Reseach Engineer for Ion Implantation (APM), IME
Agency for Science, Technology and Research – Queenstown
Institute of Microelectronics (IME) is leading an R&D initiative focused on advancing critical process modules for next-generation semiconductor device fabrication. One key area of innovation is ion implantation, an essential step in creating high-performance devices.
Role Overview
This position offers an opportunity to develop strong expertise in ion implantation process technology, including lattice damage control, channelling effects, and post-implant recovery. You will work closely with a Senior Scientist to support ion implantation processes, run simulations, and apply fundamental knowledge of crystallography and ion-atom interactions. Collaboration with cross-functional teams and technology development groups will be a key part of your role.
Key Responsibilities :
- Troubleshooting : Assist in diagnosing and resolving equipment issues using basic diagnostic tools and understanding of ion implanter systems.
- Process Support : Help develop and validate implantation recipes to achieve desired dopant profiles and minimize lattice damage.
- Vendor Interaction : Work with equipment vendors to improve system performance and reduce downtime.
- Defect Analysis : Collect and analyze data on implant-induced defects and assist in developing strategies for defect reduction.
- Operational Coordination : Review work orders and support equipment operators in resolving process-related issues.
- Experimentation : Participate in designing and running implantation experiments with varying doses, energies, and angles to improve device performance.
Job Requirements :
