Stephen Brooks
(November 7, 2007) RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. Nextreme appointed Stephen Brooks as director of manufacturing, citing prior experience with ramping technologies from introduction to volume manufacturing.
Brooks will coordinate Nextreme's move into a 14,000-sq.ft. facility, and will direct implementation of a scalable, repeatable volume manufacturing schema for its thermal copper pillar bump technology. Brooks offers more than 24 years experience in planning, establishing, and managing transition from R&D to volume manufacturing. As director of operations at Amkor Technology, Brooks led the company's ramp up to multimillion unit production/month flip-chip solder bumping, over a one-year period. He also held posts with JDS Uniphase (formerly Cronos Integrated Microsystems), and Mitsubishi Semiconductor's N.C. and Japan locations. He has overseen ISO 9001- and TL 9000-certified facilities in SMT, IC, wafer, MEMS, chip-scale package (CSP), and die-level production.
