Yield & Reliability Improvement

Lead yield enhancement initiatives by analyzing process, tool, and material interactions

Perform systematic root cause analysis using methodologies such as DOE, FMEA, 8D, SPC, and fault isolation techniques

Evaluate defect modes (voids, misalignment, delamination, corrosion) and implement corrective actions

Equipment & Materials Engineering

Collaborate with equipment engineering to qualify and optimize bonding grinding and trimming tools (e.g., EVG, TEL, Disco platforms)

Define equipment specifications, roadmap, process control strategies, and matching/fingerprinting requirements

Evaluate and introduce new materials/spares/parts for performance improvement

Technology Transfer & Process Integration

Support technology transfer and ramp-up across global sites

Align process baseline (POR) and ensure consistency through documentation and control plans

Work closely with integration, CMP, WET, and Films teams to ensure cross-module compatibility

Manufacturing Support & Problem Solving

Diagnose and resolve manufacturing line issues impacting bonding yield and performance

Analyze process excursions and implement containment and recovery actions

Drive continuous improvement for cycle time, tool availability, and cost efficiency

Qualification & Control

Lead new process and baseline qualifications

Develop control plans, SPC strategies, and inline monitoring systems

Establish risk mitigation frameworks and ensure compliance with manufacturing standards

Supplier & Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner with suppliers for technology development, process improvement, and cost optimization

Audit material and equipment suppliers to ensure quality and reliability targets are met

Collaborate with global teams and partners to drive alignment and execution

AI Responsibilities:

Integrates AI-assisted tools and insights into daily work to improve efficiency, quality, or effectiveness, exercising sound judgment and complying with organizational standards and legal requirements.

Contributes to a culture of continuous improvement by identifying, testing, and sharing AI-enabled enhancements within one’s scope of work.

Requirements:

Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field

7 years+ Relevant proven experience in semiconductor manufacturing or advanced packaging

Strong knowledge of semiconductor bonding processes (wafer to wafer hybrid bonding, fusion bonding preferred)

Understanding of Cu plating, CMP interaction, surface preparation, and defect mechanisms

Experience with advanced packaging technologies (HBM, TSV, wafer-to-wafer bonding) is highly preferred

Proficiency in data analysis, SPC, and statistical modeling

Strong problem-solving skills using structured methodologies (8D, FMEA, DOE)

Ability to manage complex projects involving multiple functions in a high-volume manufacturing environment

Excellent communication and collaboration skills across global teams

12-inch wafer-to-wafer bonding (from TEL or EVG tool is preferred) and /or 12-inch wafer backside grinding (from Disco tool is preferred)
