Research Assistant (MEMS), IME

Job Description

The Micro Electro Multiphysics systems (MEMS) team is looking for a research assistant for MEMS fabrication processes. The research assistant will work with a multidisciplinary team to develop processes for the fabrication of MEMS-based ultrasonic transducers, RF devices and other devices based on piezo materials, such as PZT and ScAlN films.

Job Responsibilities:

• Support MEMS process integrator to develop integration platforms based on PZT, ScAlN films, and other piezo materials.
• Work with process module team on process tuning of thin film deposition, etching, wet cleaning, wafer bonding and release process modules for piezoelectric MEMS devices.
• Support process integrator to conduct DOE and integration of thin-film piezoelectric MEMS devices.
• Conduct inspection and characterization of MEMS wafers using metrology tools such as DRSEM, CDSEM, ellipsometers, and microscopes.
• Perform routine check on wafer movement and necessary data collection.

Job Requirements:  

• Diploma or above in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics or related fields.
• Candidates with no experience may apply.
• Experience in semiconductor processes, such as lithography, thin film deposition, etching, wet cleaning, is advantageous.
• Hands-on experience in Design of Experiments (DOE) methodologies, statistical root cause analysis, and problem-solving methods is advantageous.
• Hands-on experience with basic process characterization techniques such as DRSEM, CDSEM and Ellipsometry is advantageous.
• Possess good interpersonal and oral/written communication skills, with ability to deliver clear and concise messages to both internal and external stakeholders.
