III-V Epitaxy Engineer (Engineer Staff, Mfg Waferfab) - Lumentum Operations LLCIII-V Epitaxy Engineer
Job Description:Virtually every communications network in the world-telecom, enterprise, or data center-depends on our optical components and modules. Our high-performance commercial lasers are critical to advanced manufacturing techniques for products ranging from semiconductor chips, smartphones, and tablets to automobiles and appliances.
We are a world technology leader, and our employees are part of an elite, innovative, success-driven team operating in a fast-moving, collaborative work environment to solve real-world problems.
We are seeking an Epitaxy Process Engineer to join our dynamic team, performing the following:
In this position you will:- Serve as process engineer for epitaxy related activities, supporting manufacturing, and supporting R&D for continuous product improvement and NPI development.
- Assume responsibilities of metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) epitaxy process ownership on dedicated reactor and/or epitaxy product portfolio of III-V compound semiconductor platform towards 247 manufacturing and developing new-generation optoelectronic devices for optical communications and consumer applications.
- Deliver on time and meet all key epitaxy production matrices including the line yield, tool throughput, and its continuous improvement process (CIP) including reactor component design improvement participation, on-time delivery to growth commitment, data generation and presentation towards driving the epitaxial manufacturing continuity and its troubleshooting, procedure protocols documentation, wafer cost/cycle time, lean manufacturing, engineering change order, statistical process control (SPC)/analysis/report, work instruction, corrective action, high-level production training, manufacturing execution system (MES), process flow, volume manufacturing, other manufacturing documentations/logistics.
- Interface closely with the manufacturing production as well as various product engineers, equipment engineers, process engineers, chip design engineers, to maintain and improve the legacy wafer fab products and to develop new products.
Requirements:- Ph.D (with 3+ years of applicable hands on experience) or Master degree (with 5+ years of applicable hands on experience) in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Material Science or related field is required.
- 5 years III-V compound semiconductor epitaxy growth experience, expertise in the related materials and device physics, and demonstration ability of effective troubleshooting in MOCVD processes is needed.
- Demonstrated ability to analyze the data, write clear technical reports to lead to the valid conclusion or result, and make crisp presentation is necessary.
- Able to work supporting of 247 fab manufacturing, including working additional off-hours on-call support as required. Work is 100% on site.
- Demonstrate a solid track record on epitaxy growth of InP-based material (InP, InGaAs, InGaAsP, InAlGaAs), or GaAs-based material.
- Hands-on experience of MOCVD reactor hardware, software and its capability upgrade/improvement is highly preferred. Prior experience of running MOCVD reactor generation of AIX 2400G3, AIX 2600G3, AIX 2800G4 or AIX G10 planetary systems will be a plus.
- Technical knowledge and hands-on experience in the relevant III-V compound semiconductor wafer and device characterizations such as photoluminescence (PL), x-ray diffractometer (XRD), ECV/polarons, particle/defect scan, thin film reflectometer, and spectroscopic ellipsometer is desired.
- Experience in semiconductor manufacturing epitaxy with familiarity with design of experiment (DOE), statistical process control (SPC), methodical data analysis for process performance improvement and process troubleshooting is ideal.
- A highly motivated self-starter with ability to work independently and a strong team player with good communication skills.
- Ability to adapt in rapid changing priorities, to thrive on technical challenges within and outside own core area of expertise, and to interact effectively across multi-functional teams.
