At Intel Corporation / Altera, I designed full-custom, transistor-level layouts for high-speed SerDes IPs on advanced FinFET nodes. I owned block-level layouts from device matching through parasitic-aware optimization.
I ran DRC, LVS, and RV with Calibre, and EM/IR analysis with Totem. I resolved violations and implemented ECOs through tape-out.
I was selected for the TSMC N3 ramp-up and led knowledge transfer to layout teams in the US and Malaysia. I also mentored 4 layout engineers through guidance and layout reviews.
For the 112G SerDes Transmitter PISO on TSMC N5, I completed full-custom layout under tight area constraints, and it taped out successfully. Other projects included an Intel 18A LDO block that reached clean physical verification and high-frequency dividers on TSMC N5.
