I am an enthusiastic and driven scientist with over 10 years’ experience in the semiconductor field. I have led multiple projects using different materials including Silicon, GaAs and GaN. As a result, I have now a good understanding of device physics and a strong expertise in designing reliable manufacturing process flow, designing mask layout, fabricating devices as well as measuring their performances. I have spent many years in research and recently further strengthen my semiconductor expertise with my first experience in a semiconductor foundry.
