Introduction to the job
Are you interested in working at the cutting edge of technology and shaping the future of ASML? Do you have the technical capabilities to provide innovative solutions? Does contributing to the world’s most advanced lithography machines make you feel responsible and proud? Then, this position might be the right opportunity for you.
Role and Responsibilities
With a strong position in semiconductor equipment market, the ASML Research department invents and develops new concepts and applications for future 2D patterning and 3D integration markets.
The mission of the Process and 3D Integration Modeling Researcher role is to conduct research that applies to ASML's holistic metrology, patterning, and 3D integration products, focusing on future applications in the semiconductor device manufacturing industry. This includes the development of process and integration models, designing wafer processing experiments, conducting literature studies, and creating innovative concepts and solutions.
Your responsibilities and daily activities will be:
- Performing analysis using data from customer fabs and research fabs, figuring out hidden patterns and underlying physical implications, engaging advanced data analytics where helpful,
- Developing computational models for processing steps, such as bonding, coating, polishing, and plasma etching, and organizing experiments for model validation and calibration,
- Collaborating with other domain experts and application experts in the project team and in other Departments of ASML, and with process integration engineers at research and customer fabs,
- Generating new ideas and solutions for ASML’s current and future metrology, patterning, and 3D integration products.
Education
You hold a PhD in physics, chemistry, material science, applied mathematics or electrical engineering with experience in computational modeling / numerical simulations.
Experience
- You possess a good experience in computational model development and calibration
- You have a proven background in extracting simplified, yet reasonably accurate model representations from complex physical and/or chemical processes/reactions
- You’re preferably experienced in cleanroom fabrication techniques or semiconductor manufacturing processing steps
- Experience with ASML Overlay or Alignment analysis will be advantageous
Skills
Working at the cutting edge of tech, you’ll always have new challenges and new problems to solve – and working together is the only way to do that. You won’t work in a silo. Instead, you’ll be part of a creative, dynamic work environment where you’ll collaborate with supportive colleagues. There’s always space for creative and unique points of view. You’ll have the flexibility and trust to choose how best to tackle tasks and solve problems.
To thrive in this job, you’ll need the following Skills:
- Ability to cooperate within a highly skilled team of experts towards a common goal
- Self-supporting skills and enthusiasm
- Inquisitive personality with an analytical view
- Commitment and motivation to achieve project outcomes
- Ability to see and develop the bigger picture
- Ability to communicate effectively in English across disciplines and at all organizational levels.
Context of position
Within ASML, the sector Research is responsible for creating ideas and solutions that contribute to the ASML roadmaps.
The group “Resist and Process Technology” is responsible for innovations and knowledge generation in the area of computational lithography and 3D integration. The group takes a holistic view to semiconductor patterning and 3D integration, where optimizing all processing steps together can yield more than optimizing each processing step independently. We work in small teams and deliver proof of concept solutions that can be transferred to Development & Engineering. We intensively collaborate with external research institutes and universities.
