Message

At Samsung Semiconductor, I qualify CMP materials to improve quality and reduce cost, investigate material issues through data analysis, and support incoming-material quality. Previously, I installed and qualified CMP equipment for large-scale fab operations and improved equipment design through failure analysis.

I’ve also supported CMP process standardization, defect reduction, throughput improvement, and 24/7 production control using SPC, Six Sigma, DOE, SQL, and JMP. My background includes chemical engineering research in biomolecular electronics and infrared camouflage, plus biomedical equipment maintenance in the US Air Force and hospital settings.
