Project Title
Predictive Modelling of Dry Etch Equipment Consumable-Part Lifetime for Cost and Productivity Improvement
Project Description
The intern will undertake a structured engineering project focused on identifying key consumable parts in Dry Etch equipment and studying the process and equipment parameters that influence their useful lifetime.
Under the guidance of experienced engineers, the intern will analyze equipment, process, maintenance, and consumables-related data to develop a predictive analysis model for estimating part lifetime. The project aims to improve consumable utilization and cost efficiency while maintaining safety, product quality, equipment performance, and manufacturing yield.
The project will provide exposure to Dry Etch equipment, lean manufacturing, cost management, data analytics, predictive modelling, dashboard development, and AI-Enabled engineering workflows.
Objective of the Project

• Develop an understanding of Dry Etch equipment functions, processes, and key consumable parts.
• Identify equipment and process parameters that influence consumable-part lifetime.
• Develop a predictive methodology for estimating the useful lifetime of selected parts.
• Generate data-based recommendations that may improve cost efficiency and productivity while protecting safety, quality, and yield.

Opportunities for Full-Time Employment
High-performing interns may be considered for future internship or full-time employment opportunities, subject to business requirements, position availability, and the applicable selection process.
Project Scope

• Study selected Dry Etch equipment functions, processes, consumable parts, and relevant replacement criteria.
• Analyze equipment, process, maintenance, logistics, and cost data to identify performance trends and part-lifetime relationships.
• Develop and evaluate a predictive analysis model for estimating the useful lifetime of selected consumable parts.
• Build dashboards or visualizations using tools such as Microsoft Excel, Power BI, Python, Structured Query Language, or approved AI-Enabled platforms.
• Document analytical findings and develop recommendations for improving consumable utilization, cost efficiency, productivity, and engineering decision-making.

Learning Opportunities

• Gain practical knowledge of Dry Etch equipment functions, processes, and consumable-part behaviour.
• Develop an understanding of logistics and cost management in a lean manufacturing environment.
• Gain experience in manufacturing data analytics, predictive modelling, anomaly detection, and dashboard development.
• Collaborate with professionals from Manufacturing, Engineering, Quality, Automation, and Data Science.

Deliverables

• A documented analysis of selected Dry Etch equipment consumables and the factors that influence their lifetime.
• A predictive analysis model or methodology for estimating the useful lifetime of selected parts.
• A dashboard, visualization, or analytical report presenting relevant trends, model outputs, and findings.
• Data-based recommendations and a final technical presentation covering the methodology, results, limitations, and potential next steps.

Impact of the Project

• Improve understanding of consumable-part lifetime and usage patterns in selected Dry Etch equipment.
• Identify potential opportunities to improve consumable utilization, cost efficiency, and equipment productivity.
• Enhance visibility into equipment and process trends while protecting safety, product quality, and manufacturing yield.

Skillsets Required

• Basic proficiency in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and technical-documentation skills.
• Familiarity with data analytics or visualization tools such as Python, Power BI, or Structured Query Language is advantageous.
• Interest in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, predictive analytics, or AI-Enabled engineering workflows.
• An inquisitive mindset and willingness to learn semiconductor equipment, manufacturing processes, and cost-management concepts.
