Intel Process Integration Engineer - (be)

Intel Intel · Semiconductors · Oregon, Hillsboro, United States +1

This role focuses on developing and optimizing integrated process flows for interconnect modules in semiconductor manufacturing. Responsibilities include coordinating with various engineering teams, optimizing RC performance, establishing process windows, identifying and reducing yield loss mechanisms, performing root cause analysis, implementing control plans, ensuring reliability margins, and supporting technology transfer from R&D to high-volume manufacturing. The role requires a PhD in a relevant engineering or science field and experience in semiconductor fabrication or characterization.

What you'd actually do

  1. Develop and define integrated process flows for interconnect modules.
  2. Coordinate across lithography, etch, deposition, diffusion, wet clean, CMP, dielectric, and metrology teams.
  3. Optimize RC (resistance-capacitance) performance.
  4. Establish process windows and integration schemes.
  5. Identify BE-driven yield loss mechanisms such as open and short defects, metal voids, low k ILD damage, etc.
