The Principals
 
Dan Trojan

Prior to founding Axus Technology, Mr. Trojan was an engineering manager and key technical contributor at several industry leading companies. Among these were SpeedFAM-IPEC, Obsidian, and Strasbaugh. During the last two decades, Mr. Trojan has developed many novel and enabling technologies related to the grinding and polishing of a wide variety of materials.

Mr. Trojan has developed or co-developed a number of new systems. Among these are first generation CMP tools as well as several currently marketed high volume production tools, which overall constitute a current installed base of more than 300 systems in use worldwide. In addition to CMP polish technology, he led the engineering effort in creating post-CMP cleaning technologies that included in-situ application of hydrofluoric acid and other chemistries. Mr. Trojan has also developed specialized process tools, such as a system for manufacturing ceramic-substrate based thermal conduction modules for supercomputers, and, the first automated controlled curve generator for precision optics manufacture.

Mr. Trojan has several issued and pending patents related to high technology materials processing equipment designs and processes. He holds a BSEE degree from California State University Long Beach.

As a product manager at Tencor Instruments (now KLA-Tencor) Mr. VanDevender pioneered the creation of the first fully integrated in-line metrology system for use with CMP systems. He has subsequently held marketing management positions at SpeedFAM-IPEC where he was responsible for CMP, cleaning products, and metrology technology.
