ART has
conducted executive searches
in the Semiconductor,
Electronic Components and
Contract Electronics Sectors
since our founding in 1987.
Over the years, our searches
in the Semiconductor,
Electronic Components and
Contract Electronics Sectors
have embraced a wide range of
technologies, products, and
services. In fact, our firm's
name, Atlantic Research
Technologies - unusual
sounding for an executive
search firm - derives
from our original focus on
recruiting top R&D
scientists and engineers in
the advanced electronics and
semiconductor materials
technologies.
Many
of our candidates were the
builders of technologies that
today are fundamental to most
of the high tech products used
and enjoyed today. ART still
recruits industry leaders and
tomorrow's leaders in these
key sectors in General
Management, Sales and
Marketing, Finance, Supply
Chain and Manufacturing
Operations and Technology. Our
work in this recruitment
practice involves the
recruitment of managers
for the semiconductor,
electronic components, pcb,
electromechanical components,
and semiconductor capital
equipment markets
In the
Contract Electronics
Manufacturing Sector we
recruit in all field of
management globally.
ART
primarily recruits at the
upper- and middle-management
levels in the Semiconductor,
Electronic Components and
Contract Electronics Sectors.
Our focus in this sector is on
recruitment for General
Management, Sales and
Marketing, Business
Development, Finance, Supply
Chain, Operations,
Engineering, R&D, IT,
Human Resources, and Legal
Administration. Our
work typically involves
recruitment for CEO, COO, CFO,
CIO, CTO, CMO, CSO, CPO,
President, General Manager,
Managing Director, Country
Manager, VP, Director, or
other Manager titles.

We
recruit in the Semiconductor
Sector and in the Electronic
Manufacturing Services
Sector across all world
regions, at the national,
regional and global levels.
Our Recruitment in the Semiconductor & Electronic Components Sectors1. Semiconductors Sub-Category | Description and Examples |
|---|
Intrinsic Semiconductors | Pure, undoped materials with equal electrons and holes; low conductivity at room temperature. Examples: Silicon (Si) wafers, Germanium (Ge) crystals, pure Gallium Arsenide (GaAs). | Extrinsic Semiconductors | Doped for enhanced conductivity; divided by majority charge carriers. Examples: N-type (phosphorus-doped Si), P-type (boron-doped Si), compensated (both dopants). | Elemental Semiconductors | Single-element from Group IV; stable and abundant. Examples: Silicon (for ICs), Germanium (for detectors), Tin (gray tin for research). | Compound Semiconductors | Multi-element alloys for specialized properties (e.g., optoelectronics). Examples: III-V (GaAs for LEDs, InP for lasers), II-VI (ZnSe for blue LEDs, CdTe for solar cells), IV-IV (SiC for power devices). | By Band Gap | Categorized by energy gap for application fit. Examples: Narrow (<1 eV, e.g., InSb for IR), Direct (GaAs for light emission), Wide (>2 eV, e.g., SiC for high-power). |
2. Non-Semiconductor Electronic Components(Passive or electromechanical parts that support circuits without active signal control) Sub-Category | Description and Examples |
|---|
Passive Components | Store or dissipate energy without amplification. Examples: Resistors (carbon film, SMD), Capacitors (ceramic MLCC, electrolytic), Inductors (ferrite core, wire-wound). | Electromechanical Components | Convert electrical to mechanical energy. Examples: Relays (electromagnetic, solid-state), Switches (toggle, reed), Connectors (USB, pin headers). | Electromagnetic Components | Manage magnetic fields or RF signals. Examples: Transformers (power, audio), Coils (chokes, solenoids), Antennas (PCB trace, dipole). | Optical and Display Components | Handle light without semiconductor action. Examples: LEDs (non-semicon variants rare, but filters/lenses), LCD panels, Optical fibers (glass-based). | Power and Protection Components | Manage voltage/current without active switching. Examples: Fuses (blade, resettable), Varistors (MOVs), Thermistors (NTC/PTC for sensing). |
3. Semiconductor Materials(Raw inputs for fabrication; divided by composition and process role) Sub-Category | Description and Examples |
|---|
Substrate Materials | Base wafers for device growth. Examples: Silicon ingots (CZ/FZ methods), Silicon Carbide (SiC boules), Gallium Nitride (GaN on SiC). | Dopants and Impurities | Add charge carriers (N/P-type). Examples: Boron (P-type), Phosphorus/Arsenic (N-type), Antimony (high-temp doping). | Dielectric and Insulating Materials | For isolation layers. Examples: Silicon Dioxide (SiO2 thermal oxide), Silicon Nitride (Si3N4 PECVD), Hafnium Oxide (HfO2 high-k). | Photoresists and Lithography Materials | For patterning. Examples: ArF immersion resists (KrF/ArF), EUV resists (metal-organic), Anti-reflective coatings (BARC). | Packaging Materials | For assembly/protection. Examples: Lead frames (copper alloy), Bonding wires (gold/palladium), Encapsulants (epoxy molding compounds). |
4. Semiconductor Equipment(Tools for manufacturing; front-end for wafer processing, back-end for assembly Sub-Category | Description and Examples |
|---|
Wafer Fabrication (Front-End) | Core processing tools. Examples: Lithography, Etch (plasma etchers), Deposition (CVD/PVD). | Metrology and Inspection | Quality control and defect detection. Examples: Optical inspection (broadband plasma), CD-SEM (metrology), XRD analyzers. | Ion Implantation and Doping | For introducing impurities. Examples: High-current implanters, Medium-current, Low-energy. | Assembly and Packaging (Back-End) | For die handling and encapsulation. Examples: Die bonders, Wire bonders , Test handlers. | Test and Enabling Equipment | Validation and support. Examples: Automated test equipment (ATE), Cleanroom tools (gas delivery, vacuum pumps), Yield management software. |
Our Recruitment in the Electronics Manufacturing/ Contract Manufacturing Sector
