Advanced Fab Technology (AFT) Team

We are a team with 30-year experience to help waferfabs achieve mastery in semiconductor chip manufacturing by the systematic application of a disciplined methodology based on our unique know-how of science, engineering, and technology available today for effective execution by our team. This team is led by Patrick Cyril Fernandez. 

We are an embedded consulting company that helps waferfabs gain mastery in chip manufacturing for financial success, specializing in New Fab Startups, Yield, Time-to-Market, Output and Cost. The AFT team has a successful track record of enabling fast technology transfer for yield and volume ramp up to equal or better the “mother” fab.  AFT has outperformed fab company's internal technology teams as well as our competition (see case studies).We are a quiet and unique company in depth and breadth, being the only one in the world who get electrical, inline and tool data for helping 31 waferfabs. Our ability is based on knowledge, methodology, and a proven team. The AFT team improves yield 3-10X faster than competitors. We have built process flows for 5 technology nodes at Texas Instruments, achieved 0 dppm for Bosch, written equipment purchase specifications, installed and released tools, and brought up new waferfabs and new technologies.
