About the Job

Requirements

A Master’s or Ph.D. in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field is required.
At least 5 years of experience in semiconductor wafer fabrication for advanced nodes is required.
At least 3 years of experience in Epitaxy or Chemical Vapor Deposition processing on AMAT, Novellus, and/or ASM platforms is required.
The successful candidate must be capable of planning effectively, driving schedules, meeting critical deadlines on multiple parallel tasks, leading technical discussions in their area of expertise, and working effectively across organizational boundaries.
The successful candidate must clearly communicate project status and actions and interface with multiple organizations to accomplish goals.

Responsibilities

Drive Chemical Vapor Deposition and Epitaxy process and device improvements through characterization, testing, design of experiments, data analysis, and simulation.
Work with process, integration, reliability, packaging, and test engineers to achieve process and device improvement goals.
Work with product groups to identify and optimize performance against critical final device parameters.
Partner with vendors to bring improvements to SMFAB, including productivity, improved cycle time, process stability, and equipment or process uptime.
Develop, integrate, and qualify Epitaxy processes for the LBC11 flows, enabling the technology ramp from development to high-volume manufacturing.

Desired Qualifications

Experience with high-stress films and their correction is preferred.
Experience developing new Epitaxy and/or Chemical Vapor Deposition processes from the ground up is preferred.
Strong inline-to-end-of-line signal correlation and process characterization skills are preferred.
Ability to build and maintain stakeholder relationships across internal and external partners is preferred.
Strong verbal and written communication skills are preferred.
Demonstrated ability to ramp quickly on new systems and processes is preferred.
Experience with both Chemical Vapor Deposition and Epitaxy is strongly considered.

Change the world. Love your job.

LBC11 Integration demands Epi processes that operate at nanometer precision: adding exactly the right material, at exactly the right process parameters, without disturbing localized films and area. At SMFAB in Sherman, these processes don’t yet exist in production form. You will build them. As a Epi Process Development Engineer in TI’s organization in Sherman, you will own the development, integration, and qualification of Epi for the LBC11 flows directly enabling TI's technology ramp from development to high-volume manufacturing. The Epi processes you develop will run on every wafer at SMFAB.

Responsibilities include:

Drive CVD and Epi process and device improvements through characterization, test, design of experiments, data analysis and simulation
Good understanding of CVD Dielectric Film characteristics and interactions with downstream processes
Experience with high stress films and corrections preferred
Work with multiple process, integration, reliability, packaging and test engineers to achieve these goals
Work closely with the product groups to identify and optimize the performance to meet critical final device parameters to enable game changing products in the market.
Partner closely with vendors to bring industry changing improvement opportunities to SMFAB in the form of PPH, Improved Cycle Time, Process Stability, and/or Equipment/Process Uptime.

The person performing this role must be capable to plan effectively, drive schedules, meet critical deadlines on multiple tasks in parallel, lead technical discussions in their area of expertise, and work effectively across organizational boundaries. They must be able to clearly communicate project status and actions. Additionally, they must be able to interface with multiple organizations and work well on a diverse team to accomplish goals.

Minimum requirements:

Master’s or Ph.D. in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field
5+ years in semiconductor wafer fabrication for advanced nodes
3 years experience in Epi or CVD processing on AMAT, Novellus, and/or ASM platforms; Strong consideration to candidates that have experience with both CVD and Epi

Preferred qualifications:

Experience developing new Epi and/or CVD processes from the ground up
Strong inline-to-end-of-line signal correlation and process characterization skills
Ability to build and maintain stakeholder relationships across internal and external partners
Strong verbal and written communication skills
Demonstrated ability to ramp quickly on new systems and processes

About the Company

Texas Instruments

Makes analog and embedded chips in its own plants

Texas Instruments designs and makes analog and embedded processing chips, the basic parts inside cars, factory equipment, data centers, and consumer electronics, and it sells one of the broadest chip catalogs in the industry. In 1958, its engineer Jack Kilby built the first integrated circuit, the building block of modern electronics, and later won a Nobel Prize for it. Its analog chips regulate power and convert signals such as sound and heat into data, while its microcontrollers act as small built-in computers, and TI earns money selling both to device makers. It also makes the graphing calculators many students use in math class. Texas Instruments was founded in 1930 and is based in Dallas, Texas.
