Material Science Engineer at Albany

Material Science Engineer- Albany, NY

With the enhanced mission at SUNY CNSE in Albany for the development of semiconductor copper deposition technologies, the scientific and operational needs for materials science support is increasing. With the increased amount of R&D projects carried out by our Dual Damascene and 3D metallization groups, more materials science support is required analyzing copper deposits on various metrology instruments.

Principal Accountabilities:

The main focus of the position is to support the materials property analysis of deposited copper in Dual Damascene structures, and BEOL RDL and TSV structures using a high resolution focused ion beam / scanning electron microscopy (FIB/SEM).

The accountabilities include but are not limited to:

Using state-of-the-art high resolution inspection methods for analysis of deposited copper films in micron and sub-micron semiconductor structures

Preparing samples for high resolution imaging

Methods, operation tasks and material science results and interpretations should be documented and communicated to materials science team members and internal customers

Manage flow of samples from receiving at the lab to returning to internal customers

The position is linked to the two copper development teams in Albany (Dual Damascene and 3D integration) activities. The position supports both teams with materials science analysis. Analytical data is gathered on various instruments owned by our company and some owned by CNSE; these include FIB-SEM, confocal microscopy, argon mill cross sectioning tool, mechanical preparation, and others. Priorities for analysis are set by the R&D leaders and materials science team leader.

Minimum Requirements:

A Master degree in the science or engineering field or Bachelor degree with related experience equivalent to Master degree required.

The position requires 2+ years of experience using high resolution focused ion beam / scanning electron microscopy (FIB/SEM). Experience in industry and academics will be considered.

The position requires a good understanding in microscopy technologies and significant experience in operating different physical analytical instruments related to the field of microscopy.
