What this role is and why it existsYou are a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional with a passion for semiconductor physics and technology. With a PhD or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or Materials Sciences, you bring profound expertise in semiconductor devices and process technologies.## What you'll be doingGas phase and surface chemical reaction model development for etching and deposition processes (called as “topography simulation”) in logic, memory and power technologies.- Verification and validation of the developed models using available data.- Calibration of the models for specific customer applications- Development of database of such gas phase and surface reaction models for different applications- Providing consulting services to customers in the area of topography simulation and enhance the value of such TCAD tools for leading edge technologies.- Collaborating with R&D, sales, marketing, and customers to drive product development and acceptance.- Managing customer projects, including definition, execution, and follow-up.## What you'll need- PhD degree and 3-5 years of industry experience in Process or Chemical Engineering, Materials Sciences, Physics or STEM related field.- In-depth knowledge and experience in semiconductor process technology, especially in gas phase and surface reaction kinetics related to wet and dry deposition (e.g. CVD, PVD, ALD ) processes and wet and dry (e.g. RIE) etch processes.- Hands-on experience with academic or commercial plasma simulation tools and semiconductor reaction simulation and/or emulation tools (such as those based on Particle in Cell methods) and chemical reaction databases/tools (such as CHEMKIN).- Experience with statistical, optimization, AI/ML tools and Python scripting is a plus.## Why this mattersDevelop topography simulation methodologies for chemical reaction modeling and calibration for semiconductor deposition and etch processes. Improving the overall quality and functionality of our TCAD tools through topography modeling and calibration. Driving the successful adoption of our TCAD topography products in various customer projects. Contributing to product development through valuable feedback and collaborative efforts with R&D teams. Elevating Synopsys' market position as a leader in semiconductor technology and simulation tools. Fostering strong relationships with customers, leading to increased trust and long-term partnerships.
