For:  Mr. Laurence Schultz
        CMP and Cleans Consultants

 To Whom It May Concern: 

My name is Mike Kirkpatrick and I am the vice president of worldwide sales for Strasbaugh, a manufacturer of CMP and polishing machines for the semiconductor and silicon industries. 

I would like to recommend Laurence Schultz and CMP & Cleans Consultants for their expertise in CMP, silicon polishing, and wafer cleaning.  I have known Laurence Schultz for over ten years.  During this time he has been involved in leading edge CMP research and development at several major US semiconductor companies. 

I have personally worked with Laurence when he was a process engineer at a major US semiconductor company where he contributed to pioneering CMP process development and was named in several patents.  More recently I have worked with Mr. Schultz and his associates on a consumable development project and can recommend them highly.  We also share an interest in, and association with, Clarkson University. 

Mr. Schultz and the talented group of associates he works with call upon years of combined experience to provide direction and guidance for a variety of polishing related enterprises.  I am confident in their abilities and can highly recommend their services. 

Sincerely,

Strasbaugh
