School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering is one of the founding Schools of the Nanyang Technological University. Built on a culture of excellence the School is renowned for its high academic standards and research. With over 3000 undergraduates students and 2000 graduate students it is one of the largest EEE schools in the world and ranks 4th in the field of Electrical & Electronic Engineering in the 2025 QS World University Rankings by Subjects.
Today the School has become one of the worlds largest engineering schools that nurtures competent engineers and researchers. Each year the School graduates over a thousand students who are ready to take on great ambitions and challenges.
Key Responsibilities:
Develop and run a CuCu hybrid bonding flow for fine-pitch 3D integration.
Optimize process windows (pressure/temperature/anneal/surface activation) to minimize contact resistance and voids; maintain cleanroom/tool best practices.
Characterize materials and interfaces using optical/profilometry SEM/TEM surface chemistry and electrical IV; translate data into process improvements.
Validate reliability and scalability via thermal cycling/HTS/electrical stress on test vehicles; build prototype stacks (e.g. interposer/test-chip) to evidence manufacturability.
Report and collaborate: produce clear technical reports/presentations coordinate with partners and maintain rigorous documentation version control and safety compliance.
Job Requirements:
PhD in Materials/ Microelectronics/ EEE/ or related.
Hands-on semiconductor process development in cleanroom (Cu interconnect/wafer or hybrid bonding; litho/etch/CMP/plasma/anneal).
Characterization: optical/profilometry SEM/TEM XPS/AFM electrical probing; DoE/statistics (Python/Matlab a plus).
Strong documentation safety discipline and clear communication in English- essential for data analysis and communication with stakeholders
Process integration & optimization; root-cause/failure analysis.
Reliability mindset (design/interpret thermal & electrical stress tests).
Collaboration with tool vendors/industry partners; concise reporting; ownership.
