Looking at new applications for etchImproving existing etch applications Managing etch products

During this period of time I worked with a great group of people on several projects: MEMS: Mostly with the 200mm DPS DT (Now being sold by the AGS division of AMAT)HART: both 200mm and 300mm (the Program died after a good run, but may come back to life)TSV: Just now getting off the ground. This is still an open area where there is not really one way of addressing this new technology.

Worked in the manufacturing environment to improve product yield and equipment up-time.Provided site support and management specifically related to installation, operation, calibration, service and testing of new hardware, process and software designs. Traveled to factories around the world as a system troubleshooter; determined the best solution to resolve production issuesManaged financial aspects of capital equipment warranty costs and retrofit budgets of millions of dollars.Acted as an intermediary agent between customers and Applied Materials for field escalations and as a crisis manager. Introduced new products and solutions to key customers. Worked with a wide range of etch process and systems including silicon, polysilicon, oxide, metal etch, MEMS etch and deep silicon etch. Worked closely with design engineers on new product development and managed various product improvement initiatives.
