About

Great Northeast Nanofab (GNN), hosted by Newcastle University, is seeking a supplier for the supply, delivery, installation and ongoing maintenance of a high-resolution maskless aligner for UV (375 nm) photolithography to be installed in its new micro/nanofabrication clean room. The GNN will operate as a regional open-access facility for academia and low TRL commercial developments in a hub-and-spoke model, and high-resolution photolithography has been identified as a critical capability gap. This procurement is externally funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
