  • Developing recipes to meet structural & electrical requirements.

  • Managing wafers though Thin Film levels in support of special requirements.

• Other Process Areas

  • Working in multi-functional teams to jointly develop Array and CMOS structures.

  • Supporting multi-functional failure analysis and yield improvement.

• Advanced Thin Film peers

  • Maintaining or developing expertise in multiple process, hardware, or technology areas.

  • Serving as a resource for peers in recipe & process development.

Successful candidates must have:

• PhD in Physics, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, or a closely related field of study or,
• Bachelor/Masters in Physics, Material Science, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, or related field of study, accompanied by more than 5 years of relevant experience in CVD/Diffusion.
• Understanding in one or more of the following topics: Transport phenomena, Electromagnetics, Atomic/Molecular physics, and Surface phenomena.
• Solid troubleshooting, experimental build, and data analysis skills.
• Strong computer skills, including MS Office.
• Plasma physics background and understanding of plasma sources used in plasma CVD or equivalent experience.
• Understanding of CVD and Diffusion deposition processing principles.
• Rudimentary understanding of process control and Statistical Process Control (SPC).
• Understanding of solid state devices.
• Knowledge of advanced data analysis techniques and scripting.
• Willingness to work off shift and weekends if necessary.
