Complete semiconductor process from blank wafer to bonded, packaged, and tested photonic integrated circuits.

I make some fancy fancy MEMS VCSEL tunable lasers using several dozens of nanofabrication techniques while utilizing my Excel magic. I present my findings, hypotheses, and theories to my peers and we bask in the intellectual gains. No one has slept through any one of my Power Point presentations!-Process development and testing for the 1050 MEMS eVCSEL on III-V materials.-Design, ran, and documented several experiments.-Process optimization-Training of other staff and technicians on site and within the UCSB nanofab.-Experienced with photolithography, thin film depositions, and wet & dry etching.-Purchased, installed, and qualified new tools and hardware in cleanroom facility.

- Organized and maintained production.- Implemented continuous process and quality improvements.- Maintained process control (SPC).- Troubleshoot operational problems utilizing systematic methodology.- In a team, corrected unsafe working conditions and removed potential hazards

- Produced polymer mixtures used to create RO, Nano, and micro filtration systems.- Established process control over casting stages of production.- Troubleshoot production and reliability problems.- Improved repeatability/consistency of chemical production.- Responsible for quality improvement projects..- Trained operations and established Good Manufacturing Practice.

- Operated the Thomas Swan MOCVD to produce GaN on SiC and Si.- Characterized while troubleshooting issues that stray production from SPC and made growth adjustments as needed based on data from previous runs.- Responsible for document control and QC of incoming material.- Trained newly recruited personnel.- Developed the cleaning process for parts.- Familiar with sheet resistance, Hall, stress, defect counting, SIMS analysis, and thickness measurements on wafers.
