Defectivity Control Process Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Zero defect methodology and troubleshoot at Applied's CoW hybrid bonding R&D center.

• Work on defectivity-related problems of wet and dry chambers and processes. Design systematic partition experiments, collect and analyze defectivity data, and identify particle sources and areas of improvement to meet defectivity requirements.

• Work closely with process team to improve process adders through process optimization.

• Propose and validate solutions to meet cleanliness roadmap and next generation defectivity requirements. Trigger and drive a multi-functional defect improvement team (engineering, process, & hardware) to prototype and implement solutions.

• Develop particle troubleshoot SoP and fan out to the entire global hybrid bonding team (both product and fields). Document defectivity learnings in a database. Transfer learnings to field teams and new team members through tutorial sessions. Lead defectivity improvement projects at CoW hybrid bonding R&D center.

• Defectivity subject-matter expert to support/guide field teams on defectivity troubleshooting.

Functional Knowledge

• Hands-on experience in defectivity inspection, particle troubleshooting, and improvement is essential. Expertise is highly desirable.

• Understanding the principles, methodologies, and practical applications of common defectivity characterization techniques (such as SP2/3, AOI, SEM, EDS, airborne particle counter, TXRF, etc.) is needed.

• Background in any processing technologies in plasma, wet clean, thermal anneal, or WoW or CoW bonding is a plus.

Opportunities

• On-job training on CoW hybrid bonding processes and challenges.

• Overseas training by defectivity experts for defect reduction and design for defectivity concepts.

• Technical training on/exposure to up & downstream integration processes and interaction with hybrid bonding.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in the field of defectivity improvement.

• 15% travel commitment to the US (California and Montana), Taiwan, Korea, or Europe.

Working Location

• Science Park II, Singapore.
