STMicroelectronic and my precious 22 Weeks Industrial Attachment

Filed under: story

emoticonstupid me who thought that ST is stand for Singapore Technologiesemoticon luckily I should not have an interview to be accepted in this company, they will kick me out when I said that ST is stand for Singapore Technologies emoticon but the logo on the right remind me with something familiar… I don’t know what it is, anyone know?

OK, with a help from my trusted aunt, auntie wiki, I finally know where the ST come from… STMicroelectonic (STM) is a semiconductor company, the field that I want to take as my specialization in my final year. It produce Integrated circuits for specific applications, Memories (flash, eeprom), Microcontrollers, smartcards, analog circuits power ICs , etc.

The ST group was formed in June 1987 from the merger of two semiconductor companies: the Italian company SGS Microelettronica (Società Generale Semiconduttori) and the French company Thomson Semiconducteurs, the semiconductor arm of the French company, Thomson. In May 1998, the company changed its name from SGS-THOMSON to STMicroelectronics following the withdrawal of Thomson SA. emoticon now I know where ST comes from emoticon

But the fact that makes me shock is when I open this page Worldwide Top 20 Semiconductor Market Share Ranking Year by Year. Below is the table :
  1. Intel
  2. Samsung Semiconductors
  3. Texas Instruments
  4. Toshiba Semiconductors
  5. STMicroelectronics
  6. Infineon (spin-off from Siemens Semiconductors)
  7. Renesas (merger of Mitsubishi and Hitachi Semiconductors) N
  8. EC Semiconductors
  9. Philips Semiconductors
  10. Freescale (ex Motorola Semiconductors)
  11. Hynix
  12. Micron Technology
  13. Sony Semiconductors
  14. Matsushita Semiconductors
  15. AMD (1)
  16. Qualcomm (3) (fabless)
  17. Sharp Semiconductors
  18. Rohm
  19. IBM Microelectronics (2)
  20. Broadcom (3) (fabless)

emoticonCan you see it? STM in number 5 and Micron in number 12… I just have nothing to say…

My project title is : Metrology Recipe Set-up in PVD/CVD, It looks like I will work in "clean room". For those who have no idea what the clean room is, I will explain you nothing, just see the picture below, you will get the idea….

My worksuit during my precious 22 Week Industrial Attachement. Again, I have nothing to say…..

  3. hamid… selamat ya dapet STMicroelectronic
    kegagalan adalah keberhasilan yg tertunda……
    walau gak dapet M tapi dapet STMicro hehe…
    :D:D
    aku juga awalnya gak dapet project yg. aku incer di M.. tapi bersyukur ada kesempatan yg kedua kali sehingga aku diterima di M untuk project yg. laen yg gak kalah serunya. :D :D
