The University of Strathclyde has a requirement for a semiconductor wafer thinning capability suitable to receive wafers of various sizes and materials and grind, stress relieve and clean them before onward processing in a power semiconductor packaging line. The line will allow research to be performed on a variety of materials and processes involved in the manufacture of semiconductor products. This is in support of a publicly funded project that will see the creation of an advanced, scaleup packaging facility for power electronics within the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS). The overall scale up manufacturing facility is to be housed at an NMIS site, this sub-section of the facility will be housed in an ISO-7 (class 10,000) clean room environment. The equipment within the facility will comprise the latest technology in their respective fields. It will be utilized in a range of projects within the Power Electronics industry and will be made available to both academic and industrial partners across the whole of the United Kingdom, including other catapult centres. As part of this project, NMIS has a requirement to procure a turnkey capability in wafer thinning, polishing, cleaning - which includes water management ancillary systems.
