Cong Trinh is a senior manager at Applied Materials with over a decade of experience translating materials chemistry and process innovation into production-scale semiconductor solutions. His career spans hands-on process development—from ALD/PEALD and PECVD tool/process optimization to introducing new thermal ALD and hybrid materials—through to program leadership and customer-facing problem solving. He holds a strong research foundation (PhD-level work on organic electronics with multiple patent disclosures) and a rare combination of lab-scale molecular design experience and factory-level yield improvement. Based in California, he routinely coordinates cross-functional teams to commercialize novel processes that cut costs and open new business opportunities. Notably, he has driven low-temperature plasma sources and production qualifications that balanced particle and metal performance for high-volume manufacturing. He describes himself as an enthusiast for technologies that improve human quality of life, with particular interests in semiconductors and health applications.
