About the role

Senior/Lead Research Engineer responsible for owning, optimizing, and sustaining wafer‑level bonding processes in a semiconductor fab, driving SPC governance, yield improvement, defect reduction, and cross‑functional collaboration for advanced packaging technologies.

ResearchOnsiteInstitute of Microelectronics

Key Responsibilities

  • Own and maintain SPC control strategies for bonding processes across multiple toolsets
  • Define critical process parameters (CPPs) and critical quality attributes (CQAs) such as alignment accuracy, bond strength, defectivity, warpage, and thickness
  • Establish and optimize control limits, reaction plans, and process windows
  • Drive yield enhancement through data analytics
  • Statistical modeling

Requirements

  • Serve as the process owner for bonding toolsets, including recipe setup, qualification, matching, and continuous improvement.
  • Process Qualification Packages
  • Bachelor's degree in Materials Science, Chemical, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, or related fields.
  • 3+ years of hands‑on experience in wafer bonding, advanced packaging, 3D integration, or related semiconductor process engineering.
  • Practical experience with hybrid wafer bonding, direct bonding, and/or Temporary Bonding & Debonding (TBDB) equipment.
  • Familiarity with bonding‑related metrology such as IR inspection, SAM, profilometry, bond‑strength measurement, overlay/alignment metrology, and thickness mapping.
