Tech Stack

Description

You will work on improving TiN thin film deposition processes by conducting plasma-based blanket studies, characterizing films with techniques like XPS and AFM, and analyzing process-structure-property relationships. Your contributions will help advance semiconductor process technology used in 5G, AI, and autonomous driving.

Requirements

• PhD student in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or Plasma Engineering
• Hands-on experience with plasma reactors
• Knowledge of deposition principles and thin film characterization
• Strong interest in operating ASM chambers and mechanistic process development
• Comfortable presenting results in a collaborative scientific setting

Responsibilities

• Conduct plasma deposition blanket studies and process characterization
• Understand plasma deposition fundamentals and HW-process interactions via DOE
• Use XPS, AFM, XRR, Ellipsometry, Nanoindentation for film analysis
• Monitor SPC to improve process stability
• Present key findings to a large audience
