General Description:
HRL Laboratories seeks a Process Integration Engineer to join a team pursuing development of novel semiconductor and superconducting devices. The successful candidate will use their experience and creativity to build new process integrations for prototype devices intended to operate at cryogenic temperatures. They will interact with a broad team ranging from layout engineers and yield analysts to device modelers and quantum scientists.
Essential Duties:
Develop integrated process flows and design experiments (DOE) for unit processing steps
Work closely with lead engineers, unit process experts, modelers, cryogenic test engineers, and layout engineers to design novel devices and perform fabrication experiments
Analyze metrology and e-test data, feeding back to process improvements
Troubleshoot and resolve process excursions and define integration solutions
Written and oral communications providing technical status updates
Required Skills:
2-5 years’ experience processing semiconductor devices and circuits in R&D environment
Experience with materials and devices operating at cryogenic temperatures, superconductors, and rf engineering strongly preferred
Proven track record developing solutions to process development for FEOL or BEOL transistor and IC integration
Experience developing novel unit processes in ebeam/optical lithography, RIE/ICP etching, CMP, PVD, ALD, PECVD deposition
Experience developing metrology plans for CD-SEM, ellipsometry, and other in-line techniques
Experience interacting with test engineers and device modelers towards iterative process and yield improvements
Experience with statistical analysis in standard software (e.g. python, JMP, etc.)
Ability to operate and collaborate effectively in a team environment, including obtaining results through others
Required Education:
PhD degree in electrical engineering, material science, chemical engineering, or related science/engineering field. Bachelor’s or Master’s degree with 7 or 5 years’ (respectively) industry experience over above is also acceptable.
