  • Deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) and reactive ion-etching (RIE) of silicon substrates.
  • Metrology and imaging of completed or in-process devices using a profilometer, optical microscope, ellipsometry, SEM, and AFM.
  • Working in a clean room environment and following good practices to maintain the clean room environment.
  • Maintaining a high attention to detail, including the ability to precisely follow detailed process instructions from a run sheet, and to inspect and report on details of results after each processing step.
