Zhijie Sun, a Chemical Engineering Ph.D. student of Professor Joe Qin, was among the three students who received awards from the 2008 AEC/APC Symposium (Snowbird, Utah) hosted by International Sematech. He received Honorable Mention for his paper, "Adaptively Tuned Variable-Structure EWMA Control" coauthored by Sun and Qin. The other two awardees come from Berkeley and UT Austin.  

 

The Advanced Equipment Control/ Advanced Process Control (AEC/APC) Symposium provides a venue for the AEC/APC community—people dedicated to driving these capabilities into their factories—to regularly come together to share experiences, exchange ideas, and discuss the latest technology requirements in the ever-expanding arena of advanced equipment and process control.

 

Now in its 20th year, the three-day conference in North America typically features between 75 and 85 technical papers presented by university researchers, students, chipmakers, and suppliers from throughout the semiconductor industry.
