Aimee B. Price

Aimee Bross Price joined Ohio State in 2005 as a Senior Research Associate responsible for electron beam lithography (EBL). She has been with the Institute for Materials and Manufacturing Research (IMR) since its inception, moving along with the EBL system to Nanotech West Lab in 2008. Aimee serves as the primary contact for process development support for both new and established Nanotech West cleanroom users. She has extensive experience in semiconductor device fabrication, nanofabrication, process development, and process design and troubleshooting. As a member of IMR’s Technical Staff, Aimee applies creative, simple solutions to fabrication projects. She is passionate about training the next generation of technology experts and believes that encouraging and motivating K-12 students is crucial for continued growth in the field (and it is really fun). Aimee’s main tool responsibilities are the Raith/Vistec EBPG5000 EBL tool, Zeiss Ultra Plus Field Emission SEM, and the PicoSun Atomic Layer Deposition system.

Aimee also serves as co-founder and president of MAEBL Inc, a not for profit corporation focused on building and enhancing the EBL community. MAEBL hosts the Meeting for Advanced Electron Beam Lithography each spring in various US academic sites.

Prior to her arrival at OSU, Aimee spent five years at TriQuint Semiconductor (now Qorvo) in Dallas, Texas, where she was a member of the EBL group in the Process Engineering Department. Her responsibilities included yield enhancement, process development, and manufacturing support. For her work on 0.25um pHEMT yield improvement, she received the TriQuint President’s Award, the highest award given at the company.

She holds a B.S. in Chemistry from The Pennsylvania State University, where she did surface chemistry research with the research groups of Paul Weiss and David Allara. She is currently working on an M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Ohio State in the Steven Ringel and Tyler Grassman research groups.
