Background

About Aaron Marsh

My graduate studies were in the atomic-scale physics of rare earth doped materials. I demonstrated and characterized quantum coherence on novel optical transitions of rare-earths, on crystals which I grew myself in a homemade furnace with homebrew lasers. I was fortunate to be enabled by Montana Instruments (MI) prototype sub <2K closed-cycle cryostat, as part of the QISE-NET triplet award I received. I then joined the development of INTEL4, INTEL3, and INTEL10A process nodes, where I was charged with sustaining excellence of interconnect critical dimensions (CDs). This involved daily debugging statistical process control (SPC) charts, identifying opportunities to reduce process variation, providing instructions to tool owners on how to contain critical defect modes, and statistically evaluating the CD health of the endless train of development packages.
