Steve Allen

Principal Process and Development Engineer. Strong R&D participation in HVDC Thyristor and Diode design, Presspack design and manufacture. Often thinking of solutions outside of the box. Lead device failure analysis engineer with a keen eye, and the ability to see what others miss. Without accurate in depth failure analysis you can not expect to find the root cause and increase yield. Proven track record of increasing test and process yield on high voltage diodes and thyristors upto and above 8.5kV. Expertise in high voltage passivation, wet etch, bevel design, failure analysis and device assemblies. With working on both the production line and in R&D my unique mechanical skills and my ability to put my hands to anything, help to develop innovative practical solutions that can easily be integrated into full scale production. A keen advocate for health and safety in the workplace.
