PROCESS × DEVICE · HYBRID R&D ENGINEER

The person who knows both
CVD thin-film process and CMOS devices

11 years on the semiconductor front line — from 3D NAND to logic devices, from TFT to thin-film process windows. A cross-disciplinary process-device background that translates process problems into device language.

About

About me

I'm Diamond, a hybrid semiconductor R&D engineer. Over the past 11 years I've served at leading domestic memory and specialty-process fabs — working on CVD thin-film process and device R&D for 3D NAND, as well as TFT device development. Today I focus on CVD process development and process-device co-optimization.

My edge is this: I can tune thin-film uniformity, step coverage and stress at the chamber level, and at the device level map those film parameters into I-V characteristics and yield. This process-to-device perspective is especially rare in Process Integration Engineering (PIE) and Yield Enhancement (YE) roles.

I'm currently a PhD candidate, turning hands-on fab experience into reusable methodology — which is what this site is for.

Core skills

Process and device driven in parallel — not one as an extension of the other, but the true intersection of both.
