This role is responsible for supporting inline yield performance through defect analysis and yield improvement initiatives. The incumbent will work closely with module and process engineers to identify defect sources, drive corrective actions, and enhance wafer quality to meet product requirements.
Requirements
- Supervise YDD Associate Engineers and wafer technicians to ensure smooth 24/7 inline shift operations.
- Train and certify D0 Associate Engineers on recipe creation, defect source identification, and tool operation.
- Maintain, enhance, and ensure compliance with internal SOPs and CAS; participate in internal and external audits.
- Perform inline failure analysis using FIB, SEM, and EDX tools.
- Operate YDD inspection tools (e.g. Brightfield, Darkfield) and develop, optimize, and maintain inspection recipes.
- Ensure proper maintenance, housekeeping, and governance of YDD tools and associated recipes.
- Conduct defect partition analysis and generate detailed technical reports on yield and defect issues.
- Build and maintain a comprehensive defect source library and tool defect fingerprinting database.
- Track and analyze inline defect performance by layer, process tool, and chamber on a weekly basis.
- Perform killer ratio analysis and defect characterization across process tools.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives for defect reduction in collaboration with module, equipment, and vendor teams.
- Partner with process engineers across modules to troubleshoot inline defects and implement yield improvement actions.
- Provide scan support for low-yield investigations and collaborate with PI, YE, and PE teams on technology- and device-specific yield enhancement activities.
- Automate routine analysis and reporting activities to improve troubleshooting efficiency and team productivity.
- Ensure wafer quality meets product and customer requirements; exercise authority to stop shipment or production when quality risks are identified.
