Introduction
As a Lithography Process Engineer, you will be responsible for sustaining, optimizing, and developing photolithography processes in a high-volume manufacturing environment. You will work with advanced lithography tools and metrology systems to ensure critical dimension (CD) control, overlay accuracy, and defect reduction.
Your Job

  • Monitor and analyze SPC/ESPC charts for lithography modules using SPACE; respond to OOC/OOS events.

  • Perform critical dimension (CD) and overlay analysis using CD-SEM, scatterometry, and overlay metrology tools (e.g., KLA, ASML YieldStar).

  • Optimize photoresist coating, soft bake, exposure, post-exposure bake (PEB), and development processes.

  • Manage and tune stepper/scanner exposure tools (e.g., ASML, Nikon) for optimal performance and tool matching.

  • Conduct Design of Experiments (DOE) and split lot analysis using JMP, Klarity ACE, and other statistical tools.

  • Troubleshoot lithography defects such as bridging, footing, scumming, and resist residues.

  • Collaborate with Equipment Engineers on tool qualification, focus-exposure matrix (FEM), and process window optimization.

  • Maintain and optimize reticle management, focus and exposure control, and alignment strategies.

  • Drive process improvements to enhance CD uniformity, overlay performance, line edge roughness (LER), and critical dimension uniformity (CDU).

  • Support technology transfers, new product introductions (NPI), and process ramp-up activities.

  • Lead cross-functional teams to resolve yield excursions and implement corrective/preventive actions (CAPA).

  • Ensure compliance with TS16949 and other quality standards through regular audits and documentation updates.

Other Responsibilities:  

  • Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs 

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor Degree in Electrical / Electronics / Mechanical / Mechatronics / Microelectronics Engineering

  • 1 to 3 years of relevant experience in semiconductor wafer process engineering

  • Proven ability to identify, assess and solve problems

  • Perform Normal / Swing Shift (or 12-hour rotating shift if required)
