Job

Description :
The Semiconductor Process Engineer –

CMP Focus will be responsible for sustaining and developing semiconductor planarization

processes and associated equipment for glass, sapphire, compound

semiconductor and silicon-based wafer processing. This individual will be responsible for

support of chemi-mechanical polishing (CMP) and wafer scrubbing processes

within the Ostendo Nanotechnology Lab. He or she will work closely with the

Planarization Module Engineer to improve planarization of oxide, nitride,

metal, and semiconductor surfaces in support of the demonstration of the

Ostendo’s innovative microdisplay development.

This engineer must understand state-of-the-art

polishing and wafer cleaning tools, consumables, chemistries, and metrology

methods; be able to apply them to novel surfaces and structures; and work

closely with the team’s engineers and technicians to ensure successful

downstream processing and ultimately high device yield. This position includes sustained hands-on

development and process characterization responsibilities in the clean room

processing environment. The successful

candidate will be an essential team member and bring novel semiconductor

photonic technology designs from early R&D stages through to production

and application.

Skills /Experience

Requirements:
·

Minimum five years experience of

semiconductor wafer processing with an emphasis on CMP and other

planarization techniques

·

Understand the behavior of CMP

slurries and pads/consumables is critical

·

Experience with grinding and lapping

media, tools, and processes is beneficial

·

Have extensive expertise in metrology

tools that are related to planarization processes, including but not limited

to wafer shape measurement tools, thin film measurement tools, electron

microscopes with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, and atomic force

microscopes

·

Understand planarization tools and be

able to identify and mitigate sources of tool/process drift

·

Understand wafer scrubbing and

cleaning tools and technologies and the influence the chemicals and tools

have on materials processed at semiconductor lab.

·

Be familiar with DOE design, data

interpretation, statistical process control, and yield improvement methods

·

Be able to develop new processes

independently, as well as in collaboration with other engineers and

technicians

·

Strong English verbal, written, and

electronic communication skills

·

Strong computer skills, including

office software and data analysis software

·

This role requires the candidate to

occasionally lift up to 100 lbs
