| Educational and professional background |
|
| Worley holds an MSEE from the University of California at Berkeley.
He has worked in the area of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) for the last
several years at Conexant/Rockwell and held the position of distinguished
engineer. His activities have included defining ESD test chips down to
0.09µm, characterizing ESD test structures, designing ESD networks,
supervising FA of parts that fail an ESD or latch-up specification, defining
solutions for parts that fail ESD, and working with design engineers to
pre-empt ESD problems. Patents include new |
 |
| ballasting methods for MOSFETs, a method
of sharing power bus clamps among many isolated power domains; diode optimization
for RF and high speed circuits; cross power domain architectures; and
bipolar transient bus clamps. At present Worley is an independent ESD
consultant and has teamed up with Chronicle Technology of Irvine to develop
ESD test chips and perform test chip evaluation for the IC industry. |

| Personal information, interests, and hobbies |
| Worley is married with two children who are both in
patent law. His main relaxation hobbies are gardening and working on house
projects. |

| Benefits of being an ESDA volunteer |

Worley
credits the best aspect of working as a volunteer for the ESDA as “the
great bunch of people I get to work with. Also, ESD is constantly creating
new challenges and being active in ESDA working groups and the Technical
Program Committee (TPC) allows me to learn about the issues and solutions
to problems first-hand. Interesting discussions with fellow colleges
is commonplace at these meetings. I would highly recommend anyone who
is curious and loves problem solving to get involved with the issues
confronting the working groups. It is also gratifying to see your work
appear in documents distributed throughout the industry. Working on
the [EOS/ESD Symposium] TPC is to be part of one of the best symposiums
in industry.” |
