Applied Materials

The Challenge:

Applied Materials  located at Santa Clara, CA produced a machine for semi-conductor manufactureres that coated flat panel displays.  This was done in a very large and expensive machine that would process several panels in a vacuum chamber and required an even heating process. The heaters they employed were heavy and inefficient as well as costly.

The Solution:

My company, Thermo-Stone USA, provided a new technology using glass ceramic coated a with tin oxide conductive material resulting in higher efficiency, less weight, space savings and lower cost.
