Experience
11/99 - Present Design/ Verification Engineer for Motorola, MMD division - Austin, TX
Verification of Microcontolers. Work involved writing tests that exercised the
specified function of modules in the micorocontoler. Worked on many different
modules including system clock generators, port interfaces, interrupt modules,
and system integration modules. Worked with team members to solve problems
in chip specifications and designs.
08/97 - 06/99 Graduate Research Assistant, Microelectronics Research Center
The University of Texas at Austin
Researched ultra-thin dielectrics for MOS devices. Focused on the effects of
process conditions and environment on breakdown characteristics and transistor
performance. Used processing and device testing equipment. Supporting
Professor Dr. Jack Lee
06/96 - 08/97 Research Assistant, Microelectronics Research Center
The University of Texas at Austin
Qualification of equipment including: furnaces, lithographic tools, wet hoods,
and sputtering tools. Fabricated CMOS capacitors and studied their electrical
characteristics to determine quality of the equipment. Installed incoming
equipment (plasma etch, wet etch, and probe stations). Supporting Professor Dr.
Al Tasch
11/94 - 05/96 Field Service Engineer, Novellus Systems - Austin, TX
Supported customers with C1 dielectric and tungsten CVD equipment which
involved: system reliability, process reliability, and system installations.
06/91 - 06/94 Research Assistant, Microelectronics Research Center
08/94 - 11/94 The University of Texas at Austin
Maintained basic microelectronic equipment (PECVD, dry etch, wet etch,
furnaces, sputtering systems, and probe stations). Fabricated parts and specialty
tools. Tracked chemical consumption, parts usage, and supply. Maintained
backup of computers. Supporting Professor Dr. Al Tasch
Device Design - Knowledge of System on a Chip design. Have used several
Skills
different tools (signal scan, debussy, and synopsis design analyzer) to help solve
problems in chip designs. Have done verification using a combination of
Verilog, Assembly, and C++ programs. Most of the verification was direct
functional verification with additional Verilog drivers and monitors.
Device Processing - Developed 0.5 um transistor process for testing ultra-thin
oxynitrides (designed the mask set and process flow). Used TSuprem4 and
Medici software to facilitate development. Produced and tested transistors.
Studied transistor characteristics (gm, ueff, and hot electron effects).
Process Equipment - Strong knowledge of Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor
deposition. Experience using and maintaining plasma etchers, furnaces,
sputtering systems and wet etch stations.
Vacuum Systems - Experience with vacuum systems, including turbo
molecular, roots blowers, rotary vane, and diffusion pumps. Experience with gas
delivery system and manifold design.
Computer - Programming languages: Verilog, Assembly, C ++, Java, Pascal,
HPBasic, and FORTRAN.
