Leading development projects for new sensors for consumer electronics.

Lauchheim, Germany

Project management for the development and implementation of metrology machine components and test set ups as a technical consultant in the metrology department at Carl Zeiss SMT in Oberkochen. • Project planning including resources and budgeting.• Development and production management of the reticle alignment and the beam steering sensor system for the internationally distributed reticle inspection system AIMS EUV. • Requirements management, specification, design and implementation of test setups for illumination optics and precision stages of production equipment as well as for qualification and alignment equipment for the serial fabrication processes. • Technical leadership of development and implementation teams. • Supplier Management (technically).

Tuebingen, Germany

I conducted a development project for a VAL-MC (variable axis lens microcolumn, miniaturized electron microscope). • Design of a MC and a VAL-MC using commercial electron optics simulation software and a self-made optimization routine.• Fabrication of the designs with international partners.• Development of control electronics and software. • Creation of a new beam size measuring method. • Construction of a test setup including a piezo-driven sub-mrad tilt stage.• Performance measurements of the designs.• Development of novel CNT based electron emitter.• Mentoring of students involved in the project.• Budget responsibility.Methods applied: optics design, finite element simulations, C++ programming, 2-D and 3-D CA-Design, electron microscopy, EDX, Nano- and MEMS-fabrication, lithography (optical and electron beam), deposition, doping, etching (dry and wet), PE-CVD, bonding.
