Altum RF appoints Niels Kramer as MD
Kramer brings significant semiconductor process and RF/Microwave experience
Altum RF, a supplier of high-performance millimeter-wave to digital semiconductor solutions, has appointed Altum RF co-founder Niels Kramer as its managing director Europe and VP marketing.
Kramer brings more than 25 years of semiconductor process and RF and microwave semiconductor industry experience to Altum RF. Kramer’s industry background includes RF semiconductor process development, general management, project and product management, and strategic marketing.
Most recently with Macom as senior director integrated solutions, Kramer had the responsibility of developing a portfolio of RF ICs for high-performance applications. Prior to that, he served as department head of the MEMS & Micro Assembly Foundry at Philips, R&D and program manager for RF Products at NXP, and RF device engineer at Philips Semiconductors. He also held several engineering and management positions in 6-inch and 8-inch waferfabs.
“I look forward to continuing to work with Niels and benefitting from his expertise to help lead the growth of our company,” stated Greg Baker, CEO. “His deep technical knowledge coupled with considerable industry experience makes Niels ideal to closely collaborate with our customers, as well as design engineers, to help build our business in Europe and across the globe.”
Kramer holds an MSc and a PhD in Applied Physics from Twente University, The Netherlands.
Secure Your Hydrogen Supply
A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.
