Metrology Engineer (50303)

TITLE: METROLOGY ENGINEER

FLSA STATUS: EXEMPT

REPORTS TO: SR. DIRECTOR, PROCESS CHARACTERIZATION/NPI

SUMMARY:

Under the direction of the Sr. Director of Process Characterization/NPI, the Metrology Engineer is responsible for creating recipes, developing and implementing methodologies for improving wafer quality on the prototype wafers with a specific focus on Focused Ion Beam (FIB) tools. Other responsibilities include the process integration and characterization of prototype wafers for new technology programs and next generation projects. This position is located in Milpitas, California.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

• Creating and optimizing recipes of prototype wafers for FIB tools
• Interacts and responds to inquiries from other engineering groups regarding new metrology requests, wafer quality, or yield issues
• Monitors and sustains prototype line activity, including FIB and other inline characterizations
• Improves wafer level defect and yield by conducting comprehensive failure analysis using FIB, and provides detailed analysis
• Develops and delivers process integration and characterization techniques for new technology programs and next generation products
• Performs wafer level process characterization, conducts failure analysis on the new processes of prototype wafers and recommends corrective action to resolve the issues
• Analyzes data using JMP, MS Visual Basic, or similar software application to determine the root cause of process variations; develops charts or reports and presents findings.
• Adheres to all safety policies and procedures as required
• Performs other duties of a similar nature or level*
