Profile

Dr. Philip Tan Beow Yew received his B.Sc.(Hons) degree in Physics and M.Sc. degree in IC Design from University Putra Malaysia, and a Ph.D. degree in CMOS Device Characterization and Modeling from University Science Malaysia.

He has started to work in Silterra Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. foundry in the year 2000. He was promoted to Senior Manager of Device Modeling in 2016. He has more than 20 years of experience in extracting SPICE models for deep submicron CMOS transistors. He initiated the development of LogicHV Device Modeling Software Tools, called LEVERAGE to automate the device modeling works. This enables his group to perform all device modeling works using the in-house developed software tools. He has put together this book called "Device Modeling Notes" that serves as an essential guideline for new device modeling engineers. He has been the instructor for the Integrated Circuit Overview class for Silterra's new hires for more than 10 years.

Before involving in SPICE modeling works, he has spent a year On-Job-Training as a Process Integration Engineer at LSI Logic Corporation in Oregon, USA. He has given SPICE Modeling tutorial class in 2017 IEEE PrimeAsia conference and the 2007 IEEE Regional Symposium on Microelectronic (RSM) conference. He has published 35 international and national IEEE conference papers. He was invited as Keynote Speaker for the 2017 IEEE PrimeAsia conference, Kuala Lumpur. He was invited as the reviewer for IEEE Electron Device Letters and IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices journals. He was a Senior Member of the IEEE Electron Devices Society.
