WORK EXPERIENCE

Process and Technology Development Engineer Intel Corporation, Oregon

July 07-Now Process Engineer in the Defect Metrology Group with

the Yield Department primarily responsible for defect reduction during

various stages of chip manufacturing with a strong focus on root cause

identification of the source of defects. I have worked in multiple cross-

functional teams troubleshooting for process trends impacting product

quality, and led several groups including planar, litho, etch, and thin

films in defect reduction projects resulting in improved yields and cost

savings. I have expertise in statistical process control (SPC), design of

experiments (DOE), and analysis of large data sets including the use of

statistical software (like JMP). I have extensive experience in Si process

technology development, process integration, increasing product output,

infrastructure development, process scale up, and automation systems used

in semiconductor industry. Currently, I also supervise engineering

technicians and mentor floor technicians for their career development in

factory. I have supervised new engineers on effective data analysis and

experiment setup to in order to resolve key defect issues and coordinated a

successful process transfer from a development facility to a high volume

manufacturing facility.

Accomplishments:

> Recognized for my outstanding work contribution to P1266 challenges

and achieving the set goals.

> Awarded for contributions to P1266 EDI (defects) reduction and meeting

RISO goals.

> Appreciated and recognized by the Yield Staff for my sustaining

activities during P1268.

> Reduced defect levels, providing increased yields by ~ 4% thus

significantly decreasing production costs.

Graduate Student Research Assistant University of

Michigan, Sep 02-June 07

Conducted research for the GFR (Gas Fast Reactors) and GENIV reactor

materials qualification program with an aim to establish candidate metallic

materials for GFR and GENIV designs. As part of this research successfully

developed a thermo-mechanical treatment to modify the structure of F-M

(ferritic-martensitic) steels to engineer their mechanical properties.

Resultant steels exhibited improved creep behavior and reduced

susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking. Also, studied microstructural

evolution of steels in reactor environment by performing irradiation

experiments on F-M alloys using low energy protons. Expertise in working

on electro-mechanical assemblies, vacuum systems, LABVIEW programming,

microstructural characterization using microscopic imaging techniques like

SEM, OIM, TEM, and AFM, and mechanical testing of materials. I have deep

understanding of mechanical and physical behavior of alloys primarily

steels.

Graduate Student Instructor

University of Michigan, Sept. 05-Dec. 05

> Led discussion sessions and organized tutorials to clarify class

material.

Summer Intern Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, SWEDEN

May 01-July 01

> Developed a fundamental dislocation based model to study the evolution

of plastic deformation at small strains using Atomic Force Microscopy

(AFM) on stainless steel and copper.
