How does ENGR 45 relate to my job?
 Every problem that we solve is related to materials.
– Particularly their Electrical, Chemical, Thermal, & Mechanical
properties.
 The tool I work on removes silicon by creating and
removing oxides.
 Our main Mechanical Engineering challenges:
– Uniformity & Particles
• Uniformity:
– Our process is thermally sensitive.
– Parts need to transfer heat to maintain thermal uniformity across the wafer.
• Particles:
– Our parts cannot corrode or sputter in the chamber.
– We must design with materials that react predictably with our process
chemistry and plasma.
