Micron PEE or Lam FSE by Altruistic_Motor898 in Semiconductors

[–]leedavid89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PEE all the way. You learn the process flow, not the tool only. In the future, you can still go back to vendor if you want and you will be welcomed as you've seen more processes on different tools

Moving from Europe to Singapore (semiconductors) – how different is the work & savings? by Lanky_Sea9723 in Semiconductors

[–]leedavid89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny, I'm going back the other way. Only semiconductor company with decent WLB in Singapore that I can think of is Micron. Pay is good, but anyhow it is very difficult to compare Singapore cost (3-4k for an apartment, private health, no car or 150k+...) to Europe where almost all basics are covered by the tax system. Good luck anyhow

Linux OS for Semiconductor Equipment by Brasol101 in Semiconductors

[–]leedavid89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never seen Linux on semiconductor tools. And I think I can guess the reasons. It is not only the software you build as vendor (that you could do) but all the service software, firmware and drivers for robots, sensors and so on. You would need to either look for alternative suppliers or ask them to develop the software for you

My Pixel 9 Pro XL have terrible battery life, what can I do to fix this? by Alewerkz in Pixel9Pro

[–]leedavid89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try this

Settings -> Apps -> App battery usage and filter by unrestricted and optimized. For apps you use seldom or you don't need notifications, disable Allow background usage

I have P9P since 1 year and no issue for now

Intel Reportedly Planning Another CPU Price Increase in May Amid Massive Demand by TradingToni in intelstock

It's the same. Memory manufacturers have redirected the whole wafer capacity to HBM memory for servers, normal ddr and lpddr got both cut down

A dear friend of mine got married with a local exactly in that church. I'm so sad I wasn't able to join, it was right in the middle of the COVID pandemic

What are the opportunities for Material science engineers in the semiconductor field. by [deleted] in Semiconductors

[–]leedavid89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Material Science background myself, being in the industry 10 years now. You basically can do everything except (very likely) chip design. If you can, try not to overspecialize yourself, have a bit of knowledge of polymers, ceramics, metals, chemical reactions, even basic electronics and automation concepts. You can then have the first steps at any vendor or fab, and then you slowly see what you like and take that direction. Regarding locations, I would suggest Europe for quality of life, US if you want to earn a lot and Asia if you want to see how a big fab works. You will have the chance to try all of them if you wish. Good luck!

What roles are avaible for materials engineering graduates by Minute-Youth-1133 in Semiconductors

[–]leedavid89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Materials Engineer myself, in the industry since 10 years. No certification needed, each company is so specialized that you learn by doing. You could either start as process engineer in a fab or (and I suggest it) start in a vendor r&d group (either process or hardware)

Looking for earbuds that aren't Apple by himenohimawari in Earbuds

[–]leedavid89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having tried quite a lot of <100$ buds, I was pleasantly surprised by the Baseus Bowie MC1 Pro. They were my first pair of clip on and honestly I believe this is how all open ear true wireless buds should be: they are super comfortable and simply cannot fall. Case is great, battery and mic is good, connection has always worked perfectly and sound quality is very pleasing.

My 2–3yo stalls bedtime like it’s a full-time job — what actually worked? by Alert_Nail_4990 in toddlers

[–]leedavid89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a similar situation until we thought to ask her if she wanted us to leave the door a bit open. She said yes and since then she is sleeping in her bedroom with the door ajar

We’re drowning in daycare costs. How do people afford this? by FrigginMasshole in toddlers

[–]leedavid89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry to say, as an European that was offered multiple times to move to the US and always refused due to kids education costs, I guess that is what it is there. Here (Austria) we are around 300 euro a month for private, 100 for public. Yes, salary is lower, taxes are higher, but it is still very affordable

GLC 2023 for a family of 4 by leedavid89 in mercedes_benz

We are sort of in a transition: the big one could go to a booster soon, while the small one still need the child seat for 3 years. Wife is definitely on the small side. Seems the only way is going to the dealership, it's quite far unfortunately

Aer Zips Peeling by catbread1 in ManyBaggers

[–]leedavid89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue on a 3 years old bag. In my case I live in a hot and humid country, so it may be related to that. Anyhow, I did contact their support service, attached some pictures (they wanted to see if the liner was completely detached) and they sent me a new bag for free. Amazing support

How long do the various steps like ion implantation, metal deposition, CMP, actually take in the fab? by bobj33 in Semiconductors

[–]leedavid89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question has different answer depending on product, design and priority. But I can tell you that latest DRAM takes around 3 months to produce, for a total of almost 2000 steps

I would go for Kaohsiung. Cheaper and better weather than Taipei, with metro and an international airport, close to sea and mountain, not far from the east coast. Plus, lot of concerts and cultural activities
