For the Supply and Installation of a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) System

The purpose of this invitation is to obtain competitive offers from suppliers who can supply and install a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to enhance its existing metrology capabilities.

Established under the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy, the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF) links 8 university-based nodes to provide researchers and industry with access to state-of-the-art fabrication facilities.

The nodes, which are located across Australia, draw on existing infrastructure and expertise. Each offers a specific area of expertise including advanced materials, nano electronics & photonics and bio nano applications. Our commitment to providing a world-class user facility is underpinned by the sharing of best practice in service provision across the nodes.

ANFFQ is the Queensland based node located at both the University of Queensland and Griffith University. The University of Queensland wish to procure a scanning electron microscope for its UQ ANFFQ facility to enhance its existing metrology capabilities.

The system will become a core metrology tool within the ANFFQ cleanroom and will be used on a daily basis by the majority of cleanroom users. ANFFQ has 50 active cleanroom users.
