Engineer, Metrology

Your Role

As an engineer in the RAM team, which comprises Real Time Defects Analysis (RDA) and Metrology, you will have responsibilities across Metrology engineering and RAM hardware and operation.

In the Metrology engineering scope, you will develop measurement methods and recipes that provide fast, accurate feedback on product quality and process performance. You will use statistics and data analysis to ensure measurements are reliable and to translate measurement results into practical engineering recommendations.

In the RAM hardware scope, you will support the advanced metrology and wafer-inspection equipment used by the RDA and Metrology teams. You will help ensure that these systems deliver the capability, stability, productivity, and availability required by the fab.

What You’ll Learn

How semiconductor wafers are measured and inspected, and how the resulting data connects to process control, yield, quality, cycle time, and manufacturing cost.

How to develop measurement recipes, which are the programmed methods that tell metrology equipment where and how to measure a wafer.

How accuracy, precision, stability, repeatability, reproducibility, and tool-to-tool matching affect the reliability of manufacturing decisions.

How sampling strategies balance process-control requirements, manufacturing cycle time, equipment capacity, risk, and cost.

How new manufacturing technologies and equipment are introduced through collaboration with Research and Development fabs, equipment suppliers, and engineering teams.

What You’ll Do

Metrology Engineering

• Develop, qualify, and maintain metrology recipes and measurement methods to provide accurate and timely process feedback.

• Troubleshoot measurement issues, including recipe performance, variation, stability, and tool-to-tool matching.

• Partner with Process, Equipment, Manufacturing, Quality, and Operation teams to resolve measurement, yield, and process-control issues.

• Drive improvements in measurement capability, productivity, cost, automation, and data analytics.

RAM Hardware Engineering

• Own and support advanced metrology and wafer-inspection equipment for RDA and Metrology.

• Qualify new equipment and hardware upgrades to meet manufacturing and future technology requirements.

• Monitor and improve equipment capability, stability, reliability, availability, utilization, and productivity.

• Troubleshoot complex equipment issues and drive hardware improvements with Engineering, Manufacturing, Application, Operation, and equipment suppliers.

RAM Operation

• Lead and develop a team of technicians through training, coaching, performance management, and a safe, inclusive, and productive work environment.

• Oversee daily operations and manpower deployment to meet safety, quality, output, cycle-time, and productivity targets.

• Partner with Engineering, Hardware, Manufacturing, and Applications teams to align priorities, resolve operational issues, and deliver manufacturing objectives.

• Drive continuous improvement in operational efficiency, quality, productivity, and work processes.
