PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

A self-motivated software engineer with several year industrial and

commercial software experience, is looking for a challenging position in

which the contributions will be made with strong computer skills, analytic,

quick learning and problem solving abilities, experience and knowledge of

math and physics.

RECENT WORK EXPERIENCE

Senior software/algorithm engineer

KLA-Tencor

1 Technology Drive,

Milpitas, CA 95035 03/2004 ~

current

. As a major contributor worked on industry leading semiconductor

metrology (spectroscopic) testing and measurement tool's

software/algorithm architecture design and implementation. The job

responsibilities covered every part of the software/algorithm that

defined common nature of various subsystems, handled subsystems

separately in terms of operation principles and application

categories and involved mathematical models and solutions including

signal processing/analysis, parameter extraction and optimization.

Dealing with sophisticated electronics and optics systems, the

software and algorithm solved problems of semiconductor

manufacturing, measurement statistics and electromagnetic

computations with analytic and numerical techniques. The software

and algorithm included generic techniques such as search, sort,

regression and recursion.

. Extensively worked in each cycle of software development: defined

feature specifications by collaborating with marketing, application

and hardware engineers, system engineers, software engineers and

customers; derived requirements of software from

feature/functionality requirements; designed, implemented/coded

many large-scale projects in C/C++, wrote over 100,000 lines code,

tested/debugged, evaluated, documented and demonstrated the

software and algorithms.

. Within time deadline and budget limit, independently or as a major

team player worked on new metrology tool development and existing

tool upgrade, maintenance and support including developed new

software/algorithm to provide data acquisition, system

configurations, calibrations, recipe setup, simulation, data

processing, system modeling, result calculation, optimization, data

analysis and user interface.

. Defined and implemented various data structures representing

various parts and procedures of testing tools and related

algorithms with object-oriented methods.

. Collaborating with application engineers and customers, developed

different dispersion models representing semiconductor material

characteristics and incorporated the models into system to perform

further calculations and measurements.

. Designed, implemented TCP/IP protocol program to communicate

between computer and firmware (FPGA) board providing test APIs and

socket interfaces to perform data acquisition, system

configuration, diagnostics, hardware control and operation and

information display.

. Developed offline simulation and optimization software: designed

and implemented the data structures of subsystems, designed and

implemented user interface including GUI and scripting to perform

data loading, system simulation and optimization, recipe and

calibration editing, result analysis and display. As an example,

independently developed an offline calibration editor that allowed

users to edit all the calibrations and load them on-tool.

. Provided supports to other groups such as marketing, application,

hardware and systems.

. Provided supports to customers developing special features

requested and providing fix to defects of software.

OTHER RELATED WORK EXPERIENCE

Staff scientist/developer/senior application engineer

RSoft Design Group, Inc (Now, part of Synopsys)

400 Executive Blvd.,

Ossining, NY 10562 10/1999 ~

. Independently or as a team player developed large-scale industry

leading opto-electronic system modeling tool. This tool dealt with

a combination of analog/binary, electrical and optical signals and

presented analysis results as signals in time-domain, spectra and

eye-diagrams.

. Independently developed models to perform electro-optical

system/link simulations. Models included non-linear,

time/frequency varying optical amplifier, fiber Bragg grating, S

and coupled S blocks, polarization transformer, arrayed waveguide

(router) and optical/custom filter with various algorithms. EXEs

and DLLs were generated.

. Independently or as a major team player worked on the architecture

design and implementation of the modeling software. Developed

requirements, software component design, and various algorithms for

these components. Defined data structure and signal/noise

representation formats. Extracted the complex mathematical models

for system blocks according to their physical nature.

. Developed library functions and classes for the overall system

tool. Conducted extensive programming work in C/C++ for various

large modules.

. Extensively tested the models developed and validated the models

with carefully designed plans. Tested product releases and newly

developed software. Authored sections of manuals and user

documentation. Worked with vendors to set up the component

libraries.

. Coordinated with GUI developer in support of the software package.

Integrated models developed by engineers into system. Maintained

tools and utilities.

. Supported customers with special requirements and fixed defects.

. Cooperated with other parties to conduct government sponsored

research projects. Worked with other parties to share data format

and make the tool smoothly connect and communicate with other

commercial software and testing tools.

. As applications, performed simulation of multi-channel systems,

component and system modeling and optimization. Supported/trained

customers and assisted application/sales engineers to use or sell

the tool. Attended trade shows to demonstrate customers the

products.
