Research & development - Leuven | More than two weeks ago
Bonding processes with enhanced overlay accuracy and wafer distortion control will enable new integration options to fabricate future logic, memory, RF, photonic, imager, MEMS… devices. Bonding approaches used in layer transfer technologies allow the introduction of backside power delivery networks and even backside source contacts. Controlling and optimizing wafer distortion during bonding is essential for these applications, as overlay requirements are very tight for future technology nodes. Appropriate scanner corrections will mitigate wafer distortion partially, but bonding conditions also need to be adapted to avoid distortions over a short length scale which are difficult to correct during litho exposures. Furthermore, the bonding imprint needs to be very reproducible to enable batch corrections and increase throughput. All of these aspects will have to be assessed in detail.
As a member of the MAterial Transfer (MAT) team, you will be responsible for executing and optimizing W2W bonding processes. Furthermore, you will have to analyse metrology data obtained during bonding (e.g. bond wave) in-depth. You will have to link these bond metrology data with post-bond overlay measurements and propose W2W bonding process adjustments to minimize short range wafer distortions mainly at the wafer centre and edge regions. As an R&D process engineer you will work closely together with other researchers to push newly developed processes to a higher maturity level and, in the end, transfer these processes to imec’s pilot line.
As an R&D W2W bonding Engineer you will have a significant number of responsibilities and will therefore be highly influential in helping to achieve the team’s goals and targets.
