  • If you would like to work on a semiconductor fab tool that uses arrays of 100s of these MEMS-based AFMs for solving metrology and inspection challenges to boost yield, please reach out to me at [firstname]@icspicorp.com!

  • In my first internship, with a hard disk drive company, I learned how to use an Atomic Force Microscope to measure the roughness of the hard drive platter (the disk). The texture variation is in the order of angstroms or nanometers. It’s incredible how the AFM works like the needle of a record player, not via optics, and sensing at the atomic level.

  • I'm always happy to see one of my videos on HN! I'm really glad to be getting back into the habit of making new videos. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. See you at Open Sauce!
