**Key Responsibilities** + Zero defect methodology and troubleshoot at Applied's CoW hybrid bonding R&D center + Work on defectivity-related problems of wet and dry chambers and processes. Design systematic partition experiments, collect and analyze defectivity data, and identify particle sources and areas of improvement to meet defectivity requirements. + Work closely with process team to improve process adders through process optimization. + Propose and validate solutions to meet cleanliness roadmap and next generation defectivity requirements. Trigger and drive a multi-functional defect improvement team (engineering, process, & hardware) to prototype and implement solution. + Develop particle troubleshoot SoP and fan out to the entire global hybrid bonding team (both product and fields). Document defectivity learnings in database. Transfer learnings to field teams and new team members through tutorial sessions. Lead defectivity improvement projects at CoW hybrid bonding R&D center. + Defectivity subject-matter expect to support/guide field teams on defectivity troubleshoot. **Functional Knowledge** + Hands-on experience in defectivity inspection, particle troubleshoot, and improvement is essential. Expertise is highly desirable. + Understanding the principles, methodologies, and practical applications of common defectivity characterization techniques (such as SP2/3, AOI, SEM, EDS, airborne particle counter, TXRF etc.) is needed. + Backgrounds of any processing technologies in plasma, wet clean, thermal anneal, or WoW or CoW bonding is a plus. **Opportunities** + On-job training on CoW hybrid bonding processes and challenges + Oversea training by defectivity experts for defect reduction and design for defectivity concept + Technical training on/ exposure to up & downstream integration processes and interaction with hybrid bonding **Requirements** + > 3 years experiences in the field of defectivity improvement + 15% travel commitment to the US (California and Montana), Taiwan, Korea or Europe **Working Location** + Science Park II, Singapore **Qualifications** **Education:** Bachelor's Degree **Skills:** **Certifications:** **Languages:** **Years of Experience:** 4 - 7 Years **Work Experience:** **Additional Information** **Time Type:** Full time **Employee Type:** Assignee / Regular **Travel:** **Relocation Eligible:** No Applied Materials is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to diversity in the workplace.
