Product Engineer Introduced and qualified products into manufacturing. Drove yield improvement and cost reduction activities.• Transitioned products from design to manufacturing. Analyzed IV data to look for process sensitivities, and test data for process margin.• Improved yield and costs on older products. Interfaced with manufacturing to introduce improved wafer or package processes and new materials. Coordinated qualifications.• Became familiar with the HP 83k test sets. Used test set analytical tools, and made program changes to reduce test time, increase margin, and improve yield. • Increased wafer and package yields 10% to 30% working with test engineers on chronic problem products.• Maintained customer satisfaction by monitoring product yield and IV data, and investigating product and process issues. Analyzed sensitivities to IV data, yield patterns, and equipment sensitivities. Process Technologist Integration, optimization and maintenance of technologies in a semiconductor manufacturing facility. • Reduced process cycle times and improved process margin and yields by identifying and removing unnecessary process steps, optimizing process flow, working with Process Engineers to implement new equipment, and applications.• Transferred 0.5, 0.5 bicmos, 0.35 and 0.30 cmos technologies from another manufacturing site.• Qualified and transferred into manufacture 0.9 cmos from development.• Took the lead in line down situations to coordinate analysis and corrective action activities. • Minimized or averted potentially large customer problems with a hands on approach to daily manufacturing issues. Was able to differentiate between isolated events, and major manufacturing problems.• Designed experiments and analyzed results on zone and whole process testers to determine problem areas and to prove in process changes. • Maintained quality by monitoring IV and in-line process data. Made adjustments to keep parameters centered.
