Process Engineering Intern

The group you’ll be a part of

WETS

The impact you’ll make

Be a part of the exciting Sabre 3D process development and engineering team. Our mission is to advance and innovate WFE (wafer fab equipment) electrodeposition process and technology, in the field of advanced packaging, including through Silicon via, through glass via, panel level plating and grain engineering

What you’ll do

Participate in projects applying engineering and electrodeposition methodologies towards developing features on Lam SABRE 3D system to further enhance equipment and reactor performance. Supports in the testing and characterization on development of new or modified process formulations, product development and technology support. These duties include setting up of and running bench scale experiments, operations of application lab deposition development tool, chemistry and material analysis, and use of metrology tools to measure and characterize on wafer deposition performance. Further R&D support activities can also include data compilation and organization and conducting scientific journal research.
