Your RoleAs a Defect Inspection Engineer/Expert, you will be responsible for ensuring the defect-free quality of semiconductor wafers using Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems and unpatterned wafer inspection.
You will detect defects such as particles, scratches, haze, and surface roughness that could impact the yield of our integrated graphene photonics process flow.
Working in a cleanroom environment, you will collaborate with process, equipment and integration teams to set up, qualify and optimize inspection recipes, troubleshoot issues, and continuously improve defect detection and classification.
What You’ll DoPerform AOI and unpatterned wafer inspection on materials such as bare silicon, epitaxial layers and polished wafersSet up, qualify and optimize inspection recipesFine-tune inspection tool and recipe parameters to improve defect-detection sensitivity, inspection quality, repeatability and overall performanceAnalyze defect data to identify trends, root causes and potential process excursionsInterpret defect data and translate findings into actionable insights for process teamsGenerate defect maps, Pareto charts and reports to communicate findingsParticipate in Design of Experiments (DOE) to optimize inspection parametersTroubleshoot inspection-related issues and support continuous improvement in defect detection and classificationCollaborate with process, equipment and integration teamsWhat You BringA bachelor’s degree or above in electrical engineering, materials science, physics or a related field5+ years of experience in semiconductor inspection, with a focus on AOI and unpatterned wafer inspectionHands-on experience with unpatterned wafer inspection systems, such as SPx, and AOI tools such as Eagle or DragonflyUnderstanding of semiconductor process flows, including polishing, epitaxy and cleaningFamiliarity with defect classification, SEM review and Statistical Process Control (SPC)Proficiency in AOI and defect-review software, such as KLA Klar.
