Process Engineer for 3D Integration

Join the 3D team at imec’s R&D headquarters located in the heart of Europe and help in revolutionizing next-generation integrated 3D systems as process engineer.

What you will do

A wide range of applications (memory-on-memory, logic-on-memory, imager stacking, low temperature devices, ...) are the target scope within the 3D program and bilateral projects.

You will be working mostly in the clean rooms. Your primary responsibilities will be to support the 3D integration teams at imec with high quality feedback on inspection results (optical microscopy, first-time inspection SEM, manual polishing and cross sectional SEM, etc) and various metrology systems (such as topography profiling, Atomic Force Microscopy, etc). This feedback will enable fast resolution to in-line issues found with integration lots plus advice and understanding towards process improvement activities.

You will be spending time discussing requirements with the integration specialists. As part of this you will receive training on the specifics of the 3D process flows and all inspection / metrology related systems when necessary.

After the appropriate amount of trainings, you will be expected to bring your own decision making capability to the team, improving the speed of learning cycles and contributing to the projects with solutions and suggestions where possible. In a later phase, you will disseminate your findings and analysis via written reports. Additionally you can be expected to present data, reports and conclusions within module meetings.

Finally, after an in depth training, you will be expected to build simple flows conceptually and then (after verification by the engineering team) create and follow up lots in clean room environments.

You will be working in shifts (early/late) and covering one weekend out of four to ensure continuous support.
