Job Description
Development Engineer capable of developing Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) processes to meet the needs of next generation semiconductor and advanced interconnect packaging devices. Defines and implements processes related to e-test, film thickness and layer performance criteria for production. Collaborate with diverse teams to setup planar processes meeting integration needs. Technical owner of consumable and slurry characterization data methodology, analysis techniques, and recipe setup for quality control to optimize yield. Defines and implements Planar road maps, quality control (defects), failure analysis, and testing methodologies to meet customer demands.
In this role responsibilities include, although not limited to:
Development Engineers are responsible for leading process development research enabling manufacture of innovative device architectures coupled with the realization of these architectures.
They will design, execute, and analyze experiments necessary to meet design specifications for their process.
Participate in development of intellectual property and develop the equipment necessary to exploit the understanding gained in research (in collaboration with equipment suppliers).
Work effectively with the equipment supplier to identify shortcomings, propose and evaluate hardware modification to mitigate issues.
They will be expected to partner with area engineers, technicians, integration, Shift Group Leader (SGL), and management in order to enable develop commitments for their aligned tech node. On-call partnership is an expectation.
Work to gain in-depth knowledge of their materials, process, and equipment to meet quality, reliability, cost, yields, and product development timelines. Define High-Volume Manufacturing (HVM) transfer deliverables for their module.
Partner with Process Integrators to develop recipes for new product demands.
The ideal candidate should exhibit the following skills:
Consumable screening and initial Best-Known Method (BKM) creation.
Processing techniques, materials, and metrology relevant to CMP.
Knowledge of slurry and consumable cause and effect.
Willingness to work independently with limited direction, as well as in a team environment across functional and organizational boundaries is required.
Experience with material characterization techniques.
Development of novel process recipes.
Drive improvements on quality, reliability, cost, yield, process stability/capability, productivity and safety/ergonomic over variables such as material, method, equipment, environment and operating personnel.
Define and establish flow, procedures, and equipment configuration for the module.
Train production/receiving process engineers, engineering and manufacturing technicians for transfer to other factories.
Transfer process to high volume manufacturing and provide support in new factory startup as well as install and qualification of the new production lines.
Experience in data analysis and statistical process control.
Strong written and verbal communication. Ability to communicate well with all levels of the organization.
Detail oriented problem solver, sense of urgency and commitment to achieve targeted goals.
Demonstrated capability working in a high performing team culture which includes: excellent teamwork and leadership skills, demonstrated problem solving and prioritization skills, and participating in Continuous Improvements through applying LEAN principles.
Understanding of end point and Real Time Process Control (RTPC)/Full Vision desired.
Full time onsite required during training, estimated 6 months. After training: hybrid “work from home” to be defined by manager and employee but continued onsite will be required.
