ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE

Process Engineer Intern May 08 - Aug

08

Maxim Integrated Products, San Antonio, TX

. Worked on statistical analysis of the repeatability and

reproducibility of metrology tools including scanning electron

microscope (SEM), profiler, layer alignment metrology, UV thin

film measurement tool, and four point probes.

. Wrote programs to help automate the SEM measurement process to

improve the standard deviation of measurements from that tool.

Also retrained many of the operators on job (program) creation

and beam alignment as well as measurement process.

. Supervised by Anthony Hoffner (***************@*******.***)

Research Assistant Jan 07 - May 08

University of Texas at San Antonio

. Did research on electrokinetic and reciprocating displacement

micropumps and capillary electrophoresis toward the application

of unmanned chemical sensors. Processed many capillary

electrophoresis chips using PDMS.
