Kauffman, Willard L.

Biographical Notes

Willard L. Kauffman joined Fairchild circa 1966 where, as head of the Transistors and Diodes section of the Device Development Department headed by J. Kabell, he worked on the application of planar processing techniques to fabricate to high voltage (>400 volts) power transistors and silicon controlled rectifiers (SCR). He joined Intel circa 1969 where he served as manufacturing manager and later as vice president and director of components quality and reliability under Craig Barrett at the time of the Japanese penetration of the U.S. memory market. He later served as COO of disk media company Komag, San Jose, California, prior to its acquisition by Western Digital in the late 1990s.
