PDF is seeking a Sr. Electron Optics Engineer in Electrical Beam Optics to drive the R&D, manufacturing, and delivery of state-of-art Electron Beam Inspection systems designed by PDF Solutions, eProbe TM , for use at 300mm semiconductor wafer fabs for use in yield ramp and manufacturing control. The Optics Engineer must be a highly motivated and a self-driven team player with strong communication skills and possess the drive to deliver quality results on time in a dynamic, multi-discipline, intensive and highly productive environment.
Responsibilities
- Work closely with PDF internal engineering team towards delivery of electron beam columns for next generations of eProbe systems
- Simulate existing column designs under their full space range of operation. Match simulations to experimental data, refine model parameters of the simulation, and refine models of ebeam source.
- Use simulation to drive new modes of operating the column e.g. with added lenses and deflectors.
- Design and simulation in 3-D packages for non-rotationally symmetric column elements such as Wien filters and high-precision energy filters
- Hands-on work with on PDF's Ebeam tool for column characterization
Qualifications
- Masters/PhD in Electrical engineering, physics, material science, or similar engineering field
- Strong experience in e-beam optics simulation using MEBS software
- Experience in any scripting or programming language (e.g. Python, Java, C#, C++)
- Experience with any data analysis package (e.g. Excel, MATLAB, R, JMP)
- Good analytical and engineering skills
- Good written and verbal communication skills
- Experience or familiarity with 300mm semiconductor IC manufacturing
- Experience or familiarity with semiconductor capital equipment, especially ebeam and ultra-high vacuum equipment.
- Experience specific to ebeam inspection columns and, even more so, in voltage contrast inspection column is very desirable.
- Hand-on experience in bringing up new ebeam columns, ebeam guns, ebeam electronics and ebeam test fixtures for characterization.
Pay Range
TWD $2,137,512.00 - TWD $2,514,720.00 /Yr.
