Fremont, California, United States
• Led the design of NPI vacuum chamber parts, overseeing part mechanical design, substrate and coating material selection, structural, and thermal analysis.
• Specialized in advanced coating technologies including Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), Aerosol Deposition (AD), Thermal Spray Coating, Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD).
• Applied GD&T principles to ensure precise chamber part designs, optimizing for tight vacuum seals without compromising part manufacturing yield
• Performed Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on heated ceramic chamber parts to mitigate risks of thermomechanical failure.
• Facilitated introductory design FMEA meetings at the initiation of projects to enhance risk assessment and mitigation strategies.
• Led cross-functional team (CFT) meetings aimed at defect reduction for the Metal Etch series.
• Integrated a sensor suite into the Sense.I etch tool while meticulously documenting sensor locations using P&ID diagrams to ensure precise system monitoring and enhanced process control.
