Mr. Victor Sidorov – letter of recommendation
Victor Sidorov has been working under my supervision during Sep. 1996 - Jul. 2004 as a
senior device engineer. Our group of Electrical Engineering Faculty works in the field of
microwave and photonic discrete devices and circuits based on III-V semiconductors (mainly
indium phosphide).He developed a complex fabrication process of indium phosphide based
transistors, phototransistors, and photodetectors, and achieved state of the art results in this
demanding field of microwave transistors and photonic devices. At that moment the
achievement of our group was HBT with F
T
and F
max
of about 350 GHz.
Mr. Sidorov worked hard to develop electronic circuits with an ever-increased yield. He
successfully introduced various process modifications, which rendered our process much
more controllable and stable. Mr. Sidorov incorporated novel approaches and ideas into our
process flow; based on his profound understanding of the crystalline structure of
semiconductors. He invented several novel non-destructive methods of in-lines inspection
and control.
On top of his routine task, Mr. Sidorov initiated and supervised several graduate student
projects in collaboration with the Chemical Engineering Faculty on non-planar device
surface passivation. His excellent background in physics and chemistry was of much help
here. The results of this research were reported in numerous publications, conference
presentations, and thesis reports.
An additional task Mr. Sidorov performed with much success in supervision and
coordinating the activity in one of our university clean room modules. The relationship
between engineers working in these crowded conditions improved considerably since Mr.
Sidorov took charge, and the equipment runs in a much more stable manner. The various
fabrication processes are more stable and repeatable, as a direct result of the work practices
he has introduced.
Mr. Sidorov is highly responsible, disciplined, persistent, and very friendly. He is an
experienced engineer as well as a researcher capable of doing original work. He is certainly
capable of leading complex projects and fairly large teams. He learns quickly, and constantly
makes progress advancing the level of his knowledge and skills.
It is my pleasure to recommend Mr. Victor Sidorov for any challenging position he may
apply for. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information.
Sincerely
Dan Ritter

Mr. Victor Sidorov – letter of recommendation
Victor Sidorov has been collaborating with Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS)
research group Technion Electrical Engineering Faculty under my supervision as well as
consulting BlueBird Optical MEMS Inc. start-up that I had been heading (Founder and
President (CEO), Chief scientist) during 1996 - 2005.
This collaborating based on deep knowledge he brought from MEMS industry and high
competence and ability as researcher and scientist.
BlueBird Optical MEMS Inc. had provided an activity in field of MEMS and MOEMS for
optical fiber communication and RF applications.
V. Sidorov improved his professional level continuously. During the time period he
completed both industrial courses (at OZ Optics, Ottawa, Canada) as well as academic ones
(Technion).
I would also like to acknowledge the activity of V. Sidorov in Kidron Microelectronics
Research Center: dry etching process development and fine calibration, sophisticated metals
and dielectric coatings and their combinations, high-quality lithography equipment utilization
are only few examples of his skill.
I would recommend Mr. Sidorov as highly professional, competent, responsible, disciplined,
and friendly project manager, engineer, and researcher with ability to work hard and fruitful
in team as well as independent.
In summary, Mr. Sidorov will be an asset to any research, industrial or educational
organization.
