Why we need PhD’s • Scientific and Technical Competence • Transferring non optimized processes from development sites to home site • Optimization including Process and Equipment development activities • Add Value to other Site Research Activities • Science discipline such as Physics, Applied Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science and Engineering disciplines such as Chemical, Electronic and Electrical Engineering. • Computer Science
Skills Sets • Maturity • Technology Savvy • Demonstrate commitment to task • Proven Research methodology • Results focussed - – commitment to task in a timely manner • Collaborative problem solving • Team work • Statistical Process Control (SPC) or Design of Experiments (DOE) principles
PhD Pipeline Program • PhD sponsorships • Knowledge and skills approach • Focussed areas of research – enterprise informed • Enterprise partnership model – increase number of Intel funded PhD scholars • Intel Mentorship • Annual Research Conference • Access to leading edge researchers • Internships
Advantages of Collaboration • Directly engaged in semiconductor industry relevant research • Exposure to industry norms – culture, technical focus, timelines, personnel.. • Choice of a career at Intel/Other Enterprise and/or Post doc in Academia • Participation at the Annual Intel European Research and Innovation Conf. • Access to our research collaborators • Opportunities to travel • At Collaborating Universities: • Intel staff are on-campus: talk to us anytime! • Quarterly student workshops
