Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSonal Dey is an Applications Team Lead and former Intel staff reliability/metrology engineer with ~10 years of experience driving defect reduction and yield improvements for advanced semiconductor nodes including GAA and Intel 18A. She combines deep physics training (PhD) with hands-on metrology, failure analysis, and lifetime modeling to cut latent escapes, shorten excursion detection times, and enable high-reliability production ramps. At Intel she led cross-functional programs that delivered >60% defect reductions and a 30% drop in latent escape risk via prescreening methodologies. Her background spans supplier management, capital tool evaluation, and ML-applied scatterometry, giving her a rare blend of experimental rigor and data-driven process control. Based in Portland, she’s known for turning complex measurement challenges into cost-effective, deployable solutions that accelerate fabs to volume. An uncommonly practical scientist, she translates academic materials expertise into operational wins across multiple fabs and suppliers.
