Power devices & high-voltage ICs, sensors in Europe
DR. PARK, Jong mun
ams AG
Dr. Jong Mun Park is a “President of Korean Scientist Association of Austria” and “Chair of KIAT K-TAG Europe”, and served as a “2015/2016/2017 EU Eurostars2 IEP (Independent Evaluation Panel) member”. He is a Principal Engineer in the R&D Department of ams AG since 2003. Jong Mun received his Ph.D. from Vienna University of Technology in 2004. From 1988-2001 he worked at the Power Semiconductor Group, KERI, where he had been involved in many national projects for developing high-voltage (HV) and power semiconductor devices. Dr. Park holds over 25 national/international patents and co-authored over 120 publications in technical journals and a book. In 2009-2011 he was in the IRPS Technical Committee and co-chair in the HV/RF session. Dr. Park was a member of ESSDERC2015 technical committee. He was also involved as work-package/task leader in several European projects like MODERN and SUPERTHEME. From 2006-2009 he was a leader of TCAD/Device engineering team within ams/IBM joint project for developing high-voltage IC technology, where he developed the industry best HV p-channel LDMOS transistors. His interests include device engineering/optimization/ TCAD works for HV CMOS, optics and CMOS integration, hot-carrier reliability, HV CMOS integration, industry & medical sensors, optics & photodiode integration, 3D sensor integration.
