Project Title
Cumulative Error Variation Reduction in Staircase and Chop Etch Processes
Project Description
Analyze manufacturing process and measurement data to identify sources of cumulative error variation within advanced-technology staircase and chop etch processes. Develop data-driven control strategies and process improvement recommendations to reduce variation and improve inline process stability.
The project will provide exposure to dry etch processes, staircase flow integration, statistical analysis, data visualization, and the etching mechanisms relevant to semiconductor process control.
Project Scope
Understand the measurement methodology and process mechanisms used to define cumulative error within the staircase formation loop.
Analyze process and measurement data to identify factors contributing to cumulative error variation.
Apply statistical analysis and data visualization techniques to evaluate relationships between process conditions and cumulative error performance.
Develop potential control strategies to reduce cumulative error variation.
Recommend opportunities to improve process margins and inline stability.
Learning Opportunities
Gain hands-on experience in semiconductor process data analysis and troubleshooting.
Develop a deeper understanding of dry etch processes, staircase flow integration, and lateral and vertical etching mechanisms.
Apply statistical analysis, data visualization, and AI-enabled workflows to an engineering project.
Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams and subject matter experts.
Develop technical storytelling and presentation skills.
Deliverables
Source-of-variation analysis for cumulative error within the staircase formation loop.
Data visualizations summarizing key findings and process relationships.
At least one proposed control strategy or process improvement idea.
Recommendations for improving process margins and inline stability.
Final internship project presentation to department leadership.
