About Alan L. Sidman

Results-driven technical leader and chief micro-electronic wafer process architect with substantial experience in innovative microfabrication process/product development. Drive demonstration, qualification, scale-up and manufacturing of cutting-edge discrete and active-circuitry (ASIC, TFT) integrated “smart” Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) sensors/actuators and other micro-electronic devices. Broad and in-depth expertise in microfabrication methods, including microlithography, deposition, etch, CMP, wafer-level packaging, back-end assembly, measurement and test, process optimization and yield/reliability improvement. High-energy contributor to bottom-line, producing over $300M in product revenues. Managed fast-paced, high-visibility, business-critical new technology programs/products from concept through volume-production. Strong analytical, problem-solving and process development/optimization skills. Formulate strategic technology roadmaps and implementation plans. Collaborative management style in multi-disciplinary environments. Committed to quality and customer satisfaction. Experienced in large corporation and small entrepreneurial start-up business environments with domestic and international customers/partners. Some examples: Developed microfabricated device designs and processes resulting in high-yield volume production of >10M AMR e-compass magnetometer die/month. Developed high-yield, high-reliability, low-loss RF MEMS ohmic-contact switches with hermetic wafer-level packaging. Produced >1M RF MEMS switches on various substrate types.Eight issued U.S. patents plus three recent patent applications for micro-magnetic and MEMS devices, processes and materials. Currently consulting on cutting-edge device microfabrication and business development. Seeking my next \"all-in\" opportunity in the Greater Boston area.
