Summary

Machine-generated summary

University of Strathclyde sought an advanced backgrind tape laminator and de-taping turnkey platform for the National Centre for Advanced Semiconductor Packaging (NCASP). The equipment must laminate and de-tape 6 inch, 8 inch and 12 inch thin wafers used in photonics. The purchase supports a UK open-access semiconductor packaging facility that will connect device design to domestic packaging, test and metrology. Community benefits were included in the requirement and the ITT was conducted via PCS-Tender under project code 32461. Bidding closed on 2026-08-17.

Description

Background The UK urgently requires a sovereign, open-access advanced semiconductor packaging capability to close a well-evidenced market failure. Today, UK innovators in photonics and power electronics rely on overseas Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) facilities for scaling to volume packaging, which fragments the supply chain, extends lead times, increases Intellectual Property (IP) leakage risk, and exposes critical technologies to geopolitical disruption. The National Centre for Advanced Semiconductor Packaging (NCASP) is the missing link that converts research excellence into manufacturable products. NCASP is creating an integrated, industry-led scale-up facility that connects UK device design to domestic, high-volume packaging, test and metrology - reducing time-to-market and anchoring value onshore. Description As part of this project NMIS requires an advanced backgrind tape laminator and de-taping turnkey platform to laminate and de-tape 6", 8" and 12" thin wafers that are required for photonics.
