About
us
Greetings,
I would like to personally
welcome you to the MILLC web-site. MILLC provides remanufacturing services
supporting the semiconductor industry, specializing in Novellus equipment. As
the owner, I have worked in the semiconductor industry since 1984, with over 12
years experience at Novellus.
By specializing in precision
mechanical assemblies, our goal is to provide a level of quality not attainable
in most refurbishment shops. We provide an expert level of assembly knowledge
and meticulous attention to detail, as well as being able to cope with repairs
and parts obsolescence.
Engineered replacement components
As a long time Product
Support engineer and manager, I understand the hours of research and testing
involved in engineering a product, including debugging and resolving long term
reliability issues, (sometimes painfully in the field). When done effectively,
this leads to superior performance. It has also taught me that changing a field
proven component, although well meaning can invoke the “law of unintended
consequences”.
It’s all about the details
Anytime it is necessary to
qualify a new part, it requires more than just matching specifications, that’s only
part of the job. More important is the testing that follows. This means
devising a comprehensive test strategy and running the part or assembly for
extended periods of time. Typically this involves installing the unit in a
process tool, or simulating the process tool with a test fixture. A test
fixture is usually preferable as it allows the test cycle to complete without
interruption, while simulating the process tool environment as accurately as
possible.
At MILLC we employ tenacious
attention to detail, and an old fashioned work ethic. This means no compromises
quality and customer satisfaction.
Please contact us with any
questions about our products or services, I look
forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Brent Munhofen
