MDC Vacuum Products, LLC (Hayward, California) announced the appointment of Robert Malley as Chief Operations Officer effective November 17, 2008.
Prior to joining MDC, Mr. Malley served as Vice President of Global Materials and Manufacturing at Intevac (Santa Clara, California), where he led the global materials, manufacturing, logistics, and new product operations groups. He also successfully developed and implemented volume manufacturing, materials/supply chain, and logistics operations in Singapore and supervised field logistics operations in five other countries.
Prior to Intevac, Mr. Malley spent 13 years at Applied Materials (Santa Clara, California), where he served in executive and management roles in IT, product operations, materials, pilot manufacturing, manufacturing engineering, and volume manufacturing. He also served as an Engineer Officer in the U.S. Army with roles as professor of mechanical engineering at West Point, Company Commander in the 82nd Airborne Division, and junior officer leadership roles in the 24th Infantry Division. Mr. Malley is a graduate of West Point, and holds a masters of science degree in mechanical engineering from Stanford University (Palo Alto, California).
Getting accurate IR spectra on monolayer of molecules
April 18th 2024Creating uniform and repeatable monolayers is incredibly important for both scientific pursuits as well as the manufacturing of products in semiconductor, biotechnology, and. other industries. However, measuring monolayers and functionalized surfaces directly is. difficult, and many rely on a variety of characterization techniques that when used together can provide some degree of confidence. By combining non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) and IR spectroscopy, IR PiFM provides sensitive and accurate analysis of sub-monolayer of molecules without the concern of tip-sample cross contamination. Dr. Sung Park, Molecular Vista, joined Spectroscopy to provide insights on how IR PiFM can acquire IR signature of monolayer films due to its unique implementation.
