The Supply and Commissioning of a Large Area Ion Beam Deposition System for Optical Coatings

Tender description

This contract is for the provision of a large area ion beam deposition system. The University require a supplier the supply and commissioning a Large Area Ion Bean Deposition System for Optical Coatings. The supplier must be able to maintain and service the system for the duration of the contract. The offered system must be an automated and integrated ion beam deposition system capable of depositing thin films layers of dielectric materials into multilayer stacks/structures capable of fabricating Bragg reflectors with >99.9% reflectivity, narrowband notch filters through demonstration of absolute thickness uniformity of ≤1% across 620 mm diameter and ≤ 0.2% over 150 mm diameter. The system should be capable of coating substrates up to 620 mm diameter with mass of 200 kg. The system should be easily configurable to deposit coatings on smaller substrates circa. 20-150 mm diameter. A full specification of the requirement can be found via the Public Contracts Tender (PCS-T) system.
