Ms. Pathak specializes in all aspects of semiconductor devices and related systems issues. She has 35 years of professional experience—3 years in teaching and rest in the semiconductor industry. Ms. Pathak has strong background in new technology and product development including circuit and logic design, product testing, manufacturing, yield enhancement, and failure analysis. Ms. Pathak has managed teams that have defined new technologies and designed and manufactured semiconductor products using these state of the art technologies. These products are used in computers and peripherals, cameras, cell phones, automobiles, telecommunications, electronic security, space and military electronics, and many other consumer applications. Some of these products have included: ROMs, SRAMs, EPROMs, FLASH, EEPROMs, PLDs, FPGA’s, Configurators, Video Display chips, Smart Cards, FPSLIC, and various other logic chips. She has worked on technologies ranging from 5 microns down to 0.13 microns and from simple NMOS process to complex FLASH and TFT( thin film transistors) processes. Ms. Pathak has built and managed professional teams who have successfully defined and manufactured new products and technologies. Her teams have consisted of offsite engineers in Europe and several locations in United States, and were responsible for all aspects of the semiconductor business including, product definition, marketing, software development, applications and customer support, product and technology design, testing, product engineering, failure analysis, and manufacturing. Ms. Pathak’s experience also includes negotiations with foundries and successfully bringing up a new technologies and product line in offshore foundries and design houses.
