Product Development Manager Staktek Corporation August 1990 - April 1996
Austin
Designed and developed products for three dimensional memory packaging resulting in a cost-effective solution to very dense computer memory packaging. The products called Stakpaks are 3D stacked memory multi-chip modules that share several common signals. The technology addresses large-scale manufacture and deals with the thermal design problem inherent in multiple stacked memory chips.
Twelve patents cover this technology of stacking molded packages or ceramic packages for extended temperature in military-space (TRW satellite operating in vacuum) applications. Some of these patents cover stacking die inside low cost molded packages with cascading wire bonding with the key design component being how to effectively relocate the heat inside and outside the module.
As the first employee of Staktek Corporation, I was responsible for development of the product components and precision automated production tooling and product movement devices. During my tenure at Staktek we went from investment seed-money to a company of 1,000 US workers producing $15 million worth of memory modules per year. This development included automated test using tray-to-tray test handlers with full custom thermal and contact apparatus on Teradyne equipment.
Machine set up and initial production start up was part of my task because of the developmental nature of the stacked configuration and the delicate structures that the automatic test equipment had to thermally cycle and contact while under memory array testing. Designs include precision lead forming before proprietary impact solder process of my invention. The semiconductor handing and processing equipment and tooling was designed and fabricated under my direction. Precision tooling issues were resolved both on custom designed automated equipment and modifications to other equipment manufacturers machine to adapt to the delicate stacked modules.
