Coming up in February

Thank you Joan, you were great!

To those folks that missed this months presentation you missed a very good one!!

We had a little problem with the venue again so we, Alix and I, have decided to change the location. The new location is a small Bar & Grill named La Pita, 505 South Mill Ave, in Tempe. It is just south of the Library. It is also a pretty good Mideastern restaurant.

The next speaker on February 12, 2008, is Timothy C. Eschrich; Process Engineering Manager, ASU Center for Solid State Electronics Research (CSSER). Tim has over 25 years experience in the semiconductor industry, spanning industrial R&D, volume manufacturing and university research. He has contributed in the areas of compound semiconductors, CMOS processing, flat panel display technologies, Si-MEMS and novel thin film thermoelectric materials. His recent activities at CSSER have included photo lithography, wet and plasma etching, and metallization for a wide range of materials systems. Professional activities include AVS membership and publications including one patent and over 20 refereed papers and presentations.His talk will provide an overview of the capabilities of the ASU Nanofab, a 4000 SF Class 100 research facility. It is available for both academic research and support of both start up and larger companies in AZ. Mechanisms to make use of the facility will also be reviewed..

We do not have a speaker for March yet so if you have a suggestion please let me know.
