Your role:
Would you like to complete a (mandatory) internship in a technical environment or do you need support with your thesis (Bachelor, Master)? 
X-FAB's process engineering team in Erfurt/Germany will be the right place for you:

 

Topic 1: RIE nitride process optimization

During pore etching, holes are etched into the nitride membrane. The etching must stop on the underlying oxide. If the oxide is over-etched, it is no longer possible to process the wafer further and the wafer is scrapped.

The existing process is to be optimized in a series of tests.

The processor is to determine the remaining nitride/oxide thickness and the etching dimension with various parameter changes on some test wafers in order to evaluate his experiments.

Goal:

  • Improvement of homogeneity
  • More selective etching: silicon nitride to silicon dioxide
  • Etching dimension (lateral) should remain the same

Parameters:

  • Gas quantities
  • RF power
  • Pressure ranges
  • Etching times

Your profile:
You are an enrolled student (m/f/d) in a technical degree program with a focus on electrical engineering, automation technology, mechanical engineering, mechatronics, process engineering, technical physics or similar.

  • Basic knowledge of automation technology and logistics
  • Good handling of databases 
  • Basic knowledge of project work desirable
  • Good written and spoken German (at least B2) and English skills

 

Our benefits:

  • International and open environment
  • Specialized expertise
  • Cross-departmental cooperation
  • Very good transport connections & free parking spaces
  • Free drinks on site and much more.
