Michaël Fievre

Michaël FIEVRE is Vice President in charge of SOI operations in France, reporting to Soitec's COO. He joined Soitec in 2003. He has held various positions related to new product industrialization and operations. He started out as an engineer and project manager in the process and industrial engineering department. These early experiences were a good introduction to a position as Process Integration Manager, responsible for the rapid ramp-up of wafer fabrication activities for RF devices such as 150 mm bonded silicon on sapphire (BSOS) and 200 and 300 mm silicon on insulator (SOI eSI). On the operations side, he headed the yield and process control department and came to appreciate the importance of data quality and availability. Then, as head of the process department, he had the opportunity to improve OEE through the real-time use of data by all users, whether operators or engineers. Finally, as manager of the SOI 200mm / 300mm FABs, he deploys a comprehensive approach to Industry 4.0, dealing not only with quality, and OEE but also sustainability. Michaël holds a master's degree in physics from Phelma (INPG Grenoble) and a doctorate in microelectronics from CEA Grenoble and Université Grenoble Alpes.Co-presenter: Jerome SCHWARTZMANN is Senior Director in charge of Industrial Strategy reporting to Soitec’s COO.
