`Mountain View, California
`President & CEO
`Clients include semiconductor equipment, plasma generation,
`vacuum systems, fluid delivery systems, flow and pressure
`component suppliers, laser manufacturers, consumer electronics,
`industrial electronics, vehicles, telecommunications, etc.
`Consulting work includes thin film characterization, process
`development, project turn-around/rescue, gas flow and vacuum
`metrology, design of experiments, corrosive gas applications,
`finite element analysis, and related market analysis.
`Applied Materials, Inc.
`Santa Clara, California
`Engineering Manager, Core-Technologist
`I sat on the corporate engineering/technology (ET)
`•
`council, one of 15 council members. Responsible for corporate
`direction in high purity processing, gas, and chemical delivery
`technology for all divisions, including CVD, EPI, PVD, RTP,
`ETCH, PRS, Thermal Processing, CMP, Flat Panel Display, and
`others. Also, qualified gas and vacuum component selections. In
`addition, I consulted with all divisions on gas and vacuum
`systems, liquid source delivery systems, components, chemical
`and process gas, and supplier selections.
`I received a patent for improved tungsten (W) CVD
`•
`deposition with carbon doping.
`I successfully proposed and executed a project that
`•
`SEMATECH S100 funded. The goal was to develop industry
`methods to determine the effects of trace chemicals on
`semiconductor processing and equipment reliability. This work
`resulted in two SEMATECH Technology Transfers listed below.
`First, we introduced ppb levels of impurities into both a
`Tungsten CVD deposition process and an aluminum etching
`process. Subsequently, we examined the effect on particle
`generation, deposition rate, uniformity, selectivity, and
`incorporation into the film. This work resulted in a 30% increase

`in deposition rate. Similarly, we introduced ppb-ppm levels of
`impurities into HBr gas systems and conducted accelerated
`lifetime tests at three sites across the country. Also, we measured
`gas composition in situ of Tungsten CVD and Al Etch process
`by quadrupole mass spectrometry.
`I managed gas, vacuum, and chemical components,
`•
`evaluation, testing, and supplier quality management. Also, I led
`an engineering group that tested and recommended gas, vacuum,
`and chemical component for the CVD division and developed
`process controls at suppliers. In addition, I supervised the
`laboratory and trained individuals to create specialized testing
`capabilities to characterize gas delivery and vacuum
`components. Also, I supported Etch, PVD, and other divisions
`with shared suppliers, including vacuum pumps, vacuum
`transducers, flow controllers, valves, etc.
`I managed a group of engineers and support personnel
`•
`who developed gas panels and liquid source chemical delivery
`systems for dielectric deposition. Delivered TEOS, TMP, TMB,
`and many other organometallic precursors for USG, PSG, and
`BPSG dielectric deposition. Developed organometallic CVD
`systems extensively. We designed multiple liquid source
`delivery systems for organometallic chemical precursors, i.e.
`bubblers, boilers, and injectors.
`I managed the CVD division design support group: CAD
`•
`designers, drafters, and CAD systems for division. I brought in
`first 3D CAD systems and the first FEA program.
`I established and managed the customer engineering
`•
`special group for the CVD division, which engineered all
`equipment modifications to meet customer specifications. These
`modifications included changes across the entire system,
`including process chambers, vacuum systems, gas delivery,
`power distribution, safety, and robotics.
`I worked on the development and release of a landmark
`•
`product, the Precision 5000 CVD, one of which is now in the
`Smithsonian Institute. This was the first cluster tool for
`semiconductor manufacturing.
`I developed dielectric layers of silicon dioxide (glass or
`•
`USG), boron phosphorous silicon glass (BPSG), phosphorous
`silicon glass (PSG), nitride, oxy-nitride, and others.
`I was responsible for flow and vacuum equipment
`•
`suppliers for the company including MFC, valves, mechanical
`vacuum pumps, cryo-pumps, dry pumps, and others. Supported
`multiple divisions on these matters.

`Ph.D.
`Completed a dissertation in the department of Materials Science &
`Engineering leading to the Ph.D. degree.
`Research includes:
`• Plasma Deposition of Diamond-Like Carbon and
`Fluorinated Amorphous Carbon and the Resultant Properties and
`Structure.
`• Characterized stress, strain and hardness of films. Related
`the stress energy state to the diamond like nature of the thin films.
`Investigation of deposition mechanism fluorinated
`•
`amorphous carbon (FLAC) and diamond-like carbon (DLC), low k
`dielectric materials.
`• Modeled and conducted experiments on mechanism of ion
`energy, momentum and flux dependence for FLAC and DLC film
`synthesis in radio-frequency plasma discharges, including
`competing mechanisms of sub-plantation, ion-peening, sputtering,
`and etching.
`• Constructed and instrumented a multi-purpose processing
`chamber for PE-CVD, etch, and sputtering with measurement
`capability.
`• Fabricated MIS capacitors to investigate the dielectric
`properties of fluorinated amorphous carbon (FLAC). Performed all
`wafer processing to construct MIS capacitors, including
`lithography, etch, CVD and PVD.
`• Conducted thin film analysis including UV absorption
`spectroscopy, spectral ellipsometry, multi-incident angle
`ellipsometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, profilometry,
`nano-indentation, RBS, HFS, nano-indentation, and gravimetric
`measurements.
`• Modeled dielectric properties and dispersion relationship of
`fluorinated amorphous carbon (FLAC), and compared spectral
`ellipsometric measurements to results of electrical CV tests and
`thickness measurements by profilometry using MIS structures.
