The Axcelis plant tour was an interesting field trip. We took a tour through their 10K clean room (yes, we got to dress up in the visitor blue jump suits with hair nets, gloves and booties). The 10K designates the cleanliness of the room based on the number of "particles" per cubic foot. This facility had 100, 1000, 10,000, and 100,000 designated clean rooms. They also showed us a sample of their product on a test stand. Very cool to see this completely new (to me, that is) technology. The whole facility was impressive to see after working in the Detroit auto-industry. I just couldn't believe how clean everything was. Clean rooms and gowns for everyone.
And one more follow-up: after my PSA of backing your stuff up ALWAYS, I finally finished my previously deleted mid-term - over 10 hours of work for a three question problem set. Finally done.
Off to Chicago for a wedding this weekend. Lots of catchup reading to do on the plane.
More later...
