• Working with characterization team in ISDA alliance and develop POR tracking methodology (eg. JMP Scripts) to enable lot analysis and deploy to integration team. Use various statistical trouble-shooting tools eg correlation, ANOVA analysis and equipment timeline studies.
• Evaluate results of inline macros and work with relevant characterization groups to provide an accurate technical interpretation of issue and based on results, work with integration team to define next round of experimental splits.
• Propose/select a set of design macros termed HOL (Health of Line) indices to screen and optimize process module results to meet technology targets relating to performance, Yield and reliability from a test structure perspective.
• Prioritize and grade importance of macros being tested to create a priority list which accurately characterize key process changes within minimum time.
• Verify and debug test programs and testing issues of HOL macros and seldom checking layout to catch any potential design errors.

• Implementing Six-sigma DMAIC process to accurately identify and track Desktop related incidents globally and implement solutions to reduce global incidents by a target of 25%.
• Used Minitab software to analyse the incident data using statistical analysis. Identify the variables that have a significant effect on the issue.
• Brainstorm potential solutions based on the analysed data and generate different possible solutions.
• Working with teams in different parts of world, mainly Asia, Europe and North America, to implement the solutions and ensure the solutions implemented become part of the process for sustained improvement.
