issue of lens heating, saving the company 20 million dollars.

. Increased the wafer yield by integrating a software enhancement,

Dosemapper, to improve the uniformity of the line width.

. Developed and Implemented a new cathode foil process that was

successfully commercialized.

. Hold 7 patents on a continuous aluminum casting process.

. Managed a research and development project on a single roll continuous

caster.

. Saved the company 1 million dollars by process and quality

improvements: testing ceramic foam filters for best price/quality,
