JOB SUMMARY - This
position will provide support for all aspects of production in the EPI area.
The position requires a solid understanding of the principals involved in
semiconductor wafer processing and a good working level knowledge of the
equipment used in thin film deposition as well as the characterization equipment
used to monitor this process. This position is responsible for maintaining the
quality of the existing EPI product, and conducting investigations into low
yield and EPI process-related problems. The position requires the initiation
and implementation of process and product changes that support yield
improvement, quality improvement, new process introductions and cost
reductions.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES
1 .Improve process
capability/defect reduction/throughput improvement for high volume
manufacturing using statistical tools, DOE techniques, data driven decision
making and systematic problem solving skills.
2. Identify and execute
projects for EPI performance improvement.
3. Support new EPI
product development and production, specifically overseas foundry.
POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES
•Work with other Process Engineers and staff to support EPI production
operation on a daily basis. This involves maintaining shop instructions,
trouble-shooting production equipment, reporting of key area performance
indices, and training key operators.
•Identify and evaluate new process technologies to increase the
efficiency and organization of the EPI area.
•Assist in product and process improvement
engineering studies by evaluating process control wafers and process
characterizations as needed. Assessment and disposition of Maverick product in
the area, and performance of root cause analysis of low yield EPI product/EPI
process problems.
•Provide support for all EPI-related
