(Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing industry)

April 1996 — October 1998 (2 years 7 months)

Precision temperature measurements of Si wafers in Rapid Thermal Processing furnaces (RTP) and other semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Using thermocouples and pyrometers, very accurate model based control systems where built that allowed to improve measurement accuracy and temperature control repeatability from 1% (10 degree C at 1,000 degree C) to 0.1% (1 degree C at 1,000 degree C)
R&D engineer

Alcatel

(Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; Telecommunications industry)

April 1994 — March 1996 (2 years )

Hybrid Fiber Coax (cable modem infrastructure). Developed detailed specifications and fully executable C programmed models for optimal detection and synchronisation of QPSK and 64QAM (DVB) data packets (particularly in burst mode) on networks consisting of optical fiber and coax. This involved understanding of RF issues, modulation schemes (QPSK, 64QAM, Spread Spectrum, DSSS, ...), MAC techniques (TDMA, CDMA, ...) and DSP approaches for optimal signal filtering, packet detection and synchronization.
R&D engineer

IMEC

(Non-Profit; 1001-5000 employees; Semiconductors industry)

Advanced R&D on temperature measurement and control in Rapid Thermal Processing furnaces. At that time the market leader in RTP. Moved to Silicon Valley (Milpitas) with the whole family. Interesting experience!
researcher

IMEC

(Non-Profit; 1001-5000 employees; Semiconductors industry)

1987 — 1992 (5 years )

Preparing my PhD in the field of Rapid Thermal Processing. Main results where:
* a method for correct temperature measurement with a pyrometer, with in-situ correction for changes in emissivity and for reflected radiation from the heating elements
* full modeling of the effect of lithographic patterns on the temperature non-uniformity of the Si wafer
* detailed measurement of emissivity of Si wafers (with an without metallic and oxide layers)
