• R&D Engineer 4

  • Mar 2013 - Sep 2016

  Supporting research and development efforts within the Marvell Nanofabrication Laboratory, a 15,000 sq. ft. class 100/1000 cleanroom with over 500 academic and industrial researchers. As the lead engineer within the Process Group, I was responsible for supporting and developing nanofabrication techniques and was tasked with enhancing metrology and materials characterization capabilities within the lab. I managed mask making operations by providing CAD layout services, design assessment, and translation into pattern generation. I provided workshops, classes, and hands-on training to researchers in the area of electron microscopy, optical microscopy, X-ray diffractometery, and IC layout.My equipment responsibilities included an FEI Nova NanoSEM 650 schottky field emission scanning electron microscope, Zeiss-Leo 1550 schottky field emission scanning electron microscope, Olympus LEXT OLS4000 3D laser confocal microscope, Gaertner 115B variable angle ellipsometer, Veeco Wyco NT3300 white-light interferometer profiler, Siemans D5000 X-ray diffractometer, GCA 3600 pattern generator, APT chrome and emulsion mask processors, GCA 8500 6-inch wafer stepper, West Bond 7400B wire bonder.
