Ryan Parekh

- Conducted a design of experiment for a single strand CVD ALD inhibition process - Contributed to pathfinding efforts by improving next-generation wafer bonding integration methods and performed cleanroom debonding tests on W2W fusion bonded wafers - Analyzed trends in dielectric interfaces using various surface techniques including: AFM, XPS, FTIR & TOF-SIMS - Streamlined PMON failure handling by eliminating unnecessary SEM/EDX imaging across chambers, leading to savings of $45K annually • Invention disclosure pending patent

- Tested the viability of an unproven eco-friendly gas replacement on Reactive Ion Etching tools - Analyzed wafer defects using SEM and data patterning - Worked collaboratively across different groups and gained experience using statistical analysis software such as JMP

- Prepared and cooked seasonal cuisine at a Restaurant and adjoining Poolside Grill - Enabled Food service at large service events and banquets (150+ people) - Demonstrated organizational and problem solving skills individually and as part of kitchen staff, taking increased responsibility each year.

- Assisted Lead Instructors in teaching students about the fabrication of memory chips for Micron Chip Camp - Instructed students through Micron's cleanroom, presented STEM related cleanroom activities and taught how to properly dress to ensure minimal contamination of the cleanroom inside Boise State University Micro-fabrication Lab. - Aided in preparing activities for STEM related activities such as: Logic Gates, Binary Coding, Launching rockets, etc.
