ACAN 26-58022 Automated Wafer Defect Inspection System and ICP Plasma Processing ModuleThe National Research Council Canada, through the Canadian Photonics Fabrication Centre, intends to procure an Automated Wafer Defect Inspection System (Surface Defect Inspection Platform - SDIP) and an Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Processing Module to support advanced semiconductor photonic device fabrication. The SDIP system must provide non-destructive, laser-based, high-resolution optical surface inspection capable of detecting and characterizing sub-micron defects on various compound semiconductor substrates including GaAs, InP, GaN, sapphire, Si, Ge, and GaN on SiC. It will incorporate automated cassette-to-cassette wafer handling, generate detailed defect maps, and support integration with existing inspection workflows and data sets. The ICP processing module must integrate seamlessly with the existing KLA/SPTS Omega fxP plasma processing platform, supporting high-density plasma etching for 4-inch wafers of compound semiconductor materials, maintaining compatibility with current hardware, software, and process controls. Due to the proprietary nature of the existing Omega fxP system, KLA Corporation is the sole supplier capable of meeting the technical requirements and ensuring operational interoperability and system coherence. The procurement is subject to multiple trade agreements with invoked exceptions for limited tendering based on a lack of competition for technical reasons and intellectual property considerations. Delivery deadlines are set for March 31, 2027, for the SDIP system and June 30, 2027, for the ICP module. While a pre-identified supplier has been named, other suppliers may submit statements of capabilities by June 29, 2026, to demonstrate their qualifications for the contract. All supplied electrical equipment must comply with Canadian Electrical Code certification standards.
