The return SG I'm thinking of applying a job in the Pasir Ris Wafer Park - either UMC or SSMC. I would like to know how is working in 1) UMC like? Is the working environment there good? How about the people there? 2) SSMC like? Is the working environment there good? How about the people there? Anyone who has worked there before could give some advice before I make my decision? Thanks a lot!
angel7030 SG Wafer??? ya, i like to eat wafer with swenson's ice cream. Wee! working there will be fun. Lots of wafer to eat...yeah!
Zelphon SG Top student ?? Seow boh... Now semicon heavily shortage of people... Many people leaving SSMC for greener pasture... U apply ... u will most prob get in.. Best if u have semicon background
The return SG Have you worked in UMC or SSMC before? Would like to know more about the work environment, the working at weekends.. and so on..?
uabigdog SG both are very tough... long working hours... 24 hr standby for everyday... may not able to claim OT... why don't try IMflash? can go to USA for training for 6 months!!!
urbanmonkey SG huh? like that it's not only ssmc ppl leaving lar? umc also got ppl leaving? chartered leh? btw, anyone has any idea which fab best to work in? in terms of $$$ and management style? i know all semicon fab is high-stress jobs...thinking of leaving my this service job and join back customer...
urbanmonkey SG btw, let's list down all the customer fabs that are in singapore..we have, 1 ) UMC (8" & 12" ) 2 ) SSMC (8" & 12" ) 3 ) HNS (??" ) 4 ) CSM (8" & 12" ) 5 ) Tech (??" ) 6 ) STMicro (5", 6" & 8" ) 7 ) HP (6" ) 8 ) Upcoming IMFlash (??" ) 9 ) Upcoming Qimonda (??" ) 10) ???
The return SG What do you mean by customer fabs? Any difference between fabs and customer fab? And what is 8" & 12" refering to?
venny SG customer fabs i nt sure, but i know 6”, 8”, 12” is referring to the technology behind it. ie: 150mm, 200mm and 300mm size wafers. bigger wafer better yields since u can cut more out of it.
uabigdog SG Qimonda & IMFlash are both 300mm fabs.. If u join Q, you can go to French for training... u go IMFlash, u can go USA... I heard from ppl saying both Taiwanese fabs UMC & SSMC are quite tough to survive... they are very demanding... HNS... heard they pay u OT automatically after 5pm... STM.... no comment.. Chrt.... no comment... Is anyone looking for a process engineer position???
venny SG MEEEE!!!!!! i went to the job fair at suntec yesterday, i only found qimonda n stmicro booth.... think maybe i apply for qimonda, they gave me a v gd impression. the stmicro booth, like empty empty, nothing de....
uabigdog SG my friend in Chartered is looking for a process engineer…. are you fresh graduate or with experience??? but sure u want to work in wafer fab??? very stress one and long working hours… sometimes no OT leh…
