I have 35 years of experience and specialize in the field of semiconductor technology with specific knowledge in the areas of CMP, process development and materials development. I have published on such topics as CMP technology trends, CMP slurry formulations and on-chip interconnects. I have testified on CMP slurry formulation. I was a member of the original development team at IBM that brought CMP from a skunk works project to volume chip production, which has grown into the $4B market segment that it is today.
