Job Description
Summary: Intel is a global leader in innovation and technology, seeking a Process Integration Engineer to drive process technology innovation. The role involves developing integrated process flows, optimizing performance, and collaborating across various engineering teams to enhance yield and reliability in semiconductor manufacturing.
Responsibilities:
- Develop and define integrated process flows for interconnect modules
- Coordinate across lithography, etch, deposition, diffusion, wet clean, CMP, dielectric, and metrology teams
- Optimize RC (resistance-capacitance) performance
- Establish process windows and integration schemes
- Identify BE-driven yield loss mechanisms such as open and short defects, metal voids, low k ILD damage, etc
- Perform root cause analysis using statistical tools (SPC, DOE, FMEA)
- Drive corrective actions to improve yield and cycle time
- Implement control plans and process monitoring strategies
- Use statistical tools such as: Cpk / Ppk, Control charts, Capability analysis
- Ensure margins for electromigration, stress migration, TDDB, time dependent via degradation
- Evaluate impact of process window shifts on reliability
- Support ramp from RnD to high-volume manufacturing (HVM)
- Document process specifications and standard operating procedures (SOPs)
- Work with Device Engineering, Equipment Engineering/Module Engineering, Yield Engineering, Reliability Teams, and Design Teams
Required Qualifications:
- Candidate must possess a PhD degree in one of these fields: Electrical Engineering, Physics, Applied Physics, Optics, Material Science, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related discipline
