Proven track record of quick, elegant designs meeting aggressive schedules, cost targets and optimizing High Volume Manufacturing processes. Patent-winning Tool-less Fixture Designs. Key Accomplishments:

• Integrated AM Fixture Designs into Global HVM Factory Lean Lines reducing takt times by >50%

• Design and fabrication of real-time, HVM Fixture parts using in-house 3D AM printers. This allowed our HVM factory to stay open during 2021/2022 COVID shut down despite supplier lockdowns. RF Safety LOTO’s

• Conceptualized and designed the Mobile Universal Service Fixture (USF) for the Sensei Platform. The USF replaced traditional PM-specific Top Plate Lift with cost savings of ~$8oK per System. Multiple L10 systems share the USF providing additional cost savings for Customers and valuable clean room space.

• Invented the C&F High-Heat Capacity Liquid Cold Plate to extend the thermal range of the TCP Window in Conductor Etch Products. This epoxy-bonded TCP Window integrated a patented, Dual-Zone Bifilar Cooling Channel within the TCP Window cavity. Designed an AM Ultem version for testing,

• Designed HVM Fast-Switching Aegis BTBAS Vapor Delivery System for Kiyo GX winning critical etch business. Designed a Field-upgradable Kit within the existing system footprint. Novel key-hole design allowed installation of HVM Module onto chamber in less than 5 minutes.

• Lead System Designer for Lam’s 450mm Alpha System for Albany Nanotech Complex @ NY University, Albany. NY. Shipped Lam’s 1st 450mm Etch System in Lam’s history.

• Lead Designer of Lam’s liaison with Veeco’s Ion Beam Etcher (IBE or Kyber). Fixture Design of 460 Source Door swap completed in <4 hours.

• System Designer for Lam’s “Integrated” System (DE, CE, DEP, IBE PM’s, Spin Clean, & Microwave Strip). Prepared 50+ executive-level Customer presentations and facility specifications and NX layout.

• Designed the Barium Fluoride Crystal Optical Fixtures in 1 week for the Large Calorimeter Detector for the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) in Texas.

• 11 Patents Disclosed, 7 Patents issued, 4 filed or provisional. Professional Skills:

Program Management: Directed projects from concept phase to production release by managing Detail Product Design Reviews, technical cost issues, scheduling and manpower needs. Liaison with System Director, CFT Members, Pilot Manufacturing, SBM’s and Suppliers to clearly define ERS and Project Scope requirements and provide repeatable cost-effective solutions and ideas. Personnel Management: Effectively communicates and motivates all levels and disciplines of personnel to accomplish tasks with aggressive schedules. Trained and mentored Lam College Interns. Reliable “Go-To” key idea contributor in CFT’s and Mentor for many NCG’s and Junior Engineers at Lam.
