Procedure
Title DUV Stepper
Description To ensure the continuation of small and medium sized companies chip production and development in Danmark DTU Nanolab want to purchase a new (non-refurbished) DUV stepper using a 248 nm wavelength laser as illumination source (KrF laser unit from CYMER). It must furthermore be possible to handle several different wafer types and sizes: Wafer materials: Silicon, LNOI, Borofloat, quartz, III-V Wafer sizes in diameter: 100mm, 150mm and 200mm, furthermore it must be equipped with a multi wafer handling kit such that easy switching between at least 150mm and 200mm wafers is possible without longer downtime for reconfiguration of the equipment. Wafer thickness to be handled are from 350µm up to 1000µm and they can come with a bow up to at least +/- 200um for some wafers. As well as wafers with either notch or primary and secondary flats. It should also be equipped with a through silicon alignment possibility. The equipment must further have the possibility of off-axis as well as dipole illumination. Reuse of existing reticles and easy transfer of existing job files from the DUV stepper FPA-3000EX4 are essential. Due to space restriction the footprint of the main body must not exceed 2000mm x 3000mm x 2700mm (W x D x H).

General information
Additional information DTU Nanolab owns a DUV stepper FPA-3000EX4 equipped with a KrF laser delivering light with a wavelength of 248nm. The DUV stepper can realise patterns down to ca 160 nm with a throughput of more than 120 wafers/hour. It is a former production equipment from 1998 that DTU Nanolab purchased in 2012. Due to the high throughput and reproducibility, the DUV stepper is heavily used by small and medium sized companies for small scale production and development. The equipment is also used by research groups who need structures in the 200nm range with high reproducibility and high coverage of larger areas on 4”, 6” and 8” wafers. Due to the age of the DUV stepper we are more often experiencing faults that can be connected to the age of the equipment (like communication errors and worn-out parts) and it is getting more difficult if not impossible to get spare parts for reparations and general maintenance. To ensure the continuation of small and medium sized companies chip production and development in Danmark DTU Nanolab want to purchase a new (non-refurbished) DUV stepper.

6. Results
Direct award
Justification for direct award The contract can be provided only by a particular economic operator because of an absence of competition for technical reasons
Other justification DTU needs a flexible tool for research and small-scale production with a 248 nm wavelength laser. As a part of our market survey, we have been in contact with the known suppliers of DUV steppers, but Canon is the only possible supplier. To our knowledge there is therefore only one supplier on the market that can deliver a DUV stepper with the required specifications.
