Key Responsibilities
1. Process Execution & Control (CMP & Wet)
Process Management: Independently manage and execute complex CMP recipes using AMAT and Ebara platforms to ensure precise planarization.
Chemical Control: Oversee critical Wet Process sequences using Celleste, TEL and DNS equipment, ensuring strict adherence to chemical concentrations and etch rates.
Stability Monitoring: Constantly monitor real-time process parameters (slurry flow, endpoint detection, and rinse cycles) to prevent process excursions.
Recipe Stewardship: Ensure all automated systems are running the correct, validated recipes to maintain high-volume production integrity.
2. Yield Excellence & Metrology
Precision Inspection: Utilize advanced KLA and AMAT metrology tools to monitor surface topography, particle counts, and defect density.
Trend Analysis: Actively analyze metrology data to detect and intercept potential yield loss before it impacts the production line.
Root-Cause Support: Provide critical data and observations to Process Engineers to facilitate rapid root-cause analysis of process deviations.
3. Operational Leadership (D Shift)
Real-Time Decision Making: Utilize SOPs and advanced decision trees to resolve process abnormalities and system alarms with speed and accuracy.
Seamless Handover: Maintain rigorous, real-time documentation in the MES to ensure the incoming shift has total visibility into process health and yield trends.
Core Competencies
Safe. Right. Fast: Safety is first priority always. Do it safely, do it right, and do it fast.
Analytical Rigor: The ability to interpret complex metrology data and identify patterns.
Self-Direction: The ability to work independently and maintain high standards during night shift operations.
Technical Communication: Clear and concise reporting of process deviations to engineering teams.
Act as an extension to process engineering: Become a reliable partner for executing process experiments to quickly determine root cause, enhance yield, improve cycle time and reduce holds.
