Description du poste

R&D Engineer Wet Etch and Clean

What you will do

Dry and wet processing such as isotropic etching, cleaning and surface functionalization processes play a vital role in the semiconductor industry, spanning various stages such as Front, Middle, Back, and far Back-end-of-line (3D). The Surface and Interface Processing (SIP) team assumes a pivotal role in device integration (for Logic CMOS, Memory, beyond-CMOS, and Quantum computing) and 3D packaging, which serve as consistent drivers of innovation, bringing forth continuous stream of novel and increasingly complex wet processing challenges. To attain such requirements, a good understanding of cleaning processes and state-of-the-art wet processing hardware is a must.

Therefore, we are looking for a wet clean Development Engineer to join our team.

• Drive wet etch process development from LAB to FAB by designing robust experiments and implementing methodologies for process control, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
• Identify wet etch and clean processes and integration challenges, collaborating cross-functionally with internal teams and partners to develop innovative solutions.
• Develop sustainable processes and evaluate the environmental impact of processes working together with the sustainability department.
• Report about your work to internal and external partners, write technical papers, file patents, and actively extend your professional network through conferences and collaborations.
• Participate in joint development programs with external partners, driving research on new tools, materials, metrology, and methodologies while regularly sharing results.
• You will work in a dynamic multidisciplinary and multicultural environment together with imec researchers, hardware engineers, industry assignees, tool suppliers, device and process experts and scientists.
