Summary

  • I always lived to work as a sensor developer

  • Image sensor array and got image out of it

  • Optical hygrometer

  • Fast tunable laser (repetition rate, wavelength, power)

  • Lots of course work on microfabrication and the etching and deposition mechanisms and their electrical, mechanical and thermal effect on the properties of the resulted material layers.

  • Mixed Signal Integrated circuit design (hands-on with 180nm and 135nm technologies in Cadance, both schematic and layout for 3 years, on a novel image sensor array)

  • Simulation of the possible physical response of the image sensor in Comsol multiphysics

  • Used to be great in semiconductor physics and its interaction with light. Strong fundation in photonics and semiconductor physics.

  • Got trained on 90nm, FinFET, microfabrication and materials, microfabrication equipment and their underlying physics and principles.

  • Highly specialized in fiber optics (conventional and micostructured) both fiber lasers

  • Well familiar with semiconductor-based lasers and technologies

  • Hands-on experience with Chrome-based 20nm Lithography mask creation, Chemical and plasma-assisted etching, Ion/particle etching and laser ablation, different deposition equipment, etc.

  • Competitive in mixed signal analog and digital circuit design both in Integrated circuit level and board level, low power, high frequency, miniature, power, and high power circuits, power supplies (linear and switching), EMI/EMC mitigation, protective measures (both human and device)

  • Used to well understand the underlying technologies for microfabrication and microelectroics
