  • PURCH2859 Provision of Contract Agreement for the Purchase of an Ion Beam Etch Tool for the period of 12 months warranty with the option to extend for 5 x 12 months. The ion beam etch (IBE) system shall be an enclosed, floor-standing tool designed for physical etching of metallic, magnetic, dielectric, and semiconductor films on substrates up to 200 mm in diameter, suitable for R&D and pilot-scale manufacturing. It shall provide programmable control of all key process parameters, including beam voltage, beam current, ion energy, incidence angle, substrate rotation, and temperature, enabling precise tuning of etch conditions and reproducible process performance. The system shall support single-angle and multi-angle (rocking) etch modes, and be constructed from materials compatible with cleanroom installation. This procurement process is being conducted using the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation (CPN) in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 30 of the PC(S)R 2015. Although this procurement is being conducted under the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation (CPN), it is structured differently from a typical CPN process. This approach has been adopted to enhance the efficiency of evaluating supplier responses across both stages (SPD and ITT). Please refer to the ITT documents.Value not stated
