if you do this, i want to see pictures

I got pre-screened (from Monster.com) for a job relating to lithography
<mrdata>
Noxz, does that mean you will get an interview?
<Noxz>
mrdata# no, it means that they will pass my resume onto the hiring manager
<Noxz>
it's a programming position
<Noxz>
and I need food...
<Noxz>
bbl

huggles food

revising my resume (because monster is stupid? didnt I give it to them already?) for this place
<mrdata>
write a cover letter]
<mrdata>
they have your resume already
<Noxz>
hrrrmm
<Noxz>
I was like 5 seconds away from hitting sen don the reply with all the info
<Noxz>
they wanted a questionair filled out, plus my resume in a .doc
<Noxz>
I think monster just parsed my PDF one
<Noxz>
but yes, they would have kept the file.. I would think
<Noxz>
but yeah, I do think I should write a cover letter
<Noxz>
explain that I have become interested in MEMS
<Noxz>
etc
<Noxz>
that would be hillarious if I closed the cover letter with "so long, and thanks for all the fish"
<Noxz>
wait.. that's how the movie started...
<Noxz>
christ.. I'm still writing this thing?
<Noxz>
nearly done though
<SpeedEvil>
mrdata: basically - you have a sphere. This sphere has the bottom 10% ground off. The rest of the sphere has doping over its surface. You remove the doping from a ring around the base of the sphere, in order to isolate the base. You form a contact on the base, and it is contacted on the other surface by a grid of contacts, on a sheet of glass
<mrdata>
what size scale is this?
<SpeedEvil>
~1mm
<SpeedEvil>
Think sort-of BGA balls
<Noxz>
dang, my cover letter is exactly 1 page
<Noxz>
SpeedEvil# that's what I was thinking from your description
<SpeedEvil>
Forming the two contacts as an annular ring, and a dot on the base and using a two layer medium to glue them on would also be interesting
<SpeedEvil>
especially if you had leeeetle parabolic reflectors around each one
<SpeedEvil>
for concentrators
<Noxz>
( I have no idea the context, don't mind me)
<SpeedEvil>
Of course, the fun part is you need to do this for ~10^-4c/ball or so
<SpeedEvil>
For extra fun.
<SpeedEvil>
Make hollow silicon microspheres
<Noxz>
undercutting?
<Noxz>
and *SEND*
<Noxz>
alright.. let's wait for mid next-week for a response
<Noxz>
I am sure I would have access to SU-8 amongst other things if this job goes through
<Noxz>
1:15am, time for sleep

wishes he could get into his local fab.
<Noxz>
too many around me to count ;) ... silicon valley

no, your cells will not work at all

chris_99 has joined #homecmos
<SpeedEvil>
why
nmz787_i has joined #homecmos
<_Sync_>
because your lifetime will suck and you cannot contact your cells that way
<_Sync_>
think about it, the enemy in your cell is the lifetime and even in good commercial CZ Si SRH recombination is the worst offender
<_Sync_>
and you need a PN junction because otherwise it is impossible to actually contact it, look up ohmic and schottky contacts on Si
<_Sync_>
(protip: Al sucks on n-type)

hmm

My skills as a semiconductor designer are about as decent as my skills at brain surgery.
