    Danmarks Tekniske Universitet - DTU needs a Photonic Wafer Probe Station and a Photonic Assembly Station for a 1-year contract, with a maximum total value of 1,250,000 EUR, to be delivered in the Copenhagen area. The Photonic Assembly Station is for connecting fibre array units (FAUs) to an optical chip, supporting research, prototyping, process development, pilot manufacturing, and low-volume production activities within DTU Nano's advanced fabrication facility. The Photonic Wafer Probe Station is for characterizing the quality of photonic integrated circuits (PICs), including both optical and electrical performance, and supporting research, development, process qualification, and routine characterization activities. ficonTEC Service GmbH likely has a similar contract today. The award criteria are Price (17.6471%), Machine (incl. physical requirements) (8.8235% for each lot), Process (23.5294% for each lot), and Installation, service and guarantee (8.8235% for each lot). Suppliers must have had a net turnover of at least 10,000,000 DKK for each of the last 3 audited financial years and a positive equity for the last 3 audited financial years. Additionally, suppliers must provide at least 2 references for comparable agreements (value of at least 3,000,000 DKK) concerning the delivery of Photonic Wafer Probe Stations or comparable photonic equipment, with the agreements not being more than 3 years old.

    About the bid

      This tender concerns DTU Nano's planned procurement of a Photonic Assembly Station and a Photonic Wafer Probe Station. The tender is split into to two lots – one for each of the two stations. Tenderers may choose to bid on one or both lots, which will be evaluated and awarded individually. The assembly station is for connecting fibre array units (FAUs) to an optical chip. The type of connection will be edge coupling using waveguides loops for alignment but if necessary, the alignment can also be performed either using the light source on the chip (if it exists) or by using an external light source and connecting two FAUs, one on each side of the chip. Thus, the main purpose of the machine is to do assembly and fiber attachment of photonic chips. The system shall support research, prototyping, process development, pilot manufacturing, and low-volume production activities within DTU Nano's advanced fabrication facility.  DTU has activities within Silicon Photonics (SiPh), Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), Optical transceivers, Laser modules, Photodetectors, Fiber-optic assemblies, Co-packaged optics and Quantum photonic devices which we want to support in the best possible way. DTU therefore intends to purchase a reconfigurable, flexible, versatile machine. The purpose of the photonic wafer probe station is to characterise the quality of photonic integrated circuits (PICs). It should be possible to characterise both optical and electrical performance. For the optical characterisation, the main coupling in/out technique will be through grating couplers, but the equipment should be possible to be configured also for edge coupling to component facets in a grove on the wafer. In this case, different holders and fibres may be needed. The electrical characteristics are to be characterised both in DC as well as RF up to 40GHz using probe and/or probe cards. The system shall support research, development, process qualification, and routine characterization activities within DTU Nano's advanced fabrication facility.Main features of the procedureTenderers may only participate in this tender if they are not encompassed by any of the grounds for exclusion and if they comply with DTU’s minimum requirements for suitability. Any tenderer that meets these conditions for participation may submit a tender.

    Award Criteria

    • Description

      The price to be evaluated is “Technical evaluation price”, specified in Appendix 2 – Prices. DTU uses a linear point scale model to evaluate the Tenderers’ prices. The linear model implies that the offered prices are converted into points. The offered prices are awarded points on a scale from 0-10. Thus, lowest price is awarded maximum points 10, while prices that are 100% or more expensive / higher than the lowest price are awarded 0 points. Other prices in between are awarded points according to the formula for linear interpolation.
