What you will be working on:
- Collaborate on R&D projects to develop and optimize semiconductor processes such as oxidation, annealing, curing, ALD, PEALD, Epitaxy, and PECVD.
- Design and execute complex experiments using methodologies like Design of Experiments (DOE) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM).
- Conduct advanced materials characterization using techniques like XPS, SIMS, TEM, and XRD to ensure process efficiency and innovation.
- Troubleshoot equipment issues and actively engage in hands-on problem-solving.
- Partner with customers and marketing teams to translate requirements into effective process solutions.
- Publish technical findings, generate Intellectual Property (IP), and present innovations to professional audiences.
- Facilitate process transfer by conducting customer demonstrations, providing training, and preparing detailed documentation.
What we are looking for:
- PhD in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related field.
- 0–7 years of combined education, research, or work experience with thin film deposition processes (e.g., ALD, PECVD, Epitaxy).
- Expertise in materials characterization techniques, such as XPS, SIMS, XRD, TEM, and SEM.
- Familiarity with electrical characterization techniques for CMOS devices.
What sets you apart:
- Experience in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) theory or application.
- Background in integrating dielectric and metal films into advanced device technologies.
- Strong analytical skills and a creative approach to problem-solving.
- Proven ability to manage complex R&D projects, including scheduling and budgeting.
