Some might call him "Nemesis of Sand Hill Road"? and a very successful one at that - the distinguished Rider, who happens to be a very successful inventor, scientist and businessman.
The Horse, silly, is merely lucky, (ed. correction "was", as the Horse recently passed on) with his stable not far from the former Reagan ranch, on one of the larger spreads in the region ...
Sadly, Igor (aka silly horse, which he certainly was) passed away a month ago and is now in the great pasture in the sky. We miss him terribly. The unknown rider (I won't spoil your fun) still has "Johnny", who is in training to be next in line for quiet rides on the ranch.
MICROFAB ENGINEER - CMU '82 - Innovative & Pragmatic. Expert in fixing ANY microfab process problem - limiting yield or performance or R&D. Methodical expedient 6-Sigma focus in problem solving. A consistent track record, with notable yield & microfabrication process improvements for over 27years. Prepares with substantive literature and IP research when appropriate.
Example Case - ID'ing root cause & fix to a 3yr old wafer fab IC part in volume production, after IDing cause & fix to -20% fab-wide crash. After IDing low yield cause in 2hrs, tripled IC part’s fab yield in 2mos.
Additionally enjoys device/ process inventing & R&D.
Veteran of Intel Fab3 '386, Mitel CMOS, Natl Semi Eprom/EE, Cray 3 GaAs, Motorola MOS 8, IC Sensors, Applied Materials/ ETEC Ebeam Litho & Digital Instruments NanoProbes.
Expert in Nano and Microfab processes (thin films, etch & Litho), Process / Device Flow Integration & numerous analytical techniques for F/A, notably AFM, SEM, FIB etc.. Competent in numerous novel instrumentation techniques.
