CLAWS Fabrication Technician

CLAWS Fabrication Technician

The CLAWS Fabrication Technician will play a key role in supporting research and development activities related to III-V Power, RF, and Photonics device fabrication. The successful candidate will be responsible for hands-on execution of process flows, process module development, and data collection, contributing to the optimization of fabrication processes. This role requires a combination of practical skills in a cleanroom environment, analytical abilities, and a commitment to continuous improvement.

Responsibilities:

• Device Fabrication:
  Be responsible for hands-on execution of III-V Power, RF, and Photonics device fabrication, including full process flows, short flows, and unit processes.
• Process Module Development and Optimization:
  Work with engineering staff to develop and optimize robust process modules including:
• Execute Design of Experiments (DOEs) for process optimization.
• Identify opportunities for continuous improvement in fabrication processes.
• Fabrication Methods:
  Establish hands-on proficiency in relevant fabrication methods, including but not limited to:
• Photolithography
• Metal and dielectric deposition
• Etching (wet and dry)
• Wafer dicing
• Metrology and Data Analysis:
  Generate in-line metrology data for Statistical Process Control (SPC).
• Documentation:
  Maintain accurate and detailed records of experiments, procedures, and results.
• Equipment Operation and Maintenance:
  Operate and maintain process equipment, ensuring proper functionality and adherence to safety protocols.
• Collaboration:
  
  Work closely with engineers, scientists, and other technicians to achieve research objectives.

Other Responsibilities
- The successful candidate will also:

• Adhere strictly to defined safety and industrial hygiene practices in a semiconductor cleanroom environment.
• Faithfully execute and document processes as intended with careful attention to detail.
• Communicate results, plans, and other updates to a variety of audiences.
• Familiarity with MES systems and data entry.

Qualifications

Minimum Experience/Education
- Demonstrated possession of the competencies necessary to perform the work.

Preferred Qualifications
- The successful candidate would preferably have experience executing III-V semiconductor device process flows. Experience fabricating semiconductor devices in a cleanroom environment. The successful candidate would preferably have additional experience in:

• In-line metrology tools for process control.
• Use of MES and SPC systems.
• Statistical methods (e.g., DOE, GR&R) and tools (e.g., JMP, Minitab).
