Summary
Charles C is a seasoned semiconductor technology leader with over three decades of hands-on experience across process development, yield, device, and manufacturing for nodes spanning 0.8µm to 1nm. Currently Director and General Manager at Intel’s Logic Technology Development, he has driven volume ramps, fab transfers, and greenfield startups for CPUs, SoCs and memory at world-class metrics. His career includes leadership roles at TSMC, Applied Materials and PDF Solutions where he blended deep technical know-how with operational scale-up and customer engagement. A PhD-trained engineer with a proven track record in DTCO/DFM, metrology and defect analytics, he is as comfortable defining PDK and DR features as he is leading cross-functional organizations to manufacturing maturity. Not obvious from titles: he repeatedly bridges R&D and high-volume manufacturing, turning cutting-edge process innovations into reliable, cost-optimized production.
