Hey from Mountain View.

[DaveT.]

I'm Dave, been an Electronics Tech for the last 13 years, repairing, maintaning, engineering upgrades to the CZ method type of silicon crystal growers. Currently we are in the business of growing silicon crystal for the manufacturing of photovoltaic panels.
Sorry to say, but the industry has taken a big dump, we're not selling anything, lots of layoffs and it's not looking any better anytime soon.
I'll be at SEMICON WEST later in the week in San Francisco. If you're going to be there, drop me a line and I'll try to stop by to say hi.
My specialty is mostly in Kayex Crystal Growers.
