Erik Nelson

Erik Nelson started working at IBM shortly after earning a B.S.Ch.E. degree from Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y. in 1982. He works on embedded DRAM macro development and product qualification for IBM Systems and Technology Group, Burlington, Vermont. His first 10 years with IBM focused on bipolar process and product development including SRAM characterization. In 1993 he joined the IBM Seimens Toshiba DRAM Development Alliance and contributed to the creation of 64 Mb and 256 Mb DRAMs by delivering functional characterization results. In 2000 he applied his knowledge of process development and memory characterization to IBM's embedded DRAM project and helped make that offering an integral part of IBM's ASIC portfolio. In 2007 he focused on development of embedded SOI DRAM so as to enable its inclusion on the 45 nm processor chips for IBM servers.
