He then received a Ph.d in Solid State Physics from the same institution in 1987 for his experimental study of the valence band structure of 3d transition metal alloys using Photoelectron Spectroscopy. Sean has worked for over 25 years in the Semiconductor Industry and has held a number of senior positions in Product Engineering, New Product Introduction (NPI), Process Engineering and Quality Management. He has spent the majority of his career at major multinationals Intel, AMD and most recently Xilinx. In 2010 Sean founded First Silicon Ltd, an Irish consultancy and training company offering manufacturing expertise and support to fabless chip companies and semiconductor start-ups, enabling them to cost-effectively manage their critical early-stage operational issues.
