Job Mission,
As Etch Unit Process Engineer within Imaging you will be a key player in making the performance of our imaging and patterning application products meet customer demands. You enable product definition, assessment, and optimization in close interaction with scanners, metrology and optimizer products.
Job Description,
Our customer makes semiconductor devices. To do so they need to produce the intended device structure on the wafer within acceptable variation over the entire manufacturing process. This requires keeping the contribution of all manufacturing tools, eg scanner, etcher, but also measurement metrology within acceptable limits by means of optimization products. You will support the development of optimization products including computational lithography and metrology from feasibility to final roll out to the customer. You will need to understand why and how patterning performance is important. You will use this knowledge to provide guidance on future product choices including predicting performance by means of sophisticated simulation tools and providing test description and analysis methods to assess the performance.
You will be part of a group of people, working together to lift their know how to new levels year after year, ensuring you are prepared for challenges ahead. You will contribute to roadmaps and competence management plans, but also be part of a project team, working to meet a shared goal against challenging constraints. Making test plans, carrying out analyses, reporting results and conclusions, interface with other projects, manufacturing, marketing, customer support and the customer
