Job Description
The Senior Staff Chemist in the Exposure and Processing Chemistry group and will develop and employ advanced analytical methods to investigate Inpria resists as thin films coated on Si or other stacks with a strong focus in Xray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The experimental work will often require the manipulation of samples in ultrahigh vacuum and airfree conditions. The Senior Staff Chemist will design and execute experiments to investigate the chemical changes induced by extremeultraviolet (EUV) radiation as well as the impact of subsequent postexposure processing conditions on Inpria resist materials. The senior staff chemist will also oversee the data processing and interpretation. The learnings from the investigations will be used to keep the steady development of Inpria resist to meet the strict requirements for fabricating future manufacturing nodes.
Primary Responsibilities:
- Responsible for the Xray photoelectron spectrometer: maintaining the tool in operational conditions detecting potential upgrades to optimize workflows and training or assisting other users in the use of the spectrometer.
- Coowning specialized photoresist processing equipment: assisting in keeping the tool in operational conditions and assisting in the creation of standardized workflows.
- Designing and executing experiments comprising EUV exposure of thin films and XPS analysis (and/or other characterization techniques) to answer specific questions related to the optimization of resist materials
- Scheduling experiments to meet deadlines and the progress cadence proposed by the team leader.
- Identifying pitfalls and limitations of the experimental procedures and informing management of them.
- Processing spectra analyzing data deriving conclusions and reporting the learnings in team meetings and department meetings.
- Keeping a wellstructured storage of the generated data in accordance with the companys data management policies.
- Collaborate across the R&D department supporting multiple projects that require thin film characterization.
- Providing training on the Xray photoelectron spectrometer as needed.
- Other duties as assigned.
Key Qualifications:
- A PhD in Chemistry Materials Science or a related field (or equivalent education and/or experience).
- A minimum of one year of handson experience with Xray photoemission spectroscopy.
- Advanced user knowledge of Xray photoelectron spectra processing and interpretation.
- User knowledge of software for basic statistical analysis. (e.g SAS JMP or similar) and / or scripting skills in languages for data processing (e.g. Matlab Python or similar).
- Good verbal written and electronic communication skills.
- Ability to successfully complete a preemployment drug test.
Physical Requirements:
- Ability to sit or stand for long periods of time.
- Ability to use a keyboard and mouse for computer data entry and/or analysis and for presenting data.
- Ability to wear standard PPE in areas that require it.
- Ability to use a glovebox with thick rubber gloves to manipulate Si wafers and smaller samples in an airtight environment.
- Ability to utilize equipment that operates in lowpressure and airfree conditions.
- Ability to use tools to modify hardware operating in leakfree conditions.
- Ability to operate gas bottles gas manifolds massflow controllers and similar equipment for gas handling.
- Possibility of occasional overnight domestic or international travel for meetings and/or conferences.
