吉爾?貝克

年齡：39歲

公司：高科技薄膜公司Cambridge Nanotech Inc.

創(chuàng)辦時間：2003年

????從哈佛（Harvard）畢業(yè)并獲得化學(xué)博士學(xué)位后，貝克迷上了原子層沉積（Atomic Layer Deposition，ALD）工藝。采用這種工藝生產(chǎn)的超薄膜具有防反射、導(dǎo)電和阻擋紫外線等特性，可應(yīng)用于智能手機、太陽能電池和遮光產(chǎn)品。她自掏腰包（在家里）建起了Cambridge Nanotech公司，親手打造了具有成本效益的ALD系統(tǒng)用以普及這種產(chǎn)品。貝克的努力獲得了回報：她榮獲了安永（Ernst & Young）2010“年度企業(yè)家”稱號，2011年她的公司收入也超過了1,800萬美元。

Age: 39

Company: Cambridge Nanotech Inc.

Founded: 2003

????After graduating from Harvard with a Ph.D in Chemistry, Becker realized developed a love for Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD). The process creates an ultra-thin film with special properties like anti-reflection, electrical conductivity, and UV-blocking that can be used on items like smartphones, solar cells, and sunscreen products. With her own money, she bootstrapped Cambridge Nanotech (which she ran from home) and personally built cost-effective ALD systems to democratize the use of them. Becker's hard work has paid off: She's was named one of Ernst & Young's 2010 Entrepreneurs of the Year and her company's revenue hit upwards of $18 million in 2011.
