Gotkis Yehiel Gotkis Consulting, 13 Cliffside ct., Belmont, San Francisco Bay Area, CA 94002, USA, e-mail: gotkis_y@yahoo.com Dr. Yehiel Gotkis is a recognized highly competent chemist, physicist and world class semiconductor technologist with extended experience in advanced sectors of semiconductor industry including production line at Intel FAB8. <...> His background is in Chemistry, Physics, Material science, SC technology and Chemical Engineering. <...> Y. Gotkis earned his M.Sc. (ХТВМиП) in 1970 and PhD in Physical Chemistry in 1975, both from ISUCT (ИХТИ, that time). <...> In Israel he worked for Hebrew University of Jerusalem (1981-1984, Dept. of Physical Chemistry) and in 1994 started his career in industry at Intel Corp. In 1997 he was hired by an US company (IPEC, which became later Novellus Corp. and then Lam Research Corp.) and moved to US where he worked for the major chip fabrication equipment providers (Lam Research Corp. and KLA-Tencor Corp., both in Silicon Valley, California), leading SC process R&D. Dr. Y. Gotkis has numerous (140+) granted patents, and publications (50+) in major academic and industrial journals and invited talks and presentations at major professional forums. <...> SOME QUICK NOTES ABOUT SEMICONDUCTOR CHIPS FABRICATION: MOOR’S LAWS, INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGY ROADMAP FOR SEMICONDUCTORS (ITRS) AND MAJOR CHALLENGES IN THE STATE-OF-THE ART INTEGRATED CIRCUIT (IC) FABRICATION Some general aspects of the semiconductor chips fabrication, such as Moor’s law-1 and Moor’s law-2, ITRS roadmap, latest trends in the advanced product and fabrication technology R&D, and industry current challenges, like problems of fundamental scientific nature (structural: Poisson shot noise <...>
