Summary
Jiahao Yao is a materials and process engineer with eight years of hands-on experience in semiconductor thin-film processes, currently sponsoring CapOX and serving as CVD2-1 PE at TSMC’s Arizona fab. He combines deep process-control expertise (APC, SPC, ICCI, SiView, AI-EDA) with practical tool qualification—having qualified 70+ measurement tools and driven SOP changes that tripled FEARC film lifetime at his fab. A UC Berkeley M.Eng and M.E.T. alum, he pairs materials science rigor with business-minded problem solving and early-stage product experience from ventures in battery development, solar project analytics, and a hydrogel startup that filed a provisional patent. Known for digging into long-standing root causes, he treats complex fab challenges like desert rivers—bringing persistence, inventive automation, and cross-disciplinary collaboration to scale lab discoveries into production-ready solutions.
