Job description

Overview

Following internal career progression and mobility, we have an excellent opportunity in our Operations group for a Senior Process Integration Engineer to join our Process Integration team!

Rpeorting to the Head of Process Integration and based at our state-of-the-art manufacturing site in Durham, this is a key role which will involve close collaboration across many parts of the business. You will provide critical support to the 300mm wafer fabs, with responsibility for facilitating the successful introduction of new process technology, ramping up yield, supporting existing technology, and internal and external RMA support.

We are looking for candidates ideally with Process Integration experience in high-volume manufacturing, as well as significant experience of Data Analysis and working with CRBs.

Visa sponsorship and relocation assistance will be offered to the successful candidate, if required.

This is a key position with the opportunity to play a genuinely leading role in our production ramp as we continue to move into high-volume manufacturing.

Key tasks

• Support RMA return of customers and drive the root cause understanding

• Monitor electrical performance trends, support general/urgent fab operational issues, scrap investigation and analysis for process change review boards

• Monitor OOC, maintain good CPK for Electrical data and monitor inline SPC parameters

• Develop and improve yield characterisation and data analysis methodologies to rapidly determine yield limiters, correlation to in-line defectivity and metrology, and electrical parametric signals

• Identify and resolve process integration issues and related problems in the existing technology

• Performing defect characterisation and defect source analysis at new technology process development phase and drive for defect elimination CIP solution

• NTI Passdown Preparation: Inline/ ET Data preparation and Root cause (e.g., FDC) investigation in case of deviations including update of NTI pass down document's updates for FEOL and BEOL

• Support Principal Engineer with generation of reports, analysis of data and highlights deviations

• Support Process Integration with setup of systems for data collection, e.g. PCP (Process Control Plan) requests

• Run DOEs to optimise process margins and determine process & ET specifications for new technology

Qualifications and training

You will ideally be educated to degree level in a relevant field such as Electrical/Electronics Engineering or Physics/Microelectronics (or will possess equivalent experience).

Skills and experience

• Significant experience in high-volume semiconductor manufacturing (Process Engineering/Integration/Development)

• Working experience in CMOS /TFT/PMOS/NMOS process and process module/equipment (ideally 300mm)

• Experience in driving yield improvement

• Excellent understanding of semiconductor process technology and devices

• Excellent analytical and communication skills

• Scripting and coding skills (especially R and Python) - JMP experience is highly desirable

• Strong decision-making capabilities, coupled with the ability to analyse situations and provide solutions
