Ereztech Announces David Roberts as its Chief Technology Officer

Ereztech, a company specializing in the research, development, and manufacture of complex metalorganic and inorganic compounds for advanced materials applications, announces David A Roberts, as its Chief Technology Officer. His responsibilities will include continuing the development of Ereztech’s current organometallic chemical offering and supporting innovative new applications for the company’s portfolio of over 800 organometallics, and inorganic compounds.

With over 35 years of experience, Dr. Roberts has secured 47 patents as well as research publications in various aspects of design, synthesis and manufacture of thin film precursors for semiconductor and other high-end applications. An organometallic chemist by training, he has also contributed in bench and technology management roles at the former Schumacher unit of Air Products,which resulted in several new products including low-temperature dielectrics, e.g., BTBAS and metallization precursors for semiconductor

With our Russia-based network of over 50 organometallic research chemists, we have the R&D and manufacturing ability to solve very challenging applications of metal-organic frameworks.

backend applications. He plays subsequent roles of Director of Materials in Air Products Electronics group and Corporate Science Center encompassing a broader spectrum of materials related to photoresist ancillaries and battery materials. In 2009, he Joined Nantero Inc., an advanced memory startup based upon carbon nanotubes, with focus on dispersion based thin films.

Commenting on David’s appointment, Roman Rytov, CEO, Ereztech says, “We are very fortunate to have David Roberts to join our team”. “With our Russia-based network of over 50 organometallic research chemists, we have the R&D and manufacturing ability to solve very challenging applications of metal-organic frameworks.That includes our traditional 'core' customers needing complex organometallic precursors for advanced semiconductors. Dave's extensive chemical knowledge and innovative talents will support our focus on the widening opportunities for organometallics in advanced materials,”he adds.
