RELATED EXPERIENCE:

**/**-**/** **** Inc

Durham, NC

Process Development Engineer - Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition R&D

. Part of a team focused on improving the epitaxial growth process for

LED lighting products.

. Guided MOCVD process development through correlation and

interpretation of large data sets (process data, electrical/optical

testing, XRD, PL, CV, and optical/SEM imaging)

. Monitored the effects of lab wide NH3 quality, source, and consumption

rates on device performance by analyzing FTIR scans and wafer level

electronic properties.

. Designed, tested and implemented multiple iterations for consumable

parts in order to improve process yield by reduction of wavelength

variance.

. Projected and tracked inventory of consumable parts by interfacing

with design and

ordering departments.

. Improved part lifetime through monitoring internal practices and

adjusting OEM production practices.

. Sole 2nd shift engineering resource for development team responsible

for multiple tools and processes

. Trained new hires on introductory skills and responsibilities

associated with process ownership
