Job Description

KLA is a global leader in diversified electronics for the semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem. Virtually every electronic device in the world is produced using our technologies. No laptop, smartphone, wearable device, voice-controlled gadget, flexible screen, VR device or smart car would have made it into your hands without us. KLA invents systems and solutions for the manufacturing of wafers and reticles, integrated circuits, packaging, printed circuit boards and flat panel displays. The innovative ideas and devices that are advancing humanity all begin with inspiration, research and development. KLA focuses more than average on innovation and in 2019 we invested 15% of sales back into R&D. Our expert teams of physicists, engineers, data scientists and problem-solvers work together with the world’s leading technology providers to accelerate the delivery of tomorrow’s electronic devices. Life here is exciting and our teams thrive on tackling really hard problems. There is never a dull moment with us.

Group/Division

Enabling the movement toward advanced chip design, KLA's Measurement, Analytics and Control group (MACH) is looking for the best and brightest research scientists, software engineers, application development engineers and senior product technology process engineers to join our team. The MACH team's mission is to collaborate with our customers to innovate technologies and solutions that detect and control highly complex process variations—at their source—rather than compensate for them at later stages of the manufacturing process. With over 40 years of semiconductor process control experience, chipmakers around the globe rely on KLA to ensure that their fabs ramp next-generation devices to volume production quickly and cost-effectively. Our MACH team develops leading-edge solutions for patterning process analytics and control technologies, thereby providing customers with critical insight at the feature level, field level and cross-wafer analysis. Our teams also develop advanced modeling simulation, data analytics and process control modeling technologies. As a member of the MACH team, you’ll be joining the most sophisticated and successful process-control company in the semiconductor industry--working across functions to solve the most complex technical problems in the digital age.

Company Overview

Calling the adventurers ready to join a company that's pushing the limits of nanotechnology to keep the digital revolution rolling. At KLA-Tencor, we're making technology advancements that are bigger—and tinier—than the world has ever seen.

Who are we? We research, develop, and manufacture the world's most advanced inspection and measurement equipment for the semiconductor and nanoelectronics industries. We enable the digital age by pushing the boundaries of technology, creating tools capable of finding defects smaller than a wavelength of visible light. We create smarter processes so that technology leaders can manufacture high-performance chips—the kind in that phone in your pocket, the tablet on your desk and nearly every electronic device you own—faster and better. We're passionate about creating solutions that drive progress and help people do what wouldn't be possible without us. The future is calling. Will you answer?

Job Description

• Work on process control for edge placement error (EPE), an expansion of CD uniformity (CDU), overlay control, and EUV exposure lithography control and analysis, to account for the more complex interactions in leading-edge multi-patterning and process integration schemes.
• Work on a team to develop statistics-based analysis techniques for data streams from KLA's metrology tools, such as the Archer (overlay), SpectraShape (CD), and PWG (wafer shape) tools.
• Develop physics-based models that are related to the physical processes used in semiconductor manufacturing, in order to combine measurements in a meaningful way.
• Combine models with feed-forward and feedback control methods. Analyze these process control loops for stability and effectiveness in reducing manufacturing errors.
• Your ideas will be realized in cooperation with our software development and will be used by the customer in process optimization.
• From the preliminary study up to the commercialization, you can also accompany your solution ideas at the international customer's site and play a decisive role in shaping them.
• You will have the opportunity to present your excellent results at conferences.

Qualifications

• Proficiency in data science, machine learning, and analytics, including statistical data analysis.
• You have a university degree in natural sciences or engineering.
• Experience articulating and translating questions and using statistical techniques to arrive at an answer using available data.
• Strong programming skills and experience with a scripting language for data processing and development (e.g., Python, MATLAB, R).
• Experience with EUV is a plus.
• To evaluate new software modules, you are willing to travel to customers in the USA or Asia.
• You like to share your results with the team and you are open to questions from your colleagues.
• Your written and spoken English skills are very good.
