II.1.4) Short description
The Device Fabrication Small Research Facility (SRF) currently has one reactive ion etcher (RIE) and two inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etchers (ICPRIE), serving a wide range
of research and industrial customers from across the University and nationally. The SRF is capable of manufacturing Semiconductor devices via a range of standard processes, working alongside our Epitaxy facility growing advanced semiconductor materials. Our research portfolio in these areas is in excess of £50million.
The RIE and ICP equipment is fundamental to device fabrication, and we are planning to expand our capacity to meet increasing demand and to improve customer service. Quotations are required for 1 off of each RIE and ICP, in two separate lots, with the
