Marvell Semiconductors, Inc., San Jose, CA 1999 - 2016 Senior Physical Design Engineer

Accomplishments

I've done mostly the networking switch chips as well as SOC chips.

For full chip design, I was involving very early at development stage to provide several floorplans for the chip architect to review and select. I'm also partitioned some of the big chips and provided IPs so more chips can use the same IPs.

Completed several chips from floorplanning/ Place-n-route to tapeout (including LVS/DRC/ERC/ANT, Timing Closure, debugging / fixes), block-level / chip-level, Power analysis using Astro/ICC

Layout physical verification and cleanup using ICV & Calibre.

Multi-tasking on multiple tapeouts for different projects (350nm / 250nm / 180nm / 90nm / 65nm / 35nm / 28nm / 14nm) simultaneously.

In parallel trained many juniors on Place-n-route and layout designs

Completed fully custom design stdcell layout library set Intel Corp. (formerly Level One Communications), San Jose, CA 1996 - 1999 Senior Physical Mask Design Engineer

Custom Layout Design, from floorplanning to tapeout, including stdcell layout, using Cadence layout tool Auto P&R, from floorplanning to tapeout (including LVS/DRC fixes), block-level / chip-level, using Astro. Accomplishments

Completed Fully custom design stdcell cell layout library set, using Cadence Virtuoso.

Completed several chips doing Place-n-route from floorplanning to tape-out (including LVS/DRC debugging / fixes), block-level / chip-level using Astro.

In parallel to above main projects, completed multiple tape-outs (derivatives) for multiple projects (different technologies) simultaneously.

Multi-tasking on multiple tape-outs for different projects (350nm / 250nm) simultaneously.

In parallel trained many juniors on Place-n-route and layout designs EDUCATION

AA Degree in EE, Sacramento City College, Sacramento, CA
