Ehrenfried Zschech is working in the Fraunhofer
Institute for Non-Destructive Testing (IZFP), as of year
2009.
He was previously Senior Manager of the Center for
Complex Analysis at Globalfoundries in Dresden, Germany.
Globalfoundries was founded in 2009, taking over the manufacturing
plants of AMD, which Professor Zschech joined in 1997. His
responsibilities included the analytical support for process
control and technology development, as well as physical failure
analysis.
He received his diploma degree in solid-state physics and his Dr.
rer. nat. degree from Dresden University of Technology.
After having spent four years as a project leader in the field of
metal physics and reliability of microelectronics interconnects at
the Research Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals in Freiberg, he was
appointed as a university teacher for ceramic materials at Freiberg
University of Technology. In 1992, he joined the development
department at Airbus in Bremen. There he managed the metal physics
group and worked on laser joining metallurgy of light
metals. His current research interests are in the areas of
thin film materials compatibility, structure and materials
characterization and physical failure analysis in integrated
circuit applications.
He has published three books and more than 100 papers in
scientific journals in the areas of solid-state physics and
materials science.
He is honorary professor for nanomaterials at the Brandenburg
University of Technology in Cottbus, Germany.
Professor Dr. Zschech has been a member of the CEI-Europe
faculty since 2009.
