[Career Experience]
My first career experience was in the WET Clean Process Engineer. In addition to handling complex affair, I also had to delve into literature in that field and collaborate with different departments to generate new ideas to solve problems, design improvement experiments DOE/ CIP , It was a specialized role that required expertise. Currently, I am working in Process Integration Engineer, which involves a broader range of responsibilities. I am responsible for handling (1) Platform Transfer and (2) Mass Production stages.
(1) PlatformTransfer primarily involves working on new technology platforms for Tape Out. In the initial stage, I have to confirm the Process Design Kit (DRC, EDR, SPICE Model...), conduct pi-run processes, and analyze electrical windows. During this period, I solve Vt offset issues and Ioff leakage by studying the characteristics of the device and corresponding impacting processes such as Implant, Thin Film .
(2) In the Mass Production Stage, my task is on inline Cpk/defect analysis and sorting common tools to improve yield. With my previous process experience and expertise in Wet Clean, I can design BEOL WET/Thin Film CIP to improve process cleanliness targeting defect models.
[Efficiency Management]
<Learn → Communicate → Select & Observe → Work Efficiency>
In the workplace, tasks are not only complex but also urgency. Being chased by work is part of daily life. Therefore, how to allocate time and communicate with others has become a learning topic for me. In my career life, through observing and learning from my colleagues, I have come to understand the importance of thinking ahead before starting a task, choosing the best time to prioritize important matters, observing for shortcuts, or establishing my own set of SOP. This enables me to quickly get on track, improve my personal work efficiency, and increase productivity .
