Semiconductor Manufacturing

Description

In-depth understanding of organic and metal-organic precursors, selective etching strategies (including plasma, thermal, and atomic layer etching), and associated intellectual property for advanced semiconductor applications. Design and optimize thin-film etch processes using novel and commercial precursors for highly selective removal of dielectrics, metals, and complex material stacks in advanced semiconductor device fabrication. Conduct concept and feasibility R&D for plasma and thermal etch, including chemical formulations, process flows, and parameter optimization, ensuring minimal impact on device performance. Prepare and execute project plans for semiconductor film etch development, meeting milestones and deliverables on time and within budget. Collaborate with business units and clients to optimize and scale etching processes for high-volume manufacturing. Troubleshoot and resolve technical challenges using structured root cause analysis, engaging cross-functional teams to implement solutions. Prioritize activities to achieve performance objectives aligned with project timelines and cost targets. Strong understanding and hands-on experience in Conventional and Atomic Layer Etch (ALE) processes, plasma etching principles, and semiconductor device fabrication. Expertise in Si and Metal precursor-based ALE techniques, thin-film etch, and characterization for Memory and Logic devices. Solid knowledge of chemistry and chemical reactions in plasma/thermal environments and at material interfaces. Ability to correlate etch process parameters with device performance and reliability. Knowledge of industry best practices and competitive differentiation in etch technology. Understands key business drivers and applies this knowledge to achieve technical and commercial objectives.
