Intern - Lithography Process Development
Do you like working with technology that pushes the limits of what a whole industry can do? There's a reason Seagate is the world’s leading provider of storage devices. Our technology and products are second to none.
The Lithography Process Development group is looking for an engineering student with extraordinary potential to further our team’s lithography simulation capabilities through model development, optimization and execution of related experiments. As an intern you will get to work with a variety of our staff, while working on real projects that contribute to the development of next generation of magnetic recording heads. This summer internship position reports into the Wafer Process Development Team, located at Seagate's R&D site in Bloomington, MN.
About the group:
Our team’s mission is to develop new processes for state of the art recording head technology. Recording head process technology encompasses all disciplines employed in semiconductor wafer process technology, performed in a clean room environment.
About the role:
- develop technical understanding of leading edge lithography processes including photoresist processing, optical exposure and lithography related metrology
- learn to use industry standard lithography simulation tools to develop and optimize physical models of lithography processes
- learn how to design and execute experiments in support of lithography process development
- assist engineers in investigation of process failures and development of new processes through in-depth data analysis
- document and communicate your findings to the team and management on regular basis
- work with and learn from a team of experienced engineers with various engineering backgrounds
- contribute to development of the next generation of magnetic recording heads
About you:
- Current student pursuing a Masters or PhD in Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Material Science, Chemistry or Physics.
- Experience with physical modeling and simulation
- Demonstrated experience and working knowledge in statistics and data analysis
- Clear and effective verbal and written communication
- Ability to learn quickly and work independently
- GPA of 3.0 or higher
Your experience might include:
- Relevant course work and knowledge in one or more semiconductor processes: lithography, etch, plating, film deposition or metrology.
- Experience with Matlab, JMP and S-Litho or Prolith software packages
