Stone Hou is an experienced PVD and electroplating process engineer with 11+ years at SMIC specializing in 300mm BEOL barrier/seed sputtering and copper plating process development, qualification and mass production. He has a track record of lifting tool throughput (WPH +15%), introducing domestic targets into first-class fab production, and cutting defects and costs through DOE, SPC and bespoke monitoring parameter systems. Comfortable bridging engineering and IT, he has developed process-timing monitors and automated data analysis using JMP, R, VBA and SQL to prevent yield losses and save substantial annual expenses. A materials master’s graduate who also codes, Stone blends deep thin-film physics with practical automation and data-driven process controls—often self-teaching scripts and tools that amplify measurement accuracy and operational efficiency.
