Senior Research Engineer 01/2012 - 01/2016
Research Institute, Singapore, Singapore Singapore
Industry: Semiconductor
- Non-volatile memory, such as MRAM, STT-MRAM,PCRAM,FeRAM - Linux, CAD, PDK system
• Researched in various competing technologies for new devices in non-volatile memory, such as MRAM, STT-MRAM, PCRAM and FeRAM - developed various array-structures, timing-control mechanisms, WRITE drivers, READ sense-amplifiers, interfacing peripherals, with patents filed. Researched in various new applications and interoperability interfaces with existing memory technologies (SRAM &DRAM). • Searched and analysed related patents in the state of arts, comparing features & advantages with regards to the technical aspect, and construing claims with regards to the legal monopoly. • Advised on industrial practices on various technical issues, such as quality standards, failure & risk analysis, and fabrication requirements. Managed Linux, CAD and PDK system for project workspace setup, design software installation and network system maintenance.--
Senior Design Engineer 01/2010 - 01/2011
Solomon Systech, Shenzhen, Shenzhen China
Industry: Semiconductor
- New product development - SAR ADC, Temperature sensor, DTXCO - Full chip design
• Joined department for new product developments, and immediately took on responsibility for critical-modules review & new architectures proposition (such as SAR ADC, temperature-sensor, DTXCO). • Developed new architectures for critical modules from overall system perspective, vital for planned product entry into new market. Reviewed existing features of competitor’s products and proposed latent functionality, which give competitive advantage in interoperability with broader range of applications beyond existing availability in the market. • Responsible for full design development on analog section, and successfully produced silicon prototype consisting of critical modules which meets customers’ requirements. Involved in other aspects of project management, such as reviewing team member’s designs, and advised on broad range of technical issues.--
Senior Design Engineer 01/2006 - 01/2009
International Rectifier, Singapore, Singapore Singapore
Industry: Semiconductor
- Full Chip design - High Voltage BiCMOS - Problem- solve - Collaborated extensively with HQ in USA
• Immediately took on responsibilities for full-chip design in independent projects. Expanded competency in high-voltage BiCMOS process by leveraging on transferable skills acquired through deep understanding of transistor-level design & fundamental design concepts. • Successfully revived life cycle of legacy product, by overcoming device limitations in new fabrication process; via inventive and unconventional usage of latent devices in the process for the shunt-regulator (elaborated in published patent application with added advantage). • Worked closely with application engineers on drafting datasheets and assisted test engineers in prototype testing procedure using FIB equipment. Collaborated with HQ team based in United States (El Segundo, Los Angeles, CA) for various projects.--
Design Engineer 01/2000 - 01/2005
Infineon Technologies, Singapore, Singapore Singapore
Industry: Semiconductor
- Designed Silicon proven analog and mixed-signal modules for integration into AFE CODEC chips - Attached to various design centres in Austria, Germany and Switzerland
• Immediately applied specialized skills and knowledge in switched-capacitors from M.ENG research project to various projects with commercially successful products in telecommunication technologies (Infineon Technologies was the market leader in ISDN and VOIP chips). • Designed silicon proven analog & mixed-signal modules for integration into AFE CODEC chips – temperature sensor, linear voltage regulator, ADC, DAC, bandgap reference, input low-noise amplifier & output driver with high power capability - in low-voltage, deep sub-micron CMOS process. • Attached extensively to design centres in Austria (Graz) and Germany (Munich & Dresden). Involved in the development of the very first NAND-Flash product of Infineon in Dresden. Received training in ETPL Switzerland (Lausanne) from distinguished academia professors and top industrial practitioners from USA and Europe.--
