02/04 - 05/05 Wet Etch Process Engineer, Fab 1A

Micron Technology, Boise, Idaho

●Job responsibilities include: Maintaining and supporting existing processes through statistical process control (SPC) metrics, investigation and analysis of discrepant materials, implementation of yield improvement and cost reduction programs as well as direct support of equipments.

●Equipment experience includes:

oSteag / SCP Wet benches

oDNS wet benches

oDNS Scrubbers

oTEL hoods

04/00 - 02/03 Surface Prep Process Engineer, DMOS V Wafer Fabrication

Texas Instruments, Inc., Dallas, Texas

●Job responsibilities include: creating new processes using design of experiments (DOE), qualification of new tools, developing and monitoring statistical process control (SPC) metrics to improve quality, root cause investigation of discrepant materials and implementation of yield improvement and cost reduction programs, as well as writing operating specifications and training manufacturing specialists.

●Experiences included Front End of Line (FEOL) surface preparatory processes such as Pre Furnace Clean (PFC); resist strip processes such as Post Ash Clean (PAC), Split Gate Deglaze, Gate Etch Clean and Pre Sputter Clean, and wet etch processes such as Oxide and Nitride strip, Titanium Salacide and Cobalt Salacide strip.

●Process ownership included FEOL processes such as Post Ash Clean, Gate Etch Clean, Pre Sputter Clean, Titanium and Cobalt Salicide strips, Contact Clean and Back End of Line (BEOL) processes such as Cryokinetic Clean and Slag Etch Clean.

●Developmental Project: HPA07 Titanium Nitride (TIN) to Poly Capacitor

oSuccessfully developed Wet Etch portion of Dry + Wet Process for TIN to Poly Capacitor that reduces lateral etching and undercutting, aids in TIN filament removal, and achieves high TIN to oxide selectivity.

oThe developed process produces excellent die matching characteristic between the two capacitors due to minimal lateral etching and undercutting. In addition, this process provides complete TIN filament removal, thereby, eliminating shorts.

oProcess of record has been patented (Patent # 6,686,237)

oProjected revenue: > 2.0 billion dollars.

●Developmental Project: HPA07 Contact to Thin Film (TF) Resistor Layer

oEffectively developed Wet Etch portion of Dry + Wet Process for Contact to TF SiCr Resistor layer that minimizes the contact area between TF Resistor Head and the TF SiCr Resistor.

oHigh selectivity of Oxide to SiCr from the wet etch process enables well defined contacts with good profile and repeatability.

oProcess of record is currently under patent review.

oProjected revenue: > 2.0 billion dollars.

●Successfully qualified new Sulfuric Acid and Hydrogen Peroxide chemicals that were more cost-effective and better quality grade in terms of defect density for DMOS V.

●Active member of the Defect Density Reduction Team for Poly to Pre Form Loop

●Successfully identified and characterized the sources of small particles for both Poly Oxidation and Pre Sputter Clean process.

●Coordinated efforts with Equipment Engineers (EEs) to reduce particle defects that were equipment related.

●Adjusted tighter limits on process control charts to ensure faster responses to repeated excursions.

●Developed defect density database and disposition specs to allow efficient and effective responses to future excursions.

●Released new equipments and supported manufacturing.

●Equipment experience includes:

oFSI International: Mercury MPs and Aries

oDai Nippon Service (DNS) Hoods

oSEZ Hoods

oMetrology Equipments: Optiprobe, KLA/Tencor, and AIT
