I think that they should have had more opportunities for us. I appreciate what they have done for us but nothing is set in stone. I am trying to stick it out to the end and maybe transfer to the new location.

Our biggest challenges are trying to find a chemistry that's compatible with the low-k dielectrics. They're so much more sensitive than traditional low-k or TEOS-type substrates that we've been working with. It's become a real challenge to find something that's compatible with that, while also still being able to clean the resists off the wafer.

If we stay until closing, we will benefit from the severance package. I wish the company would let us know when they are closing.
