Introduction:

As a Lithography Process Engineer, you will be responsible for sustaining, optimizing, and developing photolithography processes in a high-volume manufacturing environment. You will work with advanced lithography tools and metrology systems to ensure critical dimension (CD) control, overlay accuracy, and defect reduction.

Your Job:

• Monitor and analyze SPC/ESPC charts for lithography modules using SPACE; respond to OOC/OOS events.

• Perform **critical dimension (CD)**and overlay analysis using CD-SEM,scatterometry, and overlay metrology tools (e.g., KLA, ASML Yield Star).

• Optimize photoresist coating,soft bake,exposure,post-exposure bake (PEB), and development processes.

• Manage and tune stepper/scanner exposure tools(e.g.,ASML,Nikon) for optimal performance and tool matching.

• Conduct **Design of Experiments (DOE)**and split lot analysis using JMP,Klarity ACE, and other statistical tools.

• Troubleshoot lithography defects such as bridging, footing, scumming, and resist residues.

• Collaborate with Equipment Engineers on tool qualification,focus-exposure matrix (FEM), and process window optimization.

• Maintain and optimize reticle management,focus and exposure control, and alignment strategies.

• Drive process improvements to enhance CD uniformity,overlay performance,line edge roughness (LER), and critical dimension uniformity (CDU).

• Support technology transfers,new product introductions (NPI), and process ramp-up activities.

• Lead cross-functional teams to resolve yield excursions and implement corrective/preventive actions (CAPA).

• Ensure compliance with TS16949 and other quality standards through regular audits and documentation updates.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor Degree in Electrical / Electronics / Mechanical / Mechatronics / Microelectronics Engineering

• 1 to 3 years of relevant experience in semiconductor wafer process engineering

• Proven ability to identify, assess and solve problems

• Perform Normal / Swing Shift (or 12-hour rotating shift if required)

Preferred Qualifications:

• Prior experience in foundry or similar industry background will be an added advantage

• Analytical with good interpersonal skills

• Excellent team player

• High Integrity
