Dr. Srishti Chugh

Staff Process Engineer, Kepler Computing Inc.
IEEE Senior Member

 


Dr. Srishti Chugh is a semiconductor process engineering professional and researcher with over a decade of experience in atomic layer deposition (ALD), advanced thin-film materials, semiconductor process integration, and high-volume manufacturing. She currently serves as a Staff Process Engineer at Kepler Computing Inc., focusing on the development and optimization of advanced thin-film deposition processes for semiconductor applications.

Her professional and research experience spans the semiconductor industry, national laboratories, and academic institutions, with previous positions at Eugenus Inc., Oxford Instruments, and CSIR–National Physical Laboratory. Her technical contributions include the development of 300 mm ALD processes for titanium silicon nitride (TiSiN), optimization of conformal thin-film deposition in high-aspect-ratio structures, and process qualification and technology transfer for advanced semiconductor manufacturing.

Dr. Chugh is a named inventor on two issued U.S. patents related to titanium nitride-based thin films and deposition methods. Her research has been published in internationally recognized peer-reviewed journals, including ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Journal of Materials Chemistry C, and Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology. Her research on graphene-based hybrid electronic materials was also selected for the cover of ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.

She earned her Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Texas at El Paso. An IEEE Senior Member and IOP Trusted Reviewer, Dr. Chugh contributes to scientific peer review in semiconductor processing, thin-film technologies, and electronic materials.
