The Institute of Photonics is seeking to complement their cleanroom micro-fabrication facility equipment with an Inductively Coupled Plasma Etcher. The system will be used to process semiconductor materials typically (but not limited to) Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon (Si) passive and active devices. The system will be employed for academic research. It is purposed to bring extra capability to already existing assets.
 The system sought after is destined to provide the capability of chlorinated and fluorinated distinct plasma etchings. Chlorine-based etch rates for GaN should be in the order of few hundreds of nanometres per minute (c.a. 500 nm/min). Selectivity to typical masking material such as photoresist and silica (SiO2) should be guaranteed. Fluorinated-based plasma in a Deep Reactive Ion Etching mode of Silicon should be provisioned to execute the Bosch process.
 The system should allow the load-lock handling and processing of a single 4” wafer.. The University is publishing this PIN for initial Market Research and Engagement purposes. The University may conduct further market engagement with the suppliers that note interest in this opportunity.

TENDERERS PLEASE NOTE:
 .
 Late Tenders will not be considered under any circumstances.

 For the avoidance of any doubt, automated messages confirming receipt of a Tender should not be taken to imply acceptance of it by the Council.

 Police Scotland identified a number of business areas that have a high risk of infiltration by Serious and Organised Crime groups; this Framework belongs to one such area and as such the Council reserves the right to include enhanced probity checks prior to any contract award, including sharing tenderer information with Police Scotland.
 The tender pack includes a schedule for the Declaration of non-involvement in serious organised crime; this is a mandatory tender submission requirement for all tenderers.
 .
 The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this PQQ exercise. The Project code is 28578. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343
 A sub-contract clause has been included in this contract. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2363
 The Contracting Authority does not intend to include any community benefit requirements in this contract for the following reason:
 This Flexible Framework is not providing any guarantee of work; any contracts will be across a vast number of learning providers and it is therefore overly complex to achieve useage at this stage and it is anticipated that none of them would reach the threshold where it would be reasonable to expect Community Benefits to be accrued.
 .
 The nature of this Framework already has benefits to the community ingrained within it as the sole purpose is to enhance the employability skills and post school pathways that will better equip our young people for the world of work. A significant focus of this Framework will be to ensure adequate specialist provision is available for our schools and programmes supporting pupils with complex and additional needs.

The works form part of a continuing programme of targeted forest to bog restoration which has been carried out at Forsinard by RSPB since 1997 with the long-term aim of restoring the blanket bogs of the Flows back to their pre-1970 naturally unafforested state.
 The site was felled to waste in 2002-2004 when the trees were between 14 and 18 years old. It then received restoration treatments in 2014-2016 for brash crushing and furrow blocking. Brash and stumps present on site from this period are very brittle due to their age. Management since was limited to the control of regenerating conifers done on several occasions, the latest between 2022 and 2025, therefore regen is not expected to be an issue for the work, apart from some material left on the ground.
 Re-profiling in areas previously furrow blocked with full height dams. Bog vegetation and Sphagnum moss that has colonised the drains should be removed from the drains before infilling and placed on top of the newly reprofiled surface in a step-wise progression down each furrow. Infilling will be achieved by firstly crushing down all dead tree material so that all stems and branches lie in the bottom of the furrows and below the height of the original ground surface (i.e. the section between the plough throws). The excavator will then use a bucket to pull/push stumps, and ridge vegetation and peat into furrows, keeping the vegetated turf upright. The strip of bare ground left behind from moving the ridge material into the furrow will then we covered with the furrow vegetation removed from the next section before infilling. Once a block is complete, it is then cross-tracked to smooth the surface. Cross-tracking will be achieved by driving a tracked, low-ground-pressure excavator at right angles to the plough-lines to further flatten the topography and any tree material. The aim of this process will be to level the ridged ground that resulted from the ploughing operation during historical conifer planting. This treatment will be carried out on top of existing furrow blocking.
