Chandler, Az, Us

• Managed and improved device yield by applying background knowledge of device physics, electrical engineering, and the semiconductor process to better product quality and reduce company cost • Performed root cause analysis (RCA) on recurring yield impactors by examining parametric and process data, performing additional testing, and using data analysis software• Collaborated with stakeholders globally across levels, factories, and departments to drive consistent progress on yield issue investigations and seamless solution implementations to increase overall technology yield by 10%• Led yield improvement projects and highlighted yield trends in formal weekly meetings, while also establishing action items, setting timelines, and assigning task ownership

Santa Clara, California, Us

• Owned 14 chambers across 2 different plasma-etching toolset platforms that were essential to manufacturing the 10 nm. node computer processing technology during fast-paced startup and ramp conditions• Executed the qualification of 13 high-priority chambers under tight deadlines and consistent process and procedural change, increasing toolset capacity to support production ramp and customer needs• Headed a significant defect reduction task force by driving root cause analysis (RCA), heading daily meetings, and presenting progress updates to factory management, resulting in reducing defect-driven yield loss by 90%• Engaged with stakeholders across factories and departments weekly to ensure proper implementation of new processes and open communication about new findings for semiconductor process improvement

Oak Ridge, Tn, Us

• Studied and experimented with differing synthesis and processing methods for anti-perovskite materials for potential use in solid-state lithium-ion batteries as a more affordable, energy efficient alternative to current commercial batteries• Evaluated results through data analysis software and characterization techniques including XRD analysis, FTIR Spectroscopy, and Impedance measurements• Summarized and presented monthly progress reports both internally to the lab group and externally to the research-sponsoring company
