Graphene‑Like Carbon Film Process Engineer

National University of Singapore; Singapore; On-site; SGD 70,000 - 110,000; Full time

Job summary

The National University of Singapore invites applications for a Research Engineer to develop and optimize graphene-like carbon thin films with tunable sp2 content. You will establish reproducible deposition processes and work with an industrial partner to meet process targets for advanced interconnect applications.

You will lead deposition experiments, characterize films using Raman, AFM, SEM and profilometry, and apply DOE methods to map processing windows.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
• 3-10 years of relevant industrial or research experience
• Hands-on experience in thin-film deposition, vacuum systems, semiconductor processing or materials characterization
• Experience with sputtering, e-beam evaporation, thermal evaporation, CVD, PECVD, ALD or plasma processing
• Experience with Raman spectroscopy, AFM, SEM or related characterization techniques is advantageous
• Experience in experimental troubleshooting, process optimization and quantitative data analysis
• Experience in semiconductor process development or industry R&D is advantageous

Responsibilities

• Develop and optimize deposition processes for ultrathin graphene-like carbon films.
• Systematically investigate the influence of deposition parameters on film structure and properties.
• Establish stable and reproducible process windows.
• Characterize films using Raman spectroscopy, AFM, SEM, profilometry and related techniques.
• Correlate deposition parameters with film structure, sp2 content and material properties.
• Apply DOE and structured process-optimization methods.
• Investigate process drift, equipment-related issues and variations in film quality.
• Perform root-cause analysis and implement corrective actions.
• Maintain process recipes, equipment logs, SOPs and maintenance records.
• Work closely with academic researchers and industrial collaborators to translate material requirements into practical process targets.
• Improve process stability, repeatability and equipment uptime.
