Molecular Imprints Hires 2 VPs

Nanopatterning systems provider Molecular Imprints Inc. of Austin, Texas, announced that Ben Eynon and Paul Hofemann have joined its management team as vice president of marketing and business development for semiconductors, and vice president of marketing and business development for hard disk drives and emerging markets, respectively. Eynon will oversee development and integration of Molecular Imprints' S-FIL nanopatterning technology at semiconductor makers, in addition to managing the company's development partnership with SEMATECH. Hofemann is responsible for expanding the company's share in the hard disk drive (HDD) market and will drive its efforts in emerging nanopatterning markets including optical components, solid-state lighting, biotechnology and "green" applications. Eynon most recently served as director of advanced lithography process development for Samsung and associate director of lithography for SEMATECH. He has held management positions at KLA-Tencor, Photronics, DuPont Photomasks and Texas Instruments. Hofemann previously held vice president-level roles in marketing and business development at Photronics, ADE and Veeco Instruments and also held management positions at KLA-Tencor, Semi-Gas Systems and Applied Materials.

There are 1309 suppliers of Optical Components in the Photonics Marketplace.

Glossary

lithography: Lithography is a key process used in microfabrication and semiconductor manufacturing to create intricate patterns on the surface of substrates, typically silicon wafers. It involves the transfer of a desired pattern onto a photosensitive material called a resist, which is coated onto the substrate. The resist is then selectively exposed to light or other radiation using a mask or reticle that contains the pattern of interest. The lithography process can be broadly categorized into several...
nano: An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
photonics: The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
