Naga Chandrasekaran received the Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, in 2001, under the able tutelage of Prof. Komanduri.,He started his career at Mictron Technology, Inc., as a R&D CMP Development Engineer. From 2001 to 2004, his work spanned a wide range of CMP projects and, in particular, helped improve scratch generation understanding and subsequently reduce STI CMP defects. Over the last six years, he has worked in different process areas including CMP, CVD, diffusion, PVD, and implant and lead several of these teams to assist in R&D of advanced memory devices. Currently, he is working as the Process and Equipment Engineering Manager in IM FLASH Technology, an Intel-Micron joint venture in manufacturing NAND memory devices

Back in 2014, the European Union fined all the big cabling companies for collusion. And I read through those documents. And they would go around the world and stay at hotels and talk together, and they basically say, ‘Okay, you Europeans, you stay in your market, and we Asians will go in our market.’ And if they got a request for proposals, then they would let each other know and make sure that the right bidder won the contract.

They've been fined, and today, they would say that's all in the past and I think if you look, there's no evidence that it's still going on. But if you look at it, there's kind of no reason to continue colluding; there is so much demand and constricted supply. One of the CEOs I spoke to for the story, I asked him, ‘what do you think of the competition?’ And he said to me, ‘everyone is behaving.’ So if everyone is behaving, everyone is trying to keep prices at a good level for everyone else, there's not so much expansion of supply, then there really wouldn't be a need to collude, even if they wanted to take that risk again.
