Stefan Schneider announced as General Manager of Park Systems Accurion Division
"With his extensive experience in R&D and product development, Stefan is the perfect candidate to lead Accurion into a new era of success."
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and nano-metrology solutions provider Park Systems has appointed a new General Manager for its Accurion Division. Stefan Schneider, who has been with the division for over 11 years, will bring expertise in product development and R&D to the role.
Key information:
- Stefan Schneider becomes the General Manager of Park Systems Accurion Division.
- He has been promoted after over 11 years with the division, having worked on the Brewster Angle Microscope "UltraBAM" and Imaging Ellipsometer "EP4."
- Accurion, which recently merged with Park Systems, specialises in imaging spectroscopic ellipsometry (ISE) and active vibration isolation (AVI) systems.
During his time with Accurion, Schneider worked on the Brewster Angle Microscope “UltraBAM” and the Imaging Ellipsometer “EP4.” Additionally, he also contributed to enhancing imaging optics and expanding the EP4’s capabilities, as well as helping lead the development of the prototype and in-line ISE systems for memory and display inspection, respectively.
"I'm honoured to lead Accurion within Park Systems,” said Schneider. “My vision is to establish imaging ellipsometry as a crucial tool in semiconductor applications and solidify our position as a dominant provider of active vibration isolation systems. By maximising synergy, we'll focus on innovation, new product development, customer support, and driving Accurion's growth. Together, we'll achieve new heights in the industry.”
Accurion and Park Systems recently merged, with the former providing expertise in imaging spectroscopic ellipsometry (ISE) and active vibration isolation (AVI) systems. Accurion’s ISE technology offers sensitivity for characterising layer thickness and refractive index on microstructures. While its AVI systems provide vibration isolation performance for high-resolution measurement equipment. Both parties are hoping to combine expertise to create hybrid solutions, with Accurion’s AVI systems allowing Park Systems to meet the demand for vibration isolation, and overall expanding its customer base.
"We are excited to announce Stefan Schneider as the new General Manager of Accurion, Park Systems. With his extensive experience in R&D and product development, Stefan is the perfect candidate to lead Accurion into a new era of success. His strong leadership and industry expertise will drive the integration of Accurion's products with Park Systems' offerings, enhancing our capabilities in the semiconductor market,” said Dr Sang-il Park, CEO of Park Systems Corporation. “We look forward to working closely with Stefan and the Accurion team to deliver innovative solutions to our customers worldwide.”
