Job description
Your mission will be to define and coordinate the development of in-line metrology and defectivity systems specific to Back End Of Line (BEOL) and Far Back End Of Line (FBEOL) integration schemes. You will review the requirements of the different integration schemes from the measurement and characterization viewpoint, using your knowledge to enable the integration and reliability teams to improve their modules and platforms. You will be responsible for identifying gap areas and working with metrology/defectivity tool suppliers to create solutions which will ultimately become industrially relevant. You will own Joint Development Projects (JDP) and will liaise with suppliers, Business Development and the appropriate program to ensure capability is available.
You plan development activities for all 3D in-line measurement requirements, feeding high quality analysis towards integration teams and process development teams. You will follow up on the processing of test material, collect and analyze performance data. You report results both internally as well as to customers. You will be supported in your task by a Process Assistant, but will be expected to take a significant hands on role within the cleanroom.
You are up to date with current 3D applications and continuously maintain that status.
You keep your level of scientific know how up to date and benchmarks imec’s expertise and performance in your competence domain with the rest of the world.
You regularly report to your Team Leader, Program Manager, Program Director or to the customers on progress and results as well as on new opportunities.
