Working at ST means innovating for a future that we want to make smarter, greener, in a responsible and sustainable way. Our technology starts with you. Join us and start the future! You will be a key contributor to SiC Technology volume ramp-up in ST. The work location will be in the new mass-production fab in Catania for the manufacturing of SiC substrate wafers, this facility will be a first of a kind in Europe for the production in volume of SiC epitaxial substrates, integrating all steps in the production flow. Strong link is maintained with STMicroelectronics Silicon Carbide AB, located in Norrköping, Sweden, with opportunities for on-site training and collaboration. STMicroelectronics Silicon Carbide AB, previously named Norstel AB, is the ST competence center in SiC material technology: the company has been developing silicon carbide for 20 years, first at Linköping University, and since 2006 in a dedicated production facility in Norrköping. You will be part of the Process Engineering team working in Wafer Finishing processes group, as specialist of the Chemical-Mechanical Polishing (CMP) process step.
The focus of the group will be to ensure a smooth transition between the R&D; activities and the mass-production fab and to maintain high product quality, defining process flows and recipes, ensuring equipment performances, understanding and exploiting the interactions between different process steps. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Lead the process steps transfer from the R&D; fab to the High-Volume Manufacturing fab with focus on chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) process
