About The Position

As a Wafer Process Technician, you will perform tasks related to solution phase deposition, electrical test and measurement, visual inspection, and photolithography of lead selenide and sulfide products, as well as other silicon products. This role involves both hands-on, single-wafer processing and operating production-oriented, semi-automated semiconductor processing tools. As a Wafer Process Technician, you will work in a cleanroom environment and be responsible for activities such as wafer cleaning, photoresist stripping, metal liftoff, wet etching, basic analytical testing, measurement, and data entry for PbSX and Si products. The ideal candidate should be comfortable working in a cleanroom setting. Acquire essential chemical safety and handling knowledge through mandatory training. Adhere strictly to cleanroom protocols and safety guidelines at all times. Execute solution phase deposition of PbSX products with precision and efficiency. Perform meticulous chemical etching processes while strictly adhering to safety protocols. Conduct electrical test and measurement procedures to ensure product reliability and quality. Utilize optical microscope, profilometry, and thin film tools to measure and inspect wafers. Perform visual die inspection to identify and address any defects or anomalies, ensuring exceptional quality control. Demonstrate proficiency in fundamental photolithography and etching techniques to support fabrication processes. Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to troubleshoot and resolve process-related issues. Coordinate with a supervisor and/or engineers for wafer evaluations, experiments, data collection, qualifications, and reporting. Cross-training across various job functions is a requirement.
