About the role

We have an opening for a Semiconductor Fabrication Technologist or a Senior Semiconductor Fabrication Technologist. You will provide technical support to scientists and senior technical personnel in semiconductor-based technologies including chemical and material sampling, sample preparation, analysis, characterization, experimental development, experimental execution, data collection, interpretation, reporting, and management of hazardous wastes. Other responsibilities are ES&H compliance, code regulation or standards compliance, and working on complex technical projects.

Responsibilities

• Perform general microfabrication of devices using MEMS/semiconductor-based technologies, such as: Photolithography, Wet Chemistry, Plasma Etching, Thin Film Deposition (metals, dielectrics, polymers) sputtering, E-Beam, ALD, and Wafer Dicing.
• Measure, test, and analyze materials and substances following standard, and at times unique, procedures and techniques using analytical instruments such as microscopes, SEM, profilometers, and other analytical equipment.
• Provide solutions to technical problems. Support scientists with decision making to establish or modify techniques and procedures to choose appropriate work methods.
• Responsible for the safe and effective operation, testing, maintenance, and calibration of major scientific instruments and apparatus.
• Write equipment standard operating procedures.
• Work in a Class 100 cleanroom.
• Work with hazardous chemicals & gases and manage hazardous waste.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Requirements

• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. DOE Q-level security clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship.
• Associate degree in Microtechnology, Chemistry/Materials, Electronics or Engineering, or an equivalent combination of education and related experience.
• Experience in wet chemistry, photolithography, thin film deposition of materials, and plasma etching.
• Experience acquiring and analyzing basic data, keeping laboratory notebook, preparing data summaries of results, and helping to identify problems.
• Intermediate skills and understanding of relevant technologies and processes, including interpreting, and utilizing laboratory equipment.
• Proficient computer skills including knowledge of Microsoft Office.
