About This Opportunity

This is a supplies contract in the Research sector. Located in Ireland, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums, with an estimated budget of EUR 3.3 million. Proposals must be submitted before July 7, 2026.

Published through TED - Tenders Electronic Daily (EU), a national government procurement portal. Public procurement tenders follow the country's national bidding regulations and may have specific eligibility and documentation requirements for the supply of goods in the Research sector. Supply contracts typically require bidders to demonstrate product compliance with technical specifications, delivery capacity, and relevant certifications. Interested parties should review the full documentation on the original source before submitting their proposal.

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.
