About The Position

Soitec is a company listed on the SBF 120 index of the Paris Stock Exchange that operates at the upstream end of the microelectronics value chain. Our innovative semiconductor materials are essential to the functioning of smartphones and the rollout of 5G. They also offer numerous opportunities for connected cars, electric and autonomous vehicles, and embedded intelligence in connected devices. This position gives us an incredible responsibility, which inspires us every day: to enable the widespread adoption of technological innovations while significantly limiting their environmental impact, in line with a commitment to responsible innovation and sustainable development. The work-study program at Process IPR is structured around two complementary areas: Working on a specific technical project and Gaining an understanding of the role of a process technician. With the guidance of your mentor, you will work on a key process: thermal annealing, used to improve the surface quality of SOI wafers. This process, which is particularly sensitive to temperature fluctuations, requires precise control of the heating and cooling phases to ensure uniform heating. Any deviation can impact product quality by generating stress in the wafer and causing crystalline defects. In this context, you will be trained in the rapid thermal annealing process as well as in recipe configuration. In collaboration with the process engineer and with support from the equipment manufacturer, you will contribute to process improvement by testing different temperature control configurations.
