Summary
Machine-generated summaryLund University, Department of Physics, through its Lund Nano Lab, is procuring an Electron Beam Lithography Tool for high resolution, repeatable patterning. The instrument should offer a large writing field for high throughput patterning and automated self-calibration routines to support long exposures with minimal errors from beam drift. A flexible sample loading system must handle a wide range of samples, from small pieces for basic science to wafers up to 8 inches in diameter for pilot production testing. The tool will support applications such as quantum devices, high-power electronics and metasurfaces. The contract also covers warranty, packaging, insurance, installation, commissioning, FAT and SAT, duties, transport, training, documentation, support, software updates and packaging producer responsibility charges.
