Introduction to the job
ASML US,
including its affiliates and subsidiaries, bring together the most creative
minds in science and technology to develop lithography machines that are key to
producing faster, cheaper, more energy-efficient microchips. We design,
develop, integrate, market and service these advanced machines, which enable
our customers - the world's leading chipmakers - to reduce the size and
increase the functionality of their microchips, which in turn leads to smaller,
more powerful consumer electronics. Our headquarters are in Veldhoven,
Netherlands, and we have 18 office locations around the United States including
main offices in Chandler, Arizona, San Jose and San Diego, California,
Wilton, Connecticut, and Hillsboro, Oregon.Job Mission
The
selected candidate will join our Field Application team in Boise ID to support
our key customer on daily basis. He/she will play a key role in enabling our
business success through inspection and/or metrology recipe development for
customer's yield improvement and provide input to internal stakeholders on
customer needs and gaps.

This position may require access to controlled
technology, as defined in the Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. *
730, et seq.). Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to access such

recipes using world's most advanced e-beam inspection (EBI) equipment for
defect detection and CD monitoring, to help customer improve their
semiconductor process yield.

Generate and monitor results from inline defect inspection
or CD Metrology results, making sure data quality meets or exceeds the
customer's requirement to improve yield and transfer process technologies to
high-volume manufacturing. Drive up HMI tool's utilization through high quality
recipe development, gap defect closure and in-depth technical engagement with
customer defect and metrology teams.

Execute routine recipe and new product focused
projects at customer site. Work closely with the technical support team and
R&D to secure the success. Support application activities in global
customer Fabs, attending meetings across time zones. Identify conditions to
close gap defects, implement tool and procedural CIP, Coordinate transfer of recipes
from TD to HVM. Generating reports and BKMs for new application cases and sharing
with global Application teams is an essential deliverable for the field
application engineering role.

Additionally, the role supports product
development by identifying gaps between tool's capability and customer
detection & metrology needs, providing feedback to Marketing and R&D

and documenting bugs. Work with Field Service to verify tool status after preventative
maintenance and tool down incidents. Collaborate with second and third-line
support teams to troubleshoot and resolve issues in a timely manner.
Education and experience
Master's degree in Physics, Material Science, Electrical Engineering, or other related engineering fields.PhD degree is desired.
At least 3 years of relevant, work related experience with semiconductor "fab-based" automated scanning electron microscopes. Direct experience with voltage contrast inspection techniques is preferred. Candidates with optical defect inspection experience are encouraged to apply.
Demonstrable knowledge of Semiconductor processing and device physics, as well as the ability to describe the core elements of DRAM and 3D NAND memory technologies. Familiarity with Graphic Design System (GDS), Electronic Design Automation (EDA) or other software packages for yield analysis and reporting is a plus.
The role also requires data reduction and analysis, using MATLAB, JMP or Python scripting to improve workflows, troubleshoot, and presenting to customers and internal stakeholders.
A successful candidate will deliver robust inspection applications on cutting-edge equipment while working in a fast-paced and demanding production environment. Time management, customer management, prioritization, and problem solving skills are key to success on the job and career growth opportunities.
Defect inspection applications are developed on the e-beam inspection tool and through off-line analysis of images, measurement gauges and GDS layers. Recipes are developed cooperatively with the customer.
Travel up to 25%, in Boise or internationally is required. Skills
