet passivation of high‑power laser devices. In high‑power lasers, defects at the facet surface can lead to localized hot spots and thermal damage. Conventional sputtering processes involve comparatively high ion energies, which may adversely affect sensitive facet surfaces. Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) plasma‑assisted deposition enables a significant reduction of ion impact energy by decoupling plasma generation from ion acceleration, allowing gentle and reliable coating. For this reason, an ECR‑based coating system is mandatory for the present application.
