Dear Suresh:
It is a pleasure working with you and and your organization on resolving electroforming
issues with your MEMS product. Since my visit on March 14 the progress we have made
is significant.
1) We discussed the reasons for failure of your present product and agreed on a
course of action.
2) We discussed and specified the equipment for prototype feasibility testing and
manufacturing.
3) I spoke with Electrode products and they quoted you Pt/Ti anodes for the plating
bath.
4) I have contacted Enthone regarding chemistry and given you the information
necessary to order plating solution components
5) I spoke with Semitool regarding sample plating of wafers and this is being
scheduled to occur in two to three weeks
6) I requested Semitool invite you to their Technical Seminar in Bethlehem, PA on
March 27 and you have accepted.
7) I spoke with IMI regarding sample plating of wafers and a quotation has been sent
to you.
The easy part is done. Now we need to install a plating bath in your facility and optimize
it to give the deposit material properties you require. Evaluation of parameters such as
temperature, pH, current density, duty cycle, and bath component concentration will be
necessary to arrive at the best operating limits. We will be able to assess how much we
need to vary from standard operating conditions from the data collected from plating in
house and from wafers plated at both IMI and Semitool.
Once again I want to stress that I will do what it takes to insure the success of this project.
I commit to:
1) Traveling to both IMI and Semitool when wafers are plated (or wherever else you
require me to go).
2) Working with you on site and off to insure we can produce product consistently.
3) Evaluating alternate chemistries and deposits with you if we decide this is the
correct course of action.
I have enclosed a bill for services to date and an expense report with receipts for limo
service to and from Newark Airport on March 14.
