The intern will also gain exposure to AI-Enabled data exploration and predictive analytics for identifying process relationships and optimization opportunities. Through this project, the intern will develop practical knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing while contributing data-based recommendations for improving process robustness, yield, productivity, and cost performance.

Objective of the Project

• Develop an understanding of wafer thermal management and plasma strip processing in semiconductor manufacturing.
• Characterize the relationship between chuck temperature, wafer thermal behaviour, film properties, and process performance.
• Apply Design of Experiments and statistical analysis to identify key process-temperature relationships.
• Develop data-based optimization recommendations that may improve process robustness, yield, productivity, or cost performance.

Opportunities for Full-Time Employment

High-performing interns may be considered for future internship or full-time employment opportunities, subject to business requirements, position availability, and the applicable selection process.

Project Scope

• Study the assigned plasma strip process, equipment configuration, process parameters, and relevant thermal behaviour.
• Plan and conduct defined experiments to investigate the impact of chuck temperature on wafer thermal behaviour, film properties, and process performance.
• Develop and complete Design of Experiments studies to identify significant process-temperature relationships and optimization opportunities.
• Analyze experimental and manufacturing data using statistical techniques, process modelling, visualization, and relevant AI-Enabled workflows.
• Develop recommendations for improving process robustness, yield, productivity, or cost performance based on the project findings.

Learning Opportunities

• Gain practical exposure to semiconductor manufacturing, plasma processing, and wafer thermal management.
• Develop experience in Design of Experiments, statistical analysis, process modelling, and data-driven decision-making.
• Learn how process engineers evaluate thermal behaviour, film properties, process performance, and manufacturing variation.
