Description

This is Volume III in a series of notebooks recording the processing of wafer runs fabricated in the development of a lateral PNP transistor for use in IC designs. It contains a day-by-day, minute-by-minute log of activity, including the results of a visual microscope inspection of the condition of the surface and notes on additional processing to be applied to the material

Author

Chou, Sunlin

Biographical Notes

Sunlin Chou was born in Singapore and received B.S., M.S., and E.E. degrees from MIT in 1966, 1967, and 1968 respectively, all in electrical engineering. He joined Fairchild in 1968 where he worked on the development of a lateral PNP transistor and was involved in the set-up and operation of an ion implantation system while also earning a Ph.D. from Stanford University (1971). He moved to Intel Corporation in 1971, and worked on device modeling, memory design, and process development projects, before assuming responsibility for Intel’s DRAM process technology development effort. He was senior vice president and general manager of Intel’s Technology and Manufacturing Group when he retired in 2005. He was awarded the IEEE Robert Noyce Award in 2013.
