Work Experience

Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation Jul. 2009 - Apr. 2013 Silicon Carbide Process Technology Development R&D Engineer

The project team focused on the R&D of the growth and processing of silicon carbide substrate. I was mainly responsible for the development of Polishing /CMP process.

Successfully developed low surface roughness CMP Technology. The average roughness (Ra) of the SiC wafer was enhanced from 1nm to below 0.3nm (the best one achieved 0.073nm).

Successfully developed the small-scale production process. The wafer processing efficiency was enhanced from less than 10pcs/day to 144pcs/day (2 84pcs/day (3

Successfully developed CMP process with differentiations. Optimize process parameter individually for Silicon face and Carbon face for best quality and lowest cost.

Successfully developed the process monitoring technique. This achievement realized the comprehensive monitoring approach by using bright lights, differential interference microscopy (DIC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and other detection tools jointly.

Prepared process manual for all developed processes. Provided trainings to the other team members to make sure they could capture the essential skills and implement the process independently.

Corporate Training

Statistical Process Control (SPC) training. Knowing DOE method and problem shooting method based on statistics.
