TL;DR · Photolithography Process Engineer

As a Photolithography Process Engineer within the Wireless Semiconductor Division, you will develop and sustain new and enabling unit processes for high volume Si MEMS production. Working with Technology Development and Equipment Engineering teams, you will establish robust equipment and processes through rigorous characterization and statistical validation. Your daily responsibilities include managing CD and overlay SPC charts, monitoring layer defects, and owning photo processes on ASML i-line steppers and high-topography exposure systems. You will utilize tools such as JMP, Minitab, Spotfire, and Excel/Access to perform data analysis and experimental design. Key technical requirements include expertise in photolithography, ASML PAS5500 equipment, and TEL_ACT8 deep track systems. You will solve complex problems involving new materials, thick resist processing, and silicon-based MEMS device applications.

What you'll do

  • Develop and characterize robust photolithography solutions to meet R&D needs for Si MEMS technologies.
  • Manage CD and overlay SPC charts while monitoring layer defects for high-volume manufacturing lines.
  • Own photo processes on ASML i-line steppers and high-topography exposure systems.
  • Implement yield, quality, and cost improvements to existing unit processes to ensure consistent results.
  • Perform experimental design and data analysis to support process development and line sustaining work.
  • Identify and resolve yield and defect issues while communicating results clearly across the organization.
  • Establish project objectives, schedules, and resource profiles for long-term improvement projects.
  • Implement monitoring methodologies like SPC and FDC to detect equipment performance excursions early.

What we're looking for

  • BS in EE, ME, ChE, Materials Science, Physics, or Chemistry with 8+ years of related experience.
  • MS in EE, ME, ChE, Materials Science, Physics, or Chemistry with 6+ years of related experience.
  • PhD in EE, ME, ChE, Materials Science, Physics, or Chemistry with 3+ years of related experience.
  • Expertise in photolithography and engineering fundamentals for all areas of fab processing.
  • Proficiency in a wide variety of photolithography tools and deep experience with ASML equipment (PAS5500) and i-line steppers.
  • Mature data analysis skills using tools such as JMP, Minitab, Spotfire, and Excel/Access.
  • Experience with TEL_ACT8 and PAS5500 equipment is highly desirable (preferred).
  • Experience with WLP, TSVs, thick resist processing, FDC systems, CE!, HPM, TPS, and Lean is desirable (preferred).
