Project Title
PSK Thermal Optimization for Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing
Project Description
The intern will undertake a structured Process Engineering project focused on wafer thermal management and plasma strip process optimization.
Under the guidance of experienced engineers, the intern will investigate the impact of chuck temperature on wafer thermal behaviour, film properties, and process performance. The project will involve experimentation, Design of Experiments, statistical analysis, process modelling, and data visualization.
The intern will also gain exposure to AI-Enabled data exploration and predictive analytics for identifying process relationships and optimization opportunities. Through this project, the intern will develop practical knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing while contributing data-based recommendations for improving process robustness, yield, productivity, and cost performance.
Objective of the Project
- Develop an understanding of wafer thermal management and plasma strip processing in semiconductor manufacturing.
- Characterize the relationship between chuck temperature, wafer thermal behaviour, film properties, and process performance.
