Hyunchol Cho is a Staff Process Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience developing ALD and PECVD processes for advanced memory and foundry devices. He has driven metal and high-k dielectric process development across SK hynix, Eugenus, Lam Research and now Samsung, notably leading 2nm foundry metal work and VNAND/DRAM SiO2 gap-fill solutions. His expertise spans TiN/TiSiN electrodes, HfO2 for HKMG, and productivity improvements across ALD oxide product lines, pairing deep materials chemistry knowledge with manufacturing-focused optimization. Trained with a PhD in Applied Chemistry from Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, he brings a research mindset to scalable fab process implementation. Based in West Linn, Oregon, he blends cross-company fab experience with academic rigor to solve integration challenges at the device and process intersection. A less obvious strength is his track record of shifting between research-driven dielectric innovation and high-throughput productivity projects, enabling both new material integration and yield improvements.
