Hard Skills
IntermediateChemical Etching OperationsThe process of using acidic or corrosive solutions to precisely remove material from quartz crystal surfaces to achieve specific resonant frequencies.
IntermediateElectrolytic and Electroless PlatingApplying thin metallic coatings, such as gold or silver, onto quartz surfaces to create electrodes using chemical or electrical baths.
IntermediatePrecision Measurement Tool UsageOperating micrometers, calipers, and frequency counters to verify that crystals meet strict dimensional and performance tolerances.
AdvancedHazardous Material HandlingThe safe management, storage, and disposal of toxic chemicals and acids used in the etching and plating processes.
IntermediateTechnical Schematic InterpretationReading and following complex engineering drawings, blueprints, and process sheets to determine exact manufacturing requirements.
IntermediateMicroscopic InspectionUsing high-powered microscopes to identify surface defects, fractures, or contamination on delicate quartz wafers.
