CURRENT WORK
EXPERIENCE
Motorola – Austin, TX 09/00 - Present
Device Engineer: Responsible for device technology ownership and lot disposition based
on probe results, SPC charts and failure analysis. Designed special work instructions for
process engineering, analyzing data, making final recommendations based on parameter
and yield analysis. Special projects include new part introduction on RF BiCMOS
process flow, MIM capacitor breakdown voltage characterization, Leff re-size to increase
final speed and yield. These projects were developed on 0.5μm, 0.4μm and 0.3μm
technology nodes (www.motorola.com.)
GRADUATE
RESEARCH
I did research within the graduate program of Microelectronics-Photonics at the
University of Arkansas, an award winning interdisciplinary graduate education program.
This involved taking multiple departments’ courses, and participating in a pseudoengineering group of students from various educational backgrounds
(www.uark.edu/depts/microep.)
1/99 – 7/01
I worked under the direction of Dr. Simon Ang and Prof. Ken Vickers while developing
my project at Texas Instruments. My research consisted of qualifying and optimizing
plasma resist strip equipment in a silicon-processing environment considering charging
damage and other class probe parameters as the main metric.
IC PROCESSING
EXPERIENCE
Texas Instruments – Merrimack, NH 1/00 – 09/00
Process Engineer: This is co-op experience gained while developing my thesis. The
project consists of qualifying a Mattson Aspen plasma asher tool from vendor
recommended operating parameters, and finally optimizing it using DOE methods. This
process taught proper wafer fab protocols and wafer-handling, statistical process control
methodology and fabrication issues that ultimately affect yield (www.ti.com.)
University of Arkansas – Fayetteville, AR
(IC Fabrication Technology Laboratory)
This is a two semester theory and practical course sequence in which a wafer is
processed to produce and characterize MOS, bipolar devices and testing structures. This
was coupled by a one semester course on electrical, mechanical and chemical issues in
IC packaging.

Galtronics Ltd. – Tiberias, Israel
Reliability Systems Engineering: Designed and built reliability testing equipment for
accelerated life tests for high frequency antennas in cellular phone applications.
Automation Engineering: Worked with logic circuitry of special automatic machines in
production lines of high frequency antennas. Gained experience with inductive sensors,
timers, and similar control system devices (www.galtronics.com).

HONORS
9/99 – Present
University of Arkansas – Fayetteville, AR
(Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies)
Database Development: Assistant to Programmer Analyst. Assisted in the development
of a database application project for the National Park Service delivered by 07/98.
Gained experience with object oriented programming and database query language
utilizing Visual Fox Pro as the interface (www.cast.uark.edu.)
Student Ambassadors: Selected to represent the University of Arkansas at information
sessions and visitations programs. Entailed leading weekly campus tours, narrating the
university’s history, providing prospective students with information about the various
colleges and highlighting new and upcoming features of the campus.
8/98-5/99
Student Mentor: Selected as a student mentor to develop a sense of community on a
residence hall floor consisting of 50 freshmen male students and to establish a supportive
academic environment that benefited all students.
5/94
Leadership Center of the Americas (LCA): Granted participation as an assistant
coordinator for the summer LCA conference for students. LCA is sponsored by the U.S.
government to foster leadership, problem solving techniques, and a network of contacts
throughout the continent.
