About Me
- Name: Mark Wendman
MICROFAB ENGINEER - CMU '82 - Innovative & Pragmatic. Expert in fixing ANY microfab process problem - limiting yield or performance or R&D. Methodical expedient 6-Sigma focus in problem solving. A consistent track record, with notable yield & microfabrication process improvements for over 27years. Prepares with substantive literature and IP research when appropriate. Example Case - ID'ing root cause & fix to a 3yr old wafer fab IC part in volume production, after IDing cause & fix to -20% fab-wide crash. After IDing low yield cause in 2hrs, tripled IC part’s fab yield in 2mos. Additionally enjoys device/ process inventing & R&D. Veteran of Intel Fab3 '386, Mitel CMOS, Natl Semi Eprom/EE, Cray 3 GaAs, Motorola MOS 8, IC Sensors, Applied Materials/ ETEC Ebeam Litho & Digital Instruments NanoProbes. Expert in Nano and Microfab processes (thin films, etch & Litho), Process / Device Flow Integration & numerous analytical techniques for F/A, notably AFM, SEM, FIB etc.. Competent in numerous novel instrumentation techniques.

- Why Alto? - ALTO being the seminal XEROX PARC graphical GUI PC, that conincidentally was a user of the Intel 1101 256 BIT dram, and ALTO has two meanings in SPANISH - TALL ( the likely intended conferred meaning ; and also STOP - which is bad Karma in this case since STOP commercializing is what XEROX sadly did with this brilliant innovation
