Ultra Clean Technology

#MeetUCT » Meet Corey Bigelow, Production Technician IV at UCT's Scarborough facility in Maine! Starting in 2010, Corey has been committed to ensuring the quality of recycled parts, and his experience has propelled him into his current role as a Production Technician. "UCT has empowered me to expand my skills," Corey says. "I've not only gained expertise in quality assurance and product inspection, but also learned to implement Lean Six Sigma and Kaizen principles to create effective and safe work environments." Corey's impact is visible throughout our cleanroom operations. He has partnered with engineering on process improvements, and his insights on product assembly and quality assurance are invaluable. Corey reflects on the many learning experiences that he has gained working in the #semiconductorindustry. “I've been particularly fascinated by the intricacies of surface and atmospheric particle counters, as well as the power of ultrasonic systems.” When he’s not at work, Corey embraces the beautiful Maine landscape — hiking, kayaking, mini-biking, and camping. His energy and dedication are an inspiration to the entire UCT team! #qualityassurance #LeanSixSigma

Today, we join our Korean colleagues and friends within the #semiconductorindustry in celebrating Gwangbokjeol (광복절), Korea's National Liberation Day! This joyous occasion is a time for parades, concerts, and dazzling firework displays across the country. Many historical sites even open their doors for free, inviting everyone to connect with Korea's rich heritage. From the sea of Taegukgi flags waving proudly to the heartwarming tradition of sharing Samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup), Gwangbokjeol is a true #celebration of national unity and pride. Let's all join in the festivities and wish Korea a very Happy National Liberation Day! #culture

Close your eyes for a moment... Can you hear it? The high-pitched whine of a dial-up modem connecting, the rhythmic whir of a floppy disk drive, or the staccato rattle of a dot matrix printer. These sounds were the soundtrack to the early PC era, a time when computers were just beginning to transform our lives. Today, on the anniversary of the IBM PC's release (August 12), we're taking a trip down memory lane. Which of these iconic sounds transports you back to those pioneering days of personal computing? Let us know in the comments or vote in our poll! And for those who missed out on the dial-up symphony, tell us: what sound defines your early tech experiences? #semiconductorindustry #technology #engineering

Our UCT Services and Fluid Solutions teams had a blast at ALD 2024, celebrating “50 years of magic” in atomic layer deposition! We connected with industry leaders and experts, showcasing UCT ChemTrace's proactive contamination monitoring — including precursor, in-film & bevel edge analysis — and precision high-purity, non-destructive part cleaning and coating capabilities. Our discussions highlighted the critical role of ultra-high purity cleaning, coating, and analytical testing in #ALD processes. Fabs using ALD technology can leverage these solutions to optimize performance and yield. A special shoutout to Dan Alvarez, Ph.D. of Purity Resources for stopping by our booth! #semiconductorindustry #innovation

#MeetUCT » We're thrilled to introduce Rahmah Othman, IT Applications Analyst V at our Penang facility in Malaysia! Rahmah brings 33 years of diverse experience across multiple industries, positioning her for success in the manufacturing and #semiconductor sectors. "I was on a break from my previous one-year contract with a pharmaceutical company, working remotely for their headquarters in Europe," Rahmah shared. "UCT offered a permanent position, also working remotely, which fits well with my situation and goals for the next move in my career." Since joining UCT in May 2022, Rahmah has applied her Microsoft Power Platform expertise to develop innovative solutions for user needs and streamline business processes.

The world runs on semiconductors, but where’s the emoji? Celebrate World Emoji Day by showing your support for the #semiconductor emoji. Semiconductors have been making headlines lately, from SEMICON West's appearance on NBC News to the CHIPS Act discussions. These tiny chips are more important than ever, especially with the rise of #AI. So, as we celebrate World Emoji Day on July 17 (the date displayed on the calendar emoji!), let's give a shout-out to the unsung heroes of our digital world: semiconductors! These powerful chips are at the heart of everything from our smartphones and computers to cars, and now AI. They are the driving force of #innovation and connectivity, yet they remain unrecognized in the world of emojis. 🤔 Let's change that! There’s already buzz about creating a dedicated semiconductor emoji, and today is the perfect day to keep it going. The Unicode Consortium, the organization behind new emojis, typically releases new additions each year. This is our chance to advocate for our semiconductor industry emoji. 👉 Share your ideas: How would you use a semiconductor emoji? Comment below and let your creativity flow! 👉 Spread the word: Tag a friend who would use a semiconductor emoji!
