Job description

Gas Delivery and Product Safety Engineer

Own the gas system and toxic-gas safety program for a 300 mm growth tool

About us

NanoGalaxy is PhantaField's growth tool. It uses pulsed-plasma MOCVD (PP-MOCVD) and is designed to grow 2D semiconductors such as MoS2 on 300 mm wafers below about 450 °C, so that new layers can be grown on top of chips that are already finished. We designed and ran an 8-inch research reactor with a university partner, and we have designed the 300 mm system. Measured results so far include MoS2 transistors and a capacitor-less 2T0C memory cell that holds data past 1,000 seconds. Prof. Chenming Hu, co-inventor of the FinFET, was our first investor and advises us.

The role

The tool runs hydrogen and toxic gases such as H2S and H2Se. No growth run happens until the gas system, the enclosure and the safety programs are right, and you own all three. You also take the tool through a third-party SEMI S2/S8 assessment. You report to the CEO.

What you'll do

GAS DELIVERY Move metal-precursor injection below the showerhead and plasma, and design solid-source sublimation and heated lines.

ENCLOSURE Design the double-contained, purged gas enclosure and tie it into the safety logic.

PROGRAMS Write the toxic-gas, LOTO and emergency programs, and run the MAQ and control-area analysis.

CERTIFICATION Commission the third-party SEMI S2/S8 and CE assessments.

FACILITIES Write the facility requirements document customers use to prepare a site.

What we're looking for

• 6+ years of UHP and toxic gas-system design for semiconductor equipment
• SEMI S2 and S8
• Fire-code and permitting work for toxic and flammable gases
• Gas panel design: VCR fittings, weldments, MFCs, purge and leak checks
• Gas detection and interlock design

Nice to have

• CE machinery directive
• Set up EHS programs for a new lab

Why PhantaField

Safety is the gate to everything else on this tool. You design the gas system and write the rules it runs under, and the first growth run happens when you say it is safe.

PhantaField is an equal opportunity employer. This role involves technology subject to U.S. export controls. Employment may depend on obtaining any required U.S. government authorization.
