WORK EXPERIENCE
Macom Process Engineering: Photolithography Lowell, MA Process Engineer II May 2022 - present
Patterned semiconductor wafers with photosensitive plastics
Formulated new processes that reduced AZ-917 MIF solvent consumption by 85.6%
Created new data collection operations and implemented manufacturing protocols for data beyond control or specification limits as a part of a statistical process control effort
Worked to qualify new contact aligner and transferred over existing Macom products to the new tool
Created new exposure and develop steps for future use in Macom benzocyclobutene processing UMass Lowell Nanomaterial Research Lowell, MA
Research Co-op May 2021 – September 2021
Synthesized copper nanowires using Anodic Aluminum Oxide (AAO) templates
Utilized copper nanowire to reduce carbon dioxide and linear scan voltammetry (LSV)
Presented monthly research updates
PROJECTS
NxQ Qualification Project Lowell, MA
Engineering Co-op May 2024 – August 2024
Transferred existing recipes from Macom’s four existing contact aligners to new NxQ contact aligner
Created unique exposure recipes for 10 um and 15 um benzocyclobutene resist coats and evaluated tool overlay capability
Created a tool process monitor and spc procedure to track the intensity and performance of the new contact aligner
Trained tool pattern recognition software to automatically align and process semiconductor wafers, decreasing operator workload
Plant Design Capstone Project Lowell, MA
Engineering Capstone January 2024 – May 2024
Led a team of 7 chemical engineering students in creating a hypothetical industrial facility for atrazine production
Created process chemistry for atrazine synthesis, as well as process flow, facility layout, piping, and P&ID diagrams
Coordinated engineering efforts for process chemistry, separations, material transport, safety, energy conservation, instrumentation and controls, facility design, market analysis, and financials as project manager Developer Reduction Project Lowell, MA
Engineering Co-op May 2022 – August 2022
Created new photolithography processes using double puddle dissolution strategy instead of continuous spray, reducing solvent consumed
Compared feature sizes of wafers developed using existing recipes and new double puddle recipes using CD-SEM measurements
Consumption of developer was reduced by 85.6% and projections show implementation of the new recipe will result in
$62,519.52 in annual savings
