Responsible for semiconductor equipment and process Technology transfer from Sematech to Infineon Technologies

Responsible for semiconductor equipment and process Technology Transfer from Sematech to Philips Semiconductors.

SSMC is a joint venture between NXP Semiconductors (Philips Semiconductors until 2006) and TSMC. I pioneered a greenfield wafer fab startup, merging equipment sets, fab operation procedures, and business processes from two mother fabs into one. This operation was established from scratch in one year, launching semiconductor wafer production in just 90 days and setting a world record through developing and executing a comprehensive project plan, coordinating resources 24/7.Initially, during the fab's design phase, I was responsible for the Photolithography and Etch departments. I later focused solely on the Etch department, recruiting, training, and mentoring 3 section managers and 35 engineers.• Transferred equipment, processes, and procedures from Philips' motherfab in The Netherlands and TSMC's motherfab in Taiwan to the fab in Singapore.• Developed equipment and process characterization procedures, coordinating the characterization before the transfer.• Managed process development to merge two different toolsets, conducting experiments in the USA, The Netherlands, and Taiwan, and successfully merged processes on the next-generation toolset.• Merged the business processes and fab operations procedures from the two mother fabs into a single, consistent set of rules.• Transferred 0.25-micron, 0.22-micron, 0.18-micron, and 0.15-micron CMOS processes and process options from the mother fabs in The Netherlands and Taiwan.• Served as the equipment supplier account manager for Lam Research and Applied Materials, managing the process and equipment support teams and overseeing the equipment suppliers' equipment improvement roadmap.As the Technology Transfer Manager, I successfully transferred the 0.18-micron process family to other Philips fabs.
