Bio: Alvaro E. Neira started his career in vacuum technology, and moved to thin film processes and devices. This is all to enable nanotechnolgy in the semiconductor, storage and optical components realms.
He has ten years experience as a vacuum engineer for physical vapor deposition (PVD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process tools. He has worked on detailed vacuum and gas calculations in most flow regimes, and the use of dimensionless numbers to scale designs.
Alvaro has over five years experience in thin film process engineering, including production and process development. He has also worked in planar magnetron sputterring PVD, atomic layer deposition (ALD), ion beam deposition, and plasma ashing, as well as RF photonic device development.
Alvaro has worked for companies such as IBM Research Division, Alliant Techsystems, Inc. (known as ATK), CVC Division of Veeco, the Materials Research Corporation Division of SONY Corp. of America, Mitsubishi Semiconductor, Axcelis Technologies, and CVD Equipment Corp.
He was awarded his undergraduate and Master’s degrees in Chemical Engineering from City College of New York, and has continued his education with Materials Sciences graduate courses at Polytechnic Institute of NYU.
