Product Line Marketing and Owner for IBD300, a new Veeco Ion Beam Deposition product for 300mm wafer applications in memory and logic. Applications for IBD300 include directional and topographic deposition and ultra-low resistivity metal films for next-generation wiring and interconnects and high-performance dielectrics.Manage a team of scientists and engineers focused on developing new applications and markets for Veeco Ion Beam Deposition.Own and lead product marketing and product development for Veeco 300mm Ion Beam Deposition Products for SEMI markets.

Long Island, New York

- Our focus is on Ion Beam Etch and Ion Beam Deposition for 300mm wafer, and EUV mask products.- Our scope spans fundamental process and applications development and capital equipment engineering- We are responsible for developing new materials and thin film process IP and demo-ing novel process and tool capabilities to SEMI customers.- We provide scientific and technical support for Veeco Ion Beam Equipment including CIPs, hardware upgrades and novel developments- We are closely involved in multi-disciplinary collaborations with Veeco marketing, engineering and sales teams and our customers.- We engage in translating and communicating the new application and process developments both internally at Veeco and externally with SEMI customers.Ion Beam Deposition and Ion Beam Etch are highly differentiated and powerful thin film techniques for the next generation SEMI nodes as they are capable of creating the structures and devices with the demanding properties required. In my role, I work on building, mentoring and leading a team of world-class engineers and scientists. In addition to management responsibilities, I also contribute through technical leadership in thin films processing, solid state physics, materials characterization and ion-beam technology. Key Projects - IBD-LDD: Veeco flagship Ion Beam Deposition product and tool of record for EUV mask blank production. - Summit: Veeco 300mm Ion Beam Etch source and platform for novel memory structures - IBD300: New Veeco Ion Beam Deposition product for 300mm wafer applications in memory and logic. Applications for IBD300 include directional and topographic deposition and ultra-low resistivity metal films for next-generation wiring and interconnects and high-performance dielectrics. - A key achievement includes our development of novel processes for depositing ultra-low resistivity W, Ru, Mo and other metals for wiring. - Patents and IP created for products in high-value markets.
