No Small Matter
Lisa Bonilla
August 2005
A company founded on USF technology that specializes in processes that can create patterns 20 times smaller than a human hair is doing really big things!
It appears that less really can be more, even in the world of business.
While the main focus of the Intelligent Micro Patterning LLC's work is to reproduce images and materials in the smallest formats imaginable, the same can not be said for the overall business plan and vision of the company and its founders. The company was created in 2001 by Chief Technical Officer and University of South Florida College of Marine Science Researcher David Fries and Dr. Jay Sasserath, who serves as CEO of the company. Fries' work with direct optical projection for exposing images on silicon wafers and other electronic devices has resulted in several successful products and a start-up company that is going large.
Intelligent Micro Patterning (referred to as IMP) has experienced a huge growth trend in the last year and a half, with many significant sales since the beginning of this year alone, as well as the introduction of an exciting new product being added to the already impressive array offered by the company.
The SF-100 Exposure System, the flagship product sold by the company, offers the user a highly reliable means for rapid prototyping of microdevices. Read entire article
