"He set its strategy, built a strong management team, entered new markets, increased shareholder value and grew the company into one of the leading suppliers of capital equipment to the worldwide semiconductor industry."

Plisinksi has served as the Rudolph's executive vice president and chief operating officer since October 2014, with prior roles as vice president and general manager of the company's data analysis and review business unit since February 2006, when Rudolph merged with August Technology Corp.

It encompasses the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement, including the development of measurement standards, techniques, and instruments, as well as the application of measurement principles in various fields. The primary objectives of metrology are to ensure accuracy, reliability, and consistency in measurements and to establish traceability to recognized standards. Metrology plays a crucial role in science, industry,...
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...
