Innovation Director
Chris Burns MSc.
From Austin, Texas
Born June 14, 1979

Starting in 2005 as a regional process engineer for a globally active semiconductor machine manufacturer Semitool Inc., I learned to optimize and create chemical and mechanical processes to fulfill customer desires in wafer surface preparation, etching and deposition with wet chemsitry. During this time, I was first introduced to porous silicon and the many different applications where it can be incorporated.

In 2008, I began as a research and development engineer for TT electronics, developing new materials and processes for electronic packaging. Sintering, soldering, and wire bonding processes can be greatly improved by improving the materials themselves.

In 2014, the Porous Silicon company has was born. From starting out offering contract and consulting to create and optimize electrochemical processes, materials, electronic modules and sensors, to presently providing materials as well as equipment to speed up research and product development.
