Objective of the Project

• Identify defect and yield trends using manufacturing data.
• Apply statistical analysis to a selected yield investigation.
• Develop an analytics, automation, or Artificial Intelligence solution.
• Generate data-driven findings and improvement recommendations.

Opportunities for Full Time Employment
Interns may be considered for future internship or full-time employment opportunities based on business needs, role availability, academic completion, and demonstrated capabilities.
Project Scope

• Analyze defect, yield, and excursion data to identify trends and correlations.
• Investigate selected wafer, lot, tool, and process-related yield issues.
• Develop dashboards, scripts, or AI-Enabled workflows for defect analysis.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to collect and validate relevant data.
• Document methodologies and communicate project findings.

Learning Opportunities

• Gain exposure to semiconductor defect analysis and yield engineering.
• Learn statistical analysis, data visualization, and root-cause investigation methods.
• Develop experience working with manufacturing and engineering datasets.
• Explore Generative AI, an AI Assistant, or Agentic AI for analysis and workflow automation.

Deliverables

• A completed defect or yield investigation with findings and recommendations.
• An analytics dashboard, automation tool, or AI-Enabled solution.
• Technical documentation describing the methodology and results.
• An impact assessment covering productivity, cycle time, analysis efficiency, or investigation quality.

Impact of the Project

• Improve visibility of defect and yield patterns.
• Accelerate selected root-cause investigations.
• Reduce repetitive analytical effort through automation.
• Strengthen data-driven decision-making within Real-Time Defect Analysis.

Skillsets Required

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Basic knowledge of statistics, data analysis, or semiconductor manufacturing.
• Familiarity with Python, Structured Query Language, data visualization, or equivalent tools.
• Interest in Generative AI, Agentic AI, or AI-Enabled engineering workflows.
• Clear communication and collaboration skills.
