With decades of experience managing and advising emerging technology companies, including three years on Microfabrica's board of directors, Dr. Lam will continue to guide the company as it moves into production and expands its global presence.

Adam Cohen, Microfabrica's founder and former chairman, and the inventor of the company's EFAB(r) technology, will continue to serve as chief technology officer and executive vice president of technology.

"Over the last three years, Dr. Lam's wealth of experience has already proven to be invaluable in shaping our strategic direction. We are now looking forward to benefiting even more from his wisdom and guidance in his new role as chairman," said Vacit Arat, president and CEO of Microfabrica.

Dr. Lam is chairman of David Lam Group and a venture partner of Torrance, CA-based DynaFund Ventures. He is particularly well known for founding Lam Research, which went public in 1984 and has since become a global leader in semiconductor capital equipment. He later established the David Lam Group, an investment and business advisory firm for high-tech start-ups. As a 'mentor capitalist', Dr. Lam blends a unique style of hands-on coaching with extensive management experience to guide high-tech entrepreneurs.

"I have been a big believer in Microfabrica from its early days. The EFAB process is truly a breakthrough manufacturing technology that enables solutions not feasible with any other technology for a wide range of applications," said Dr. David Lam, Microfabrica chairman. "I'm pleased to take on an expanded role as the company moves to delivering leading products in key applications."

Dr. Lam graduated from the University of Toronto in engineering physics, and holds masters and doctoral degrees in chemical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is a senior fellow of the American Leadership Forum and a member of the Board of Governors of the National Conference for Community and Justice (NCCJ) of Silicon Valley.
