But we’re more than just a tech company. We value diversity, inclusion and sustainability as we strive to make a positive impact on the world. Our development programs help support your growth, shaping your future and pushing the boundaries of innovation to unleash potential.
We are looking for a talented individual to join our Corporate Research & Development Team in Leuven, Belgium. In the role of Senior Process Engineer we want you to learn, grow, and bring in your unique set of skills to develop groundbreaking innovations in the field of atomic layer deposition (ALD). You will work alongside your colleagues, putting your expertise in device physics, material science and process engineering into action in order to innovate: From idea creation to integrated process flows, enabling us to make a difference to and create value for our internal and external customers. Besides technical excellence, we are looking for people who share our values, help each other, and communicate clearly across teams and organizations. Your effort today will define the world of tomorrow.
Responsibilities
- Innovate and develop new thin film processes and applications in the areas of logic, memory, analog and power
- Design and conduct experiments, measurements and drive conclusions out of complex experimental data sets
- Work hands-on with state-of-the-art semiconductor process equipment and optimize processes alongside the hardware for maximum efficiency
- Communicate effectively with other ASM and customers R&D teams to understand and define requirements in order to successfully execute projects and demonstrations
- Ensure successful product transfers to customers by performing demonstrations, knowledge transfer, and traveling when needed to support other ASM sites
We could be a great match for each other if you have:
- A PhD degree in device physics, chemistry, chemical engineering or materials science, preferably with a thesis related to the semiconductor (or adjacent industries)
- Alternatively, a MSc degree in relevant field with several years of industrial experience in semiconductor or material research
- Prior experience in microelectronic device fabrication and electrical characterization, including MOS capacitors (MOSCAPs) and metal-insulator-metal capacitors (MIMCAPs) is a must.
- Prior experience with thin film deposition techniques (e.g., ALD, CVD) and their characterization methods (e.g., XPS, AFM, XRD, XRF and ellipsometry) is an asset
- Demonstrated understanding of semiconductor physics, processing equipment technology, and/or advanced chemistries
- A curious mindset, able to synthesize the complex and drive pragmatic solutions forward
- Ability to plan, execute and communicate projects from beginning to end and across stakeholders
- The passion and drive to take charge of your career, grabbing professional and personal development opportunities with both hands
