Stuff i work on.



All of these products are made by Muratech.
The first picture is a Stocker, the second picture is a LEM and the third picture is an OHT. we have to keep these systems up and running to keep the products going to the FAB tools. Time is money!! If our systems go down, we hold up production and when that happens, people get UPSET!! Well, I started overtime at lunch today and I will be on it all day tomorrow as well. I go on shift next week. I am excited about it as I will have days off during the week and also on the weekend. I really enjoy my job as I am learning lots of new stuff!

Shift Work

Well, I start shift work next week. They are placing me on Nights 1 and I will be training with a very good tech. I am going to like the shift work here as I will work Monday on days, then have Tuesday off and go to work on Wednesday night and Thursday night and have Friday thru Sunday off. Not a bad week.

I really enjoy my job so far and I will keep people up to date as things happen.

Clean Rooms, FABS, and ME...


Well, I have worked 3 days at Qimonda. When I first walked into the FAB, I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!! I did not know what really to expect, but it was amazing. All of the chip making tools like Applied Materials, ASML, DNSE, just to name a few. The robots are all Murata as well as the LEM and OHT. The OHT takes wafers to the tools and the LEM only moves wafers from storage to storage. . IT is about 250,000 sq/ft of space. Very large. It is a 300mm chip wafer that comes out in inches, that is 12 inches; they also have a 200mm FAB that is 8 inches. It is said, that there are planes to build a 450mm FAB at that site, time will tell. I am getting to work on robots ad keep them running. I am learning their systems and procedures. I have to dress fully in a clean room suit. From head to toe. It is a class 10 facility and we can have no hair or skin showing. I have a picture of me in my suit that I am posting on the Blog as well. I am working only days now, but will go to shift work around the end of October. Or that is the plane at the moment. Well, more later.

Qimonda Semiconductors

I start to work next week with Qimonda as a tech. We will be working shift work with the schedule of 3 on, 4 off-4 on, 3 off. Not a bad deal as ever 2 weeks, you get 4 days off. The machinery i will be will be Muratech. I found this job through ColonialWebb contractors who have the maintenance contract for the next 4 years. I am going to learn so much from this company and I am very excited to have the opportunity to embark on this new career. I thought about trying to get in the industry way back in 1994 for Motorola when I lived in Arizona. It did not work out, but with luck and prayers, this will work out very well for me.

I will keep everyone in the loop as things unfold...

Partners...

How do we know that we person that we are with is the correct person? Is it a feeling? I have been with my wife for 6+ years. I know that I am not the easiest person to live with and that we have had some hard times, but through it all, she has been at my side. Are we put with someone by God? or is is purely by chance? I have known Sondra for nearly 20 years. We both went to Jasper High School but we did not hang out or associate with eachother. IT wasn't until about the year 2000 that we ran into eachother back in Jasper that we started talking. Was it fate that we "found" eachother at that time in our lives?

I think that it has so far been a great saga, one of rebirth and healing, that is still unfolding as we speak. We have been all over the counrty together and through it all, raising a beautiful daughter/stepdaughter together. We have had some adventures and some sorrowful times as well, the loss of her Dad and the loss of my Stepfather. But, through it all, we have made it! I am at present, embarking on the most important job interview with Qimonda Semiconductors this morning, It is my make/break interview for this position. Wish me luck!!

I know that divorce happens in this life, that couples grow apart, but I do not want this to happen and I will try my best to make it not. I love her and my daughter with all my heart, but is love always enough? Compatibility is a major factor within any marriage or perhaps incompatibility is a major factor in divorce...

I a person is able to know love, even for a little while, it is a good thing. Like a live from a DR. Strange when his lover leaves and goes back to her world, "It is better to have loved and lost than to not have loved at all"

Have a good day and God Bless!!

Interview Today with Qimonda Semiconductors...

I had one of my most hard interviews that I have ever had today. There were a total of 4 people in the room. @were on conference call and 2 were live in the room. They asked me lots of questions about Electrical and Electronics. I answered them to my fullest knowledge. Some answers were hard to remember because my electronically training was over 10 years ago!!  I remember lots though, I am very optimistic about the interview. I will let everyone know.
