    Jeff Pettinato, Vice President, Foundry Automation Strategy, Intel Corporation

    Jeff is responsible for Intel Foundry automation strategy for all manufacturing segments, which includes wafer fabrication, sort, die prep, advanced packaging, assembly, test, board, and substrate. This spans strategic programs intercepting Research, Technology Development, and High Volume Manufacturing. He also leads the Semiconductor Assembly and Test Automation Standards (SATAS) Research Program, which is an association of 28 industry, research, standards, and government collaborators working to transform manufacturing for flexible and efficient heterogeneous package integration.

    Previously, Jeff led an organization that developed and deployed factory automation and Automated Material Handling Systems (AMHS) solutions at Intel’s Technology Development (TD) factories for all manufacturing segments. These solutions are then deployed to all of Intel's High Volume Manufacturing (HVM) factories globally.

    Over his 35 year career in semiconductors, Jeff has held various R&D positions both as a senior technologist and organizational leader related to advanced factory automation systems with a focus on equipment control systems, process control systems, manufacturing execution systems, and factory wide AMHS that improve quality, manufacturing cost/efficiency and output predictability.

    Jeff has worked extensively with industry organizations and consortia including as SEMI, SEMATECH, and INEMI to define and drive industry level initiatives for 300mm wafer conversion and Smart Manufacturing. As leader of International SEMATECH’s I300I Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) working group, he collaborated closely with Japanese counterparts in J300 and SELETE to define control and data standards that are used in all 300mm equipment and factories today. Jeff chaired the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) Factory Integration chapter to define a 15 year industry roadmap of capabilities for factory and equipment automation, AMHS, Advanced Process Control, and other solutions. He is the author of multiple peer reviewed journal and conference papers on manufacturing systems and factory automation.
