Pros: As a design engineer, I crafted lid boxes for the Condor system, lift pin guides for the etching chamber, modified the cathode for the G8 chamber, and designed a nanoswitch/phasorswitch box for a chamber assembly. In addition to my design experience, I also analyzed the root cause of wafer breakages in the Carina chamber due to a plasma coating issue. In this project, I worked with a group of scientists to solve why wafer breakages were occurring. In another project, along with another scientist, I conducted wafer temperature uniformity measurements on the Carina chamber to check temperature distribution over a number of trials. From my individual experience, I also learned how the Condor chamber is configured. Lastly, I performed tests loading wafers from FOUPs to be plasma coated in the fab room.

Cons: In retrospect, I believe that if more guidance and more projects were provided, it would have improved my productivity. The complexity of the projects would have been further developed, providing a method for developing more in-depth and detailed knowledge and work experience.

Pros: Located in Cali, a nice place.

Cons: Watch out for the export control.

Pros: Interesting technology and good people.

Cons: can be slow and bureaucratic
