Les Deck, a Physics PhD from Rutgers, came to ZYGO nineteen years ago as a founding member of the Corporate R&D Group and is currently Senior Physicist. His thirty-one patents and forty technical papers reflect significant contributions to every ZYGO metrology product line; including the NewView™ interference microscope, the ZMI™ 510 stage metrology system, the VeriFire™ MST interferometer, and vibration compensation software.

Frank Demarest has thirty-one years of experience at ZYGO, including the interference microscopes and laser Fizeau optical testing systems. For the past two decades, Frank has been a central figure in advancements of lithographic stage metrology as principal designer for the ZMI™ measurement boards, implementing new technologies such as cyclic error compensation and FFT processing and the delay-line interpolator and data age compensation.

These two long-time ZYGO scientists exemplify the demanding selection criteria for ZYGO's Technology Fellowship program.

Zygo Corporation is a worldwide supplier of optical metrology instruments, precision optics, and electro-optical design and manufacturing services, serving customers in the semiconductor capital equipment and industrial markets.
