QUALIFICATIONS SUMMARY

Detail oriented, highly analytical engineering professional with 10+ years’ experience

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

INFINEON TECHNOLOGIES/QIMONDA NA, Sandston, VA 3/2004-2/2009

Films Process Engineer

• Process engineering responsibilities for 200mm WCVD processes utilizing AMAT Centura platform

• Set up and maintained tool qualification procedures to monitor tool process performance and created OCAPs

to address qualification failures

• Brought to production the first Novellus Altus WCVD process tool on site for 300mm wafer processing

• Created process verification procedures and carried out data collection methods to determine if tool process

functionality is capable of meeting product specs before releasing tool for production

• Kept startup schedule on target to make sure tool is released and ready for first Si

• Process engineering responsibilities for 300mm PE Silane Oxide deposition utilizing AMAT Producer and

AMAT Producer GT platforms

• Process engineering responsibilities for 300mm STI HDP deposition utilizing Novellus Speed platform

• Acted as Films area SPC representative on the site SPC Core Team

• Reviewed and monitored daily area SPC indicators for all measured production data. Tracked DI index (d1,

d2 and d3), Cpk. Reported out weekly to area on SPC performance of all production charts, worked with

respective PE if charts were not meeting SPC expections

• Worked with IT department to create and put into production a R2R system on the Silane Oxide processes

with the AMAT Producer platforms. Process adjustments were made automatically based on production data

with tool, chamber, product data

INFINEON TECHNOLOGIES, Sandston, VA 10/2000-3/2004

Films Sustaining Engineer

• Responsible for sustaining 200mm factory for Films process related issues for PVD and dielectric processes

• Reviewing data from SPC charts to determine process trends and troubleshooting film performance with

process and equipment engineers

• Responding to OOC events on process qualification and inline product measurements Making process

adjustments to keep controlled properties on target

• Involved with new tool start ups to determine the film characteristics and process window experiments,

determined process stability

• Successfully headed high deposition rate BSG project to improve tool through put and reduce cost by

decreasing dopant concentration levels

• Developed and helped develop out of control action plans for qual and product parameters, also have

developed process interrupt recovery procedures to minimize recovery scrap risk and yield loss due to

interrupt

• Represented Films in a WD8 team to have a method for all area sustainers to effectively communicate and

contain issues which may effect processes in other areas. Participated in developing online training for

planned and unplanned SWRs procedures and SEPT II training.

BARBOR PLASTICS, INC., Roanoke, VA 2/1998-10/2000

Project Engineer

• Involved in new product implementation process for cellular PVC extrusions from profile design, tooling

input, to manufacturing and packaging

• Researched, developed, and set into production a coating application process to allow paint adhesion of

cellular PVC substrate resulting in the company to expand into new markets and add value to products

• Worked closely with R&D to modify compound formulation and down stream cooling resulting in proper

material flow and cell structure resulting in a high impact, low specific gravity, and increased (>100%) output

of extrusion profile

• Involved with implementation of new detailed cost analysis, part numbering system, and bill of materials for

finished goods

• Worked to determine mass properties and performance specifications via designing and performing testing

procedures

MW MANUFACTURERS, Rocky Mount, VA 2/1997- 2/1998

Product Engineer

• Proposed, designed, and tested components for window and door systems

• Experience communicating with venders for product changes to meet strict design and quality requirements

• Responsible for major redesign, testing, and production implementation of door cladding system ($200K

project)

• Designed testing and recording procedures for material testing to determine impact failure loads, shear force

carrying capabilities, and mode of failure

• Extensive working experience with adhesion analysis for determining bond characteristics and performance

• Worked closely with QA department to make design changes to improve product performance and reduce

production time
