Chris Valentine appointed to help Inseto’s valued customers further de-risk their semiconductor and MEMS fabrication projects.
Andover, United Kingdom – Inseto, a leading technical distributor of equipment and materials, has appointed Chris Valentine in the role of Technical Sales Engineer to work with customers to de-risk their semiconductor and MEMS manufacturing projects, by advising on material selection and the best tools to use for fabrication and test.
Chris Valentine
Valentine has a Masters in Science (MSci) in Physics from the University of Glasgow and a Masters in Research (MRes) from the University of Cambridge. He is also currently working on a thesis that could result in a PhD in Engineering being awarded by the University of Cambridge. Key subjects studied during his time in academia include advanced carbon nanotube electrodes for electromechanical sensing, MEMs manufacture and photolithography, electrical and nano materials, optical microscopy, solid state physics, semiconductor devices, and nuclear and particle physics.
Matt Brown, Director of Inseto, comments: “We are pleased to welcome Chris onboard. He is set to become a valuable extension to our team of technical specialists, and our customers will benefit greatly from the wealth of knowledge Chris gained during his academic studies and in various research projects.”
Valentine’s PhD research work includes the fabrication of electrochemical sensors to detect chemical analytes; the production of structured carbon nanotube electrodes to control porosity and morphology; and making improvements to the sensitivity and selectivity of fabricated sensors.
Inseto launches comprehensive online store for selecting and ordering silicon, silica, glass, coated and SOI wafers.
Andover, United Kingdom –
– Inseto, a leading technical distributor of equipment and materials, has added an online store to its website for semiconductor wafers. The store, which carries Inseto’s current inventory of wafers, including silicon, silica, glass, coated and silicon on insulator (SOI), features secure online payment and rapid delivery of stocked wafers. Also, Inseto’s online inventory is soon to include sapphire, silicon on sapphire (SoS), lithium niobate, germanium and other materials.
Inseto launches comprehensive online store for selecting and ordering silicon, silica, glass, coated and SOI wafers.
A powerful filtering tool enables users to narrow
down their searches by specifying properties common to all wafers, such as
diameter and thickness. Then, depending on wafer material, the properties
become more specific. For example, silicon wafer properties include ingot
growth method, crystallographic orientation, dopant, grade and upper and lower
surface resistivity.
The site also carries a Semiconductor Wafers Selection Guide. This is accessible from within the online store and from within Inseto’s Knowledge Base, a repository of freely available, viewable and downloadable articles and guides. Brown concludes. “At Inseto, we’re all about customer support. It’s in our DNA. Also, whilst the online store has greatly speeded the wafer selection and ordering process, our experts remain on hand to offer advice and guidance if anyone does have questions.”
Matt Brown, Director of Inseto, comments: “We
have ploughed the combined knowledge of our wafer and supply chain experts into
our online store. In our experience, most customers know the exact
specifications of the wafers they need, certainly in the case of repeat orders,
or they wish to rapidly explore a range of properties and available options.”
