Product development starts in earnest.
In the past, marketing, product design, product test and sales were all considered separate and serial partners in bringing a new product to market. However, with increasing competition in the semiconductor equipment business, shorter design cycles and demanding customers, there is no longer any time to develop products in the traditional linear fashion. Instead, the end can be achieved must faster using an integrated team approach as the means. Or perhaps, like me, you simply want to do something fun and useful. Many different approaches are taken to enhance the cleaning technology for the semiconductor industry, both in terms of the chemistry and process equipment used.
