May R. Morris is a dedicated professional in Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and Latch-Up (LU) Reliability Operations at Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI). With over a decade of experience as a test engineer at Maxim Integrated, May has honed her skills in ensuring the reliability and robustness of integrated circuits (ICs). Her role involves extensive testing and analysis to prevent failures caused by ESD and latch-up events, which are critical for maintaining the high standards of quality and reliability that ADI is known for.

May holds a Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering from Xavier University - Ateneo de Cagayan in the Philippines. Her academic background, combined with her practical experience, has equipped her with the skills necessary to excel in her field.

In her current role, May is responsible for designing and implementing reliability tests, analyzing failure mechanisms, and collaborating with design and manufacturing teams to integrate reliability into all stages of product development. Her contributions are vital in helping ADI deliver products that meet stringent reliability requirements, ensuring customer satisfaction and product longevity.

Outside of her professional life, May has a unique and endearing passion for chickens. She enjoys spending time with her feathered friends and proudly calls herself a "crazy chicken lady".

This quirky hobby adds a fun and personal touch to her otherwise technical and demanding career.

Mike Chaine works at Micron Technology, Inc., in Boise, Idaho, as a Section Manager in the R&D Reliability Group. He has a B.S.E.E. degree from Arizona State University and has worked at Micron since 1998. Today, he is leading the R&D Reliability Group in the area of ESD/LUP design and development, and has two engineers reporting to him. He is working in the area of On-Chip ESD protection design for all advanced DRAM and FLASH technologies. These responsibilities include ESD wafer and device level characterization analysis, ESD circuit failure analysis, and ESD design and layout rule development.

Mike has authored several papers on a variety of ESD areas ranging from ESD device test issues, ESD protection circuit analysis, and unique ESD circuit interaction phenomena. He holds more than 10 ESD patents and has several patents pending.

Mike chairs two different IC device work groups; Human Body Model (HBM) WG5.1 and Socketed Device Model (SDM) WG5.3.2.

After receiving his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Arizona, Mike went to work in the Manufacturing Engineering Department at Hughes Aircraft Co. in Tucson, AZ where he became involved in the ESD protection business almost immediately. Over the years, and after a couple of purchases and mergers, his company is now known as Raytheon Technologies and Mike remains as the ESD site coordinator as well as the chair of Raytheon’s Corporate ESD Council. Mike has now been a participant in the progression and maturity of the ESD program both in Tucson, and at Raytheon, for several decades.

Mike believes that by becoming a Professional ESD Program Manager, it shows both a personal and Company commitment to maintaining a focus on ESD as a major concern in the defense and aerospace industry.

Outside of work, Mike spends time with his wife and their two French Bulldogs and enjoys hunting, fishing, running, weightlifting, and building/modifying high performance cars.
