Job Description:

  • Analyze bonding process performance (yield, scrap rate, UPH, Cp/Cpk) relative to production requirements and customer specifications.

  • Analyze and audit bonding process failures (e.g., NSOP, weak/low pull strength, lifted bonds, voiding, delamination, misalignment) and develop cost-effective solutions.

  • Assess the need for bonding process changes based on defect trends, equipment capability, material changes, or new product requirements.

  • Conduct experiments, DOE, and statistical studies to improve bonding quality, reliability, cost efficiency, and safety performance.

  • Assist in transferring new bonding technologies, materials, and R&D developments into stable and controlled mass production.

  • Investigate bonding process trends and correlations, equipment failures, quality system deviations, and reject causes to identify root causes and corrective actions.
