Time to Collaborate. SubFAB Research and Development.
Workshop by International SubFAB Research Labs Initiative (ISRL)
One of the key areas poised to become a showstopper for the industry’s ability to achieve sustainability goals is commonly called SubFAB. Existing infrastructure can’t support true game changing development of environmentally friendly and affordable solutions to match the manufacturing technologies advancement cadence.
International SubFAB Research Labs (ISRL) initiative will enable an industry-wide collaborative effort. Member companies will gain access to a dedicated facility with a complete infrastructure required to operate a set of 300mm process tools to enable a science based research focusing on reliability issues, technology validation, pathfinding, materials handling and reclaim.
Ilya Zabelinsky
International SubFAB Research Labs Initiative (ISRL)
Ilya Zabelinsky is a globally recognized technical leader with nearly 30 years of experience in vacuum and gas abatement applications for semiconductor manufacturing. Ilya joined Intel in 1996, contributing to the startup and commissioning of Israel’s first 200mm FAB. He emerged as an operational and technical leader across Intel SubFABs worldwide.
In 2022, Ilya embarked on a mission to “bring Science to SubFAB” and founded the International SubFAB Research Labs. Ilya holds a B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering and possesses broad knowledge and vast practical experience in semiconductor manufacturing processes, FAB equipment, central facilities, and infrastructure.
