Job description

Industry: Solar Cell / Semiconductor / High-Tech Manufacturing

Job Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Thermal Cluster Owner (Diffusion & PECVD) to lead, stabilize, and optimize thermal process tools in Topcon Solar Cell Production. The role covers the complete life cycle from Greenfield setup to stable mass production, including tool installation, qualification, ramp-up, process stabilization, and long-term optimization for yield, cost, and efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

• Greenfield (New Plant / Line Setup):
• Participate in layout planning, utility requirement definition, and tool selection for Diffusion & PECVD clusters.
• Lead tool installation, commissioning, acceptance, and buy-off with OEMs and project teams.
• Develop process recipes, SOPs, control plans, and safety protocols during ramp-up.
• Support technology transfer, benchmarking, and best practices adoption from reference fabs / suppliers.
• Running Plant (Stable Production):
• Own Diffusion & PECVD cluster and ensure stable operations with high yield and efficiency.
• Monitor KPIs – Film Quality, Sheet Resistance Uniformity, Uptime, Throughput, and Cost per wafer.
• Troubleshoot process deviations (non-uniform layers, poor passivation, contamination) and implement permanent corrective actions.
• Drive continuous improvement, debottlenecking, and cost optimization projects.
• Prepare and manage BOM for process gases, quartzware, graphite parts, and consumables; monitor and optimize consumption.
• Ensure EHS compliance in handling high-purity gases, thermal furnaces, and PECVD chambers.
• Collaborate with Maintenance, QA, R&D, and Planning teams to meet production targets.
• Train and mentor engineers/operators for skill development and knowledge transfer.
• Strong expertise in thermal processes: Diffusion (BCl₃, Annealing), PECVD (SiNx, passivation layers), and Annealing.
• Hands-on experience in Greenfield-to-Ramp-up transitions.
• Familiarity with process gases, quartzware, graphite components, and automation systems.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving using SPC, DOE, FMEA, RCA, Six Sigma.
• Proven leadership ability to manage teams and collaborate across functions.

Qualification

• B.E. / B.Tech in Mechanical / Electrical / Chemical / Electronics / Materials Engineering.
• 10–14 years’ experience in Solar Cell / Semiconductor industry with exposure to thermal process ownership, Greenfield projects, and mass production.
