About Megha Chitranshi

I’m a Yield Development Engineer with 2+ years of experience in semiconductor manufacturing, focused on yield enhancement, failure analysis, and process optimization. My core strengths include DOE, SPC, defect reduction, and data-driven decision-making to support high-volume manufacturing. With a PhD in Nanomaterials and over 4 years of research experience in carbon nanotube synthesis (FCCVD), I bring deep expertise in materials characterization (SEM, TEM, Raman, electrical, mechanical) and interdisciplinary R&D. I have led NIOSH-funded projects as Principal Investigator, and my work has contributed to environmental applications in filtration, heating, and electrochemical systems. Expertise: • Yield Debug | Failure Analysis | SPC | DOE • Semiconductor Process Development & Equipment Qualification • Carbon Nanotube Synthesis (FCCVD)| Materials Characterization • Data Analysis | Research Leadership | Scientific Communication I thrive at the intersection of research and manufacturing, applying analytical rigor to solve complex yield challenges and optimize processes from lab to fab
