• Trained to various processes involved with the back-end development of semiconductors, including but not limited to, Surface-Mount Technology (SMT) Assembly, Die Attach, Die Shear, and Wire Bond.• Constructed explicit standard operating procedures and work instructions to assist in the use of high-traffic tools and high-volume job operations.• Performed initial qualification of ISO5 and ISO7 cleanroom environments and provided continued assistance in their setup and maintenance.• Assisted in the break-down, move, and re-qualification of process tools from site to site.

Gainesville, Florida Area

• Refined the process of creating lanthanum nickel oxide films atop bulk silicon, BTO, and BST to optimize a 100-crystal orientation for communication and signal applications. Synthesized ferromagnetic iron-doped BTO for memristor applications.• Aided in the design, fabrication, and installation of resistive pressure sensors in select RTS buses for tracking and collecting data on regional bike rack usage.• Received access to the IMG lithography lab, microfabrication lab, electrical test lab, and processing lab. • Analyzed completed samples for desired characteristics through X-Ray Diffraction and SEM.

Gainesville, Florida Area

• Trained and summarily worked at the University of Florida’s Nanoscale Research Facility (NRF), complete with Class 100-1000 cleanroom facility for nanofabrication and bio processing.• Performed Si wafer dicing, cleaning, and preparation for photolithography by mask-to-wafer contact printing using the Karl Suss MA-6 Contact Aligner. Performed similar wafer preparation for sputter coating by KJL Multi-Source RF and DC Sputter system.• Gained further access to research techniques and laboratories for processing, characterizing, and testing of materials, devices and sensors. Such techniques include: dry and wet etch, thermal evaporation, lift off, profilometry, ellipsometry, hall measurement, four-point probe, and more.
