About this role
Physics | Engineering internship: predictive imaging diagnostics Beschrijving Introduction Within the Customer Support Applications Business Support (CS ABS) department in Veldhoven, you will join a team dedicated to keeping advanced lithography systems performing at their best in customer fabs worldwide. When on-product performance issues arise, for example when printed feature dimensions on a chip deviate from specification, it is our role, together with local support teams around the world, to identify the root cause and ensure the issue is resolved. This requires investigating a wide range of scanner characteristics, including aberrations, focus, dose, illumination, and many other system parameters that influence imaging performance. Your Assignment In this internship, you will focus on making root-cause analysis faster, more efficient, and more predictive. Because more than 30 scanner subsystems can influence imaging performance, collecting, analyzing, and visualizing performance qualification data must be highly automated. You will develop methods to consolidate key performance indicators into an intuitive dashboard and investigate statistical approaches to quickly identify deviations by comparing scanner behavior against a population of reference systems. In addition, different customer chip layouts and pattern types exhibit varying sensitivities to scanner deviations. You will explore how simulated or calculated on-product sensitivities can be combined with scanner performance data to predict the impact on product performance and identify the most likely contributors to a performance issue. Your main responsibilities will be: - Develop an automated dashboard to collect, analyze, and visualize scanner performance data. - Explore statistical methods for automated outlier detection within a scanner population. - Apply scanner sensitivity models to translate scanner performance metrics into expected on-product performa...
