About the Job

Requirements

  • Be a PhD student in Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Material Science, Physics, Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field of study.
  • Have knowledge of semiconductor processing fundamentals, including thin-film deposition, lithography, etching, and polishing.
  • Have experience with thin-film materials deposition techniques such as atomic layer deposition, chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, or electroplating, and characterization techniques such as ellipsometry, X-ray fluorescence, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray reflectometry, four-point probe, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, or transmission electron microscopy; have hands-on laboratory or fab equipment experience.
  • Have data-analysis skills, including the ability to construct clear data-based problem statements and design experiments.

Responsibilities

  • Contribute to process development, continuous improvement, and implementation of semiconductor manufacturing processes for a specific module within Logic Technology Development Metals.
  • Design, execute, and analyze experiments, then present conclusions and recommendations to the group.
  • Collaborate with fab technicians and support experiment execution by providing clear instructions.
  • Assist engineering teams with process-flow troubleshooting and metrology optimization strategies.
  • Apply statistical analysis and design experiments to enhance process reliability and throughput.
  • Gain experience with materials and device characterization techniques, including ellipsometry, X-ray-based techniques, four-point probe, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy.
  • Contribute to module process development, process integration flows, and equipment configuration for manufacturing modules.
  • Support yield-improvement initiatives by analyzing defect data, conducting experiments, and assisting in risk assessments.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to optimize metrology strategies, troubleshoot process-flow issues, and continuously improve the process in preparation for high-volume manufacturing.

Desired Qualifications

  • Be a third- or fourth-year PhD student and have experience with thin-film deposition and characterization.

About the Company

Intel

Pioneers microprocessors, CPUs for PCs

Intel designs and manufactures semiconductor chips, with a focus on microprocessors for personal computers, servers, and other devices. Its core product is the CPU on a single silicon chip, which executes instructions, handles arithmetic and logic operations, and coordinates the work of other computer components. Intel originated in memory chips but shifted decisively to microprocessors in the 1980s, becoming a central supplier for the PC era after the IBM partnership and its famous x86 processor line. This shift, large-scale manufacturing, and close ties with computer makers set Intel apart from competitors who remained focused on memory or other components. The company aims to power computing by delivering high-performance, energy-efficient silicon solutions that drive a wide range of computing devices and applications.
