What you will do
You will be a member of the SEMTEM team within semiconductor technology and systems (STS). This team is responsible for in-line and out- of-line electron microscopy inspections. Electron microscopy inspections are needed at different development steps to characterize, at the wafer level the process and materials, which were used in the area of More Than More (MEMS, actuators, sensors …) and Core (SRAM, MRAM, 3D …). As TEM process engineer, you ensure a smooth intake of the different requests with a focus on high quality TEM service.
The pinnacle of our ambitions as international frontier is our extreme advanced pilot production line. In this experimental production line, we create our own developed technological production processes, which are ready to be transferred to large international IC-production companies. We deliver to our customers, the necessary knowledge to produce chips to an increasing number of requirements which result in an innovated production process. To fulfil these goals, we have high-tech clean rooms.

As TEM Process Engineer, you will have the following key responsibilities:

• You are a technical expert in TEM inspections and up-to date on the current limitations and possibilities of the tools with a focus on semi-conductor materials.
• You follow-up the different service queues in collaboration with specialists, assistants, operations managers.
