About this role
Support a balance of sustaining, optimization, and qualification of wafer fabrication processes, including etch, and deposition and photolithography. These processes are applied to both existing and new technology generations of Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs). Participate in the development of wafer process recipes, operational procedures, and provide other support needed to qualify new tools needed for the release of an additional PIC wafer manufacturing site. Collect, interpret, and respond to wafer fab statistical process control (SPC) data in the etch, and deposition, and photolithography modules. Improve existing processes of record in the PIC wafer fab in terms of yield, cycle time, and manufacturability. Support the wafer fab engineering and operations teams to develop, control and optimize wafer fabrication processes.
