That being said I have been involved in the semiconductor industry since 1970 and have held a number of titles such as process engineer, section manager, plasma etch engineer for many years. I started and equipment company in 2000 for new and used equipment sales. Currently, I am winding down my operation to concentrate on a new technology we developed at Etched In Time, Inc. I have been a member of this site for a number of years but I respect the no sales commitment the site asks to follow. I have placed sputtering systems with Berkeley and a number of other universities thru the years and can provide superior references for you to check out. I currently have an MRC 943 sputtering system that EITI completely rebuilt for a Motorola facility in 2001. It has upgraded controls and comes with a substantial spare parts inventory. I recently repurchased it when Motorola closed down the R&D facility it was installed in. This system has 3 cathodes set up for DC magnetron deposition primarily for metals. If you want you can call me at 602-206-6154 for more details. Additionally, I am currently trying to purchase an evaporation system we installed at a local company but I have not inked a purchase yet. Sorry about the length of this email but better safe than sorry. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Bob Henderson-President<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Etched In Time, Inc.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>941 S.
