Job's mission
ASM is seeking a highly motivated engineer to support the fabrication, testing, and analysis of semiconductor devices for logic and memory applications. This role involves hands-on work in cleanroom environments, electrical testing, data analysis, and collaboration with cross-functional teams to drive innovation and process improvements.
Note: This role is intended for candidates who are graduating in Fall 2025 or have graduated within the past two years and have 0–2 years of professional work experience.
Responsibilities
- Device Fabrication & Testing: Fabricate and test electrical test structures such as MOS capacitors, MIM capacitors, and FETs for advanced semiconductor applications.
- Process Ownership: Take ownership of unit processes in the fab and test areas, including etching, lithography, metal deposition, electrical testing, etc.
- Test Process Development: Develop and maintain test processes for various electrical test vehicles across FEOL and BEOL.
- Documentation & SOPs: Create and maintain standard operating procedures (SOPs) for fabrication and testing processes.
- Statistical Process Control (SPC): Implement and manage SPC for fab and test processes. Apply GR&R and other statistical tools to improve test station performance.
- Automation: Develop automation solutions for electrical testing and data analysis workflows.
- Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with internal and external fab teams, as well as corporate R&D, to fabricate devices and develop new test vehicles, including reliability structures and testing.
- Data Analysis: Analyze and interpret electrical test data (e.g., CV, IV, PUND, Dit) to support device characterization and process optimization.
- Scripting & Programming: Build scripts and tools for automated data extraction, processing, and visualization.
Requirements
- B.S. in ECE, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or related field with 3 to 4 years of relevant experience.
- M.S. in ECE, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or related field with 1 to 2 years of relevant experience.
Preferred Qualifications
- Hands-on experience in semiconductor device fabrication, testing and scripting for data analysis.
- Experience in lithography, wet etch, metal deposition, and electrical test tool maintenance/troubleshooting.
- Familiarity with cleanroom protocols and mask layout design.
- Experience in setting up and operating electrical test benches.
- Solid understanding of semiconductor device physics and electrical characterization.
- Strong initiative and ability to lead projects independently.
- Experience with scripting languages such as Python and JMP Scripting Language (JSL) for data analysis and automation.
- Experience with statistical analysis tools like JMP.
- Understanding of basic statistics such as DOE, SPC, GR&R, etc.
- Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Power BI).
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to work collaboratively with diverse teams to meet project goals and deadlines.
