EMPLOYMENT

Sr. Process Engineer, Confidential, 2003-2009
Sr. Module and Integration/Yield Engineer, Confidential, 2009-current
Working as an etch engineer in the Portland Technology Development group. PTD is responsible for bringing Intel’s industry-leading microprocessor manufacturing process from early path-finding through high volume. Developed etch processes for 65nm CMOS, 45nm and 32nm high-k metal gate, 22nm finFET and 14nm nodes. Processors built on these processes include Intel Core, Core 2, Core i7 and IvyBridge.

Owned etch modules on a development manufacturing line, modifying processes as necessary to optimize the yield and performance. On-call coverage 24/7. Zero safety incidents, while exceeding operational and defect goals.
Designed, executed and analyzed module experiments to meet process specifications.
Worked collaboratively with equipment manufacturers and factory automation engineers to identify shortcomings. Proposed and evaluated modifications to mitigate issues.
Operated in-situ ramps to manufacturing volumes to demonstrate the technology met requirements.
Transferred technology to high volume manufacturing: Trained 20 new factory engineers and their technicians, providing daily supervision during their six-month training periods in Oregon.
Audited new factory installations and supervised the first full loop lot at new production sites. Transfer sites included Israel, Ireland, Oregon, New Mexico and Arizona.
Exceptional process developement allowed etch equipment to be used four years longer than for other etch layers, resulting in over $40 million in savings.
Quarterly Divisional Award, 2008. For rapidly developing and integrating a new dry etch poly opening process for Intel’s gate-last high-k 32nm process. Gate height control was improved
ten-fold versus a polish process, Transistor gate height wafer-to-wafer variation was less than 4 Angstroms.
Excursion Protection committee: Selected and implemented a new system for all Intel factories. Real- time statistical analysis of tool parameters enabled control limits to abort and prevent excursions.
Tool installations- worked with equipment manufacturers to create installation design packages.
Worked with trades to install all electrical/plumbing/structural subsystems and met tight ramp schedules for tool installations and for re-qualifications on new etch processes.
