Dear Lab members:
We have added two staff this summer to support the lab: Mr. Brett Huff and Dr. Michelle Rincon. They sit in the same office at 144 Allen.
Michelle is a Process Development Engineer and her first areas of responsibility will be ALD and CMP. While Dr. J Provine is still here for us to consult with, Michelle will be gradually taking over ownership of the tools, processes and training for the 3 existing ALDs and helping with the start-up of the next 2. She will also be slowly taking ownership of the CMP tool from Dr. Ed Myers, who also will still be around to support the tool & processes with his expert input. She is a part of the Renovation 2 team that will be replacing our wet benches over the next 3 years.
Michelle’s background includes 9 years at Intel/Numonyx (the Intel/ST Flash Memory spin-off) where she focused on process development primarily for flash memory down to the 45nm node. She developed batch and single wafer cleans and transferred them to high volume manufacturing sites within the US, Europe, and Asia.
Most recently, Michelle spent a couple of years at a start-up focused on using nano materials to make lithium ion battery components. Her educational background is in Chemical Engineering with her PhD from Penn State and her BS from Northwestern.
Brett is now the SNF Cleanroom Manager and his position involves three main priorities: safety, process tool availability and cleanroom micro-contamination. Brett is also chairing our more formalized Change Control Board (CCB)/Spec Mat committee, meeting every Friday. Elmer, Gary, Ted and Jim H., are all now supervised by Brett is his position to insure the cleanroom and the process tools stay safely operational.
Brett served 21.5 years at Intel. The first 7 years were spent in process module development for PECVD thin films applications. The next 7 years were spent doing process integration, primarily mid section/contact modules and back end dielectrics and polish. Brett moved to Intel Capital for 3 years where he worked to integrate a highly reflective Al layer into an existing Intel Cu technology for the purpose of selective projection displays. His final years were spent in Q&R working on yield issues and change control procedures. Brett comes to SNF from 2 years of fab management at SRI International in Menlo Park. He holds an Engineering BS from the University of Minnesota.
Brett’s extension is x4-0847 and Michelle’s is x5-0307. Feel free to drop by and introduce yourself to either or both in the offices or in the fab. And please make them feel welcome coming to Stanford.
Regards,
John Bumgarner
Operations Director
