• Process Engineer, Photo-Etch Group April 2014-present
• Manage and sustain all factory metrology, including ellipsometry, spectrometry, scatterometry, AFM, FTIR, four point probe, WDXRF, and SEM tools.
• Developed numerous optical trench measurement techniques for new products.
• Created novel measurements on product wafers for in-line metrology, leading to over $200,000 annual savings on test wafers and yield improvements.
• Sustained silicon, oxide, and metal plasma etch processes and wet aluminum etch processes.Process Engineer, Metals Group Aug 2011-April 2014
• Responsible for development and sustaining of all 8” wafer front metal processes, including Ti, TiN, TiW, Ni, and Al PVD and tungsten CVD. Knowledgeable of AMAT Endura and Centura platforms.

• Fabricated MOSFETs, MOS capacitors, pn junction diodes, and Schottky diodes
• Optimized photolithography to enhance overlay, wet and dry oxidation to improve growth uniformity, wet and dry etching, diffusion doping, and metal evaporation processes to improve quality of yield
• Performed physical and electrical characterization on PV and microelectronic devices to evaluate performance

• Repaired electrical circuits and inventoried 1000+ electronic components to organize the physics department stockroom
• Assembled and took apart both physics and electronics labs, and graded 100+ student assignments per week

• Incorporated rare-earth elements into InxCoSb3 thermoelectric materials to improve their efficiency by reducing the resistivity and thermal conductivity
• Characterized products using powder XRD to confirm crystal structure and vacuum resistivity measurements to evaluate the electrical conductivity

• Collaborated with students, facility personel, and Bonneville Environmental Foundation to offset 100% of the energy usage of Southern Oregon University with renewable energy
