Department: Probe

Project Title: Move Table Optimizer: Applied Artificial Intelligence for Wafer Test Optimization

Project Description

Develop an applied Artificial Intelligence solution that automatically generates optimized wafer test movement configurations. During wafer testing, a probe card moves across the wafer to contact and test each die. The movement sequence must cover all required dies using as few contacts as possible. This represents a constrained coverage and sequencing problem that is currently optimized manually on a case-by-case basis. The intern will apply optimization, machine learning, and software engineering techniques to develop an optimization engine and a web application for engineers to visualize, compare, and evaluate recommended configurations. The project provides practical exposure to Artificial Intelligence-enabled optimization, web application development, and semiconductor wafer probe testing.

Objective of the Project

Develop an optimization engine that generates and ranks wafer test movement configurations. Reduce the manual effort required to evaluate individual wafer test cases. Enable engineers to visualize and compare recommended configurations through a web application. Quantify potential improvements in test time and tester utilization using representative production cases.

Opportunities for Full Time Employment

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

Project Scope

• Apply optimization and machine learning techniques to generate and rank wafer test movement configurations.
• Analyze historical configuration data and benchmark model results against manually optimized configurations.
• Develop a web application for engineers to visualize, compare, and select recommended configurations.
• Validate the recommendations using representative production cases and quantify the improvements achieved.

Learning Opportunities

Develop an applied Artificial Intelligence solution from problem formulation through model development, application integration, and validation. Gain experience working with real semiconductor manufacturing data and practical engineering constraints. Build hands‑on knowledge of semiconductor wafer probe testing in a high‑volume manufacturing environment. Collaborate with cross‑functional Automation, Equipment, and Engineering teams.

Deliverables

• An optimization engine that generates and ranks wafer test movement configurations.
• A web application featuring wafer visualization and side‑by‑side comparison of recommended configurations and potential savings.
• A validation report documenting the methodology, results, limitations, and quantified improvements.

Impact of the Project

A previous manual optimization study for one product reduced the number of contacts per wafer by two, resulting in a 7.14% reduction in test time for that product. As manual optimization limits the number of cases that can be evaluated, automating the process could make similar optimization methods repeatable across a broader product mix. The solution has the potential to shorten test time, improve tester utilization, and provide engineers with a consistent method for evaluating wafer test movement configurations.

Skillsets Required

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and software engineering skills.
• Experience with Python, Linux, Angular, and Structured Query Language.
• Familiarity with machine learning, optimization libraries, or Artificial Intelligence-enabled workflows.
• Exposure to combinatorial optimization, coverage optimization, sequencing, or path-planning problems is an advantage.

Course of Interest

The ideal candidate should be pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related field.

Duration of Period

The ideal candidate should be able to commit to a full time internship period of at least 5 months.
