Job Description

Summary:

As a Process Technician within the Cleans department (sometimes called ‘Wets’ or ‘Wet Etch’) you’ll work alongside a dynamic group of engineers and technicians in a fast‑paced, high‑volume manufacturing environment producing some of the most advanced semiconductor devices on the planet.

You will act as the first responder to product quality issues and manufacturing constraints for our Clean “Wet Etch” processes. This role involves performing equipment qualification, misprocess disposition, root cause investigation, and production line management.

Here’s what you’ll be responsible for:

• Set up the qualification plan to monitor the quality of product wafers that run through our tool for the first time after tool maintenance work
• Respond to SPC interlocks after investigating for possible root cause
• Determine and execute the plan for product wafers involved in tool faults, with partially processed wafers possibly requiring the creation of a modified recipe to complete the Wet Etch process
• Investigate manufacturing constraints as related to tool availability and product movement

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 2+ years of experience as a Process Technician or MFG specialist or an associate’s degree or equivalent semiconductor experience
• Prior experience with cleans and Cu electroplating processes is preferred (specifically with DNS, SEMES, TEL or FSI platforms)
• Experience in analyzing SPC charts and trend charts is also a plus
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, PowerPoint, Word)
