TL;DR · Process Technician IV

As a Process Technician 4 within the Global Products Group, you will support process development, product development, and research and development for etch and deposition products. You will work closely with Process Engineers to prepare wafer fabrication equipment for tests, perform experimental setups, and collect data on thin film, critical dimension, and wafer disposition performance. Your daily responsibilities include operating advanced tools using specific recipes, processing test runs, and creating records, charts, and schematics to identify yield optimization areas. You will also provide technical assistance and troubleshoot application lab tools. This role requires expertise in semiconductor manufacturing processes within a cleanroom environment while utilizing personal protective equipment. Candidates should possess an associate degree or higher in fields like electronics, chemistry, or mechanics, along with the ability to work a shift schedule.

What you'll do

  • Support process engineers with wafer fabrication equipment setup, data collection, and sample submissions.
  • Operate advanced processing tools using specific recipes to collect experimental results.
  • Capture measurements for thin film, critical dimension (CD), and wafer disposition performance.
  • Analyze chemistry properties and other technical metrics during test runs.
  • Create records, charts, and schematics of results to identify yield optimization areas.
  • Provide technical assistance to process development teams and engineers.
  • Troubleshoot and improve application lab tools and experimental setups.

What we're looking for

  • 4-6 years of related experience.
  • Associate degree, Technical Certificate, or Diploma in semiconductors, electronics, chemistry, mechanical, or a related field.
  • Ability to work in a clean room environment while wearing personal protective equipment and a cleanroom suit.
  • Foundational communication skills in English, including reading and writing.
  • Ability to work a shift schedule.
