Sematech's New President Looks for Increased Collaboration

摘要

Daniel Armbrust has been appointed president and CEO of Sematech, succeeding Michael Polcari, who is now that industry organization's chairman of the board. In this month's podcast interview, Armbrust, who was most recently responsible for the operation of IBM's 300 mm fab in East Fishkill, N.Y., discusses his plans for Sematech, R&D funding, and the need for closer cooperation among semiconductor industry organizations. "As an industry, we are underfunded in the effort to keep up the necessary scaling," he said. "We must use our dollars wisely and that means closer and more innovative cooperation."
