NXP Semiconductors
Senior Process Development Engineer
Selected to plan, manage and provide leadership for 16,000 unit Reticle program that directly impacts the quality of $230 million annual sales of semiconductors. Provide interface with suppliers to improve all performance metrics. Lead Quality Assurance of all Deep UV and sub-micron Reticles. Develop asset control system to improve availability and reduce cycle time. Develop Reticle Qualification protocol to reduce business risk. Provide leadership with responsibility of launching site wide Lean Six Sigma Program. Accomplishments
● Lean Six Sigma Projects. Successfully lead two DMAIC projects. 56% Reduction in PS Linewidth Variation. Led a multifunctional team that characterized and improved the photolithography process which resulted in a 17% improvement at customer test. Process variation was identified and reduced in the post apply bake, post exposure bake, and developer modules.
Reticle Dependant Yield Improvement. Multimillion dollar savings and cycle time improvements were realized through statistically designed reticle improvements. Managed a multifunctional team that identified reticle defects, qualified a design change, and converted all production to new design resulting in 8% higher yield at the customer.
● Lean Manufacturing Led an international team that included IT, Engineering, suppliers, and operations that reduced reticle service time by 80% by linking shop floor to service supplier.
● DMAIC Worked with Senior Management to define the scope of Greenbelt Projects to effectively implement DMAIC
● DMAIC Review Board Advised Lean Six Sigma Greenbelts at weekly review of ongoing projects.
● Training Engineers Established an in-house training program and trained 50% of engineering staff on Process Control Plan system.
● Greenbelt Coach – Coached the Metrology Engineer through a Green Belt project.
● Process Development Qualified a replacement resist for FEOL layers
● Lean Six Sigma Greenbelt Conducted Gauge R&R studies on Linewidth and Resist Thickness measurement tools to ensure Repeatability and Reproducibility of measurement tools
● TS 16949 Wrote TS-16949 Procedures and developed training modules for; SOP, Training Plan, OCAP
● Supplier Qualifications Negotiated tighter specifications with Resist Suppliers. Qualified a new reticle supplier. Qualified a vented pellicle system that allows for less reworks and defects and also lowered the risk for customer yield loss.
DuPont Photomask/Schott Lithotec
Engineering Group Leader
● Project Management. Team Leader of 16 indirect reports for the installation and start up of $20 million cleanroom manufacturing facility. Led daily operations of Engineering Team; Cleaning, Metal Deposition, Photolithography, and Inspection.
● Team Leadership Led Product Qualification Team of 12 indirect reports for advanced Mask Blanks Qualification. The team included Engineering, QA, Manufacturing, Facilities, and Maintenance. The scope of the project was; pilot production, conformance to specification, leading weekly product performance meetings with customers, writing/auditing Standard Operating Procedures, auditing
“Design of Experiment” settings prior to run, interpreting DOE results, and transferring advanced process from Germany to US operations
● Team Leadership Lead/Coordinate Production-Engineering-QA groups for the manufacturing of 45nm advanced Blanks
