Job Description

Job Summary

As part of the uncooled detector (focal plane array) process team, the successful candidate will have responsibility for processing required number of silicon wafers in a cleanroom environment as per demand. Process could include processing in Vacuum tools like PECVD, ALD, RIE, Sputtering and IBD and metrology like Ellipsometer, Reflectometer, ResMap, Profilometer etc as well as some wet cleans. Candidate will focus mainly on processing the required number of wafers per instructions through their modules, passdown to other modules and help run pilot lots for engineering with deviations. Candidate will characterize wafers and devices using Ellipsometer, Filmetrics, Tencor profilometer, ResMap and Stress Map. As part of the role, hands‑on wafer fabrication and metrology are required. This is the right place for a self‑directed, goal‑oriented, collaborative production technician with an engineering mindset. The process line is new and you will be pioneering the module performance. Our culture is collaborative, supportive, and fun. The work environment is mostly clean room/lab.

Primary Duties & Responsibilities

• Process wafers according to instructions from MES software travelers fincluding engineering experiment lots
• Characterize results using quantitative metrology tools like Ellipsometer, ResMap etc
• Document deviations and excursions and support area troubleshooting
• Collaborate with Engineering and maintenance to ensure maximum output for the area

Job Qualifications

• High School Diploma or equivalent experience in related technical discipline required
• 2-5 years of related experience desired for Dep and/or etch processing in Vacuum tools like PECVD, ALD, RIE, IBD, Sputtering etc in a Cleanroom setting
• Ability to communicate clearly in written and spoken English
• Ability to use inspection equipment like microscopes and semiconductor fabrication equipment like including PECVD, ALD, RIE, IBD, Sputtering etc and wet bench chemistry
• Direct experience with one or more key wafer fabrication processes in Dep and/or etch is necessary

Desired Background

• Wafer processing tools for semiconductor or MEMS fabrication in other areas like photolithography
• Infrared detector technology

Applicants must be either a U.S. citizen or PERM Resident
