What is lithography?

A Lithography job involves working with photolithography processes used in semiconductor manufacturing to pattern and transfer circuit designs onto silicon wafers. This role includes operating lithography equipment, troubleshooting process issues, and ensuring precise alignment and resolution of patterns. Lithography engineers or technicians collaborate with other semiconductor professionals to optimize process performance and improve yield. They often work in cleanroom environments and use advanced optical or EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) lithography technologies to create smaller, more efficient chips.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in lithography?

To thrive in lithography, you need strong attention to detail, mechanical aptitude, and a solid understanding of printing processes, typically supported by technical training or experience in manufacturing or print production. Familiarity with lithography equipment, process control tools, and safety procedures is essential, and certifications in print technology can be advantageous. Good problem-solving, time management, and teamwork are important soft skills for this role. These strengths ensure high-quality output, efficient operation, and safe handling of sophisticated machinery in a fast-paced printing environment.

What does a lithography professional do?

Daily responsibilities for a lithography professional typically include setting up and maintaining printing presses, preparing plates and materials, monitoring print runs for quality control, and troubleshooting any process issues. You may also be responsible for routine equipment maintenance, adjusting ink levels, and ensuring adherence to safety and production standards. Collaboration often occurs with prepress technicians, quality assurance teams, and supervisors to ensure that projects meet deadlines and client specifications. This role is hands-on and detail-oriented, making strong organizational skills valuable for success.

Job description

Job Title: R&D Engineer - Dry Process (Plasma Etch /Plasma Ablation/ PVD) Expert for Advanced Packaging applications
Location: Covington, GA
Job Type: Full-Time
About Us: Absolics is a leading provider of advanced packaging technologies and services, offering scalable solutions for businesses of high-performance computing. We offer smart, innovative services to dozens of clients globally. By dedicating our efforts to establishing large glass substrates with built-in active and passive elements, our goal is to provide significant improvement in signaling characteristics and power consumption compared to existing solutions.
Job Description:
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Dry Process Engineer to join our R&D team. In this role you will lead development of dry processing capabilities across plasma etch, physical vapor deposition, and plasma-based ablation steps for fabricating advanced packaging interconnect structures. This role sits at the intersection of thin-film metallization and dielectric patterning, requiring you to steer equipment and process qualification, process recipe development, and integration handoffs with lithography, wet process, and plating teams. You will be a primary technical owner for vacuum-based unit processes in a hands-on, early-stage R&D environment where design of experiment planning capabilities and rigorous root-cause analysis both matter.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop and qualify plasma etch, PVD seed deposition, and plasma ablation processes for RDL build up and interconnect structures
  • Help establish process flows that enable control of film uniformity, required via or trench step coverage and taper/sidewall profile, and layer-to-layer adhesion across the various plasma-based sub processes
  • Establish recipes and tune plasma chemistry and tool parameters to optimize etch selectivity and minimize defects (micro-masking, residue, undercut)
  • Perform root-cause and failure analysis on dry-process defects using SEM, XPS/AES, and electrical metrology
  • Assess plasma-induced damage risk (charging, UV effects) on dielectrics and downstream reliability
  • Collaborate with wet process and plating teams to ensure clean handoff of seed layers and trench/via structures

Required Skills
  • Hands-on experience with plasma etch process development (RIE, ICP, or barrel plasma) in a semiconductor or packaging environment
  • Direct experience with PVD sputter deposition of seed layers (Ti, TiW, Ta, Cu) including thickness uniformity, step coverage, and adhesion control
  • Experience with plasma-based dielectric ablation techniques/descum on organic or inorganic dielectrics (ABF, PBO, PSPI, polyimide)
  • Working knowledge of plasma chemistry fundamentals (O₂, CF₄, SF₆, Ar, N₂ chemistries) and their etch selectivity tradeoffs
  • Proficiency with vacuum system fundamentals: chamber pressure control, RF/ICP power coupling, gas flow control, end-point detection
  • Metrology and characterization skills: SEM, profilometry, XPS or AES for surface composition, four-point probe for film resistivity
  • DOE design and statistical analysis for process optimization (Minitab, JMP, or equivalent)
  • Root-cause and failure analysis experience for etch defects (micro-masking, undercut, residue, via taper control)

Preferred Skills
  • Experience with plasma descum/etch-back for via clean prior to metallization (organic dielectric residue removal)
  • Familiarity with PECVD or ALD for inorganic dielectric or barrier films (SiN, SiO₂, SiCN)
  • Experience tuning trench taper angle, sidewall profile, and CD bias for fine-pitch micro structures (≤10 µm)
  • Knowledge of dry plasma Ti seed removal as an alternative to wet etch (selectivity to underlying Cu RDL)
  • Familiarity with plasma uniformity modeling, chamber matching, or tool-to-tool variation reduction
  • Cross-process integration experience linking dry etch outcomes to downstream plating or CMP performance
  • Experience with reliability impact assessment of plasma-induced damage (charging, UV exposure effects on dielectrics)

Education
  • Ph.D. in Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or related field preferred
  • M.S. with 3+ years of relevant industry or research experience considered

Benefits:
  • 401K 6% matching (NO vesting period)
  • Healthcare 100% support (Health, Dental, Vision)
  • Life, STD, LTD 100 % support
  • Cell phone allowance
  • PTO and self-development

SALARY:
  • $90,000 - $150,000
