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 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.

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.

How much do lithography engineers make?

Lithography engineers typically earn a median annual salary ranging from $70,000 to $120,000, depending on experience, education, and location. Senior roles or those with specialized skills in photolithography and equipment operation can earn higher salaries, often exceeding $150,000 annually.

Job description

Overview
The Microcircuit Emulation Center at SRI International (formerly Sarnoff Corporation) is looking for a Research Scientist, electron beam lithography to support the development of electron beam lithography for manufacturing of microcircuits (integrated circuits). Through SRI's Generalized Emulation of Microcircuits (GEM) and Advanced Microcircuit Emulation (AME) programs, the Microcircuit Emulation Center supplies form, fit, function, and interface replacements for obsolete microcircuits. This capability supports production, redesign, and sustainment requirements for the life of a weapon system. SRI's Microcircuit Emulation Center is a government-supported, U.S.-based Trusted foundry. This role is onsite at our Princeton, NJ office. LOOK AT OUR WORK!
Responsibilities
The successful candidate will have an interest in learning about integrated circuit manufacturing and how electron-beam lithography can support the manufacturing process.
Responsibilities will include:
  • E-beam development to complement the existing MEC microcircuit manufacturing processing capabilities.
  • Develop electron-beam lithography processes (wafer coat, exposure and development) to support full-wafer, low-volume, wafer fabrication for legacy microcircuits.
  • Sustaining, improving, and optimizing electron-beam lithography processing to increase throughput for legacy microcircuits.
  • Working with cross functional teams (Engineering, Integration, Design and Layout) to develop processes and integrate into the current production wafer processing capabilities.
  • Data collection, correlation, interpretation, and presentation of information to management and co-workers.

Qualifications
  • B.S. chemistry, physics, electrical engineering, or an equivalent field required.
  • Due to Government requirements candidates must be a US Citizen or Permanent Resident.
  • Experienced with electron-beam lithography theory, data perpetration and process development required.
  • Past use of JEOL electron beam systems and GenISys Beamer data preparation software is desired.
  • Knowledge of semiconductor processing.
  • Ability to troubleshoot problems and to document solutions.
  • Demonstrated analytical and systematic teamwork approach to troubleshooting.
  • Must be able to work in a clean room environment up to 75% of the workday and perform flexible shift work when required.
  • Strong communication skills, both verbal and written, to describe ongoing work and discuss issues include creating PowerPoints and presenting analysis.
  • Able to work on site Monday - Friday, starting at 8:30am, with an 8-hour workday.

The salary range is: $63,873-$84,636. Salary ranges will vary and are based on several factors, including geographic location, market competitiveness and equity amongst internal employees in similar roles. Positions may also qualify for SRI's Pay for Outstanding Performance program or the annual Performance Based Compensation program. SRI also has a competitive benefits package, to view details please go to https://www.sri.com/resources/benefits/. SRI will accept applications until the position is filled.
SRI is an independent nonprofit research institute headquartered in Menlo Park, Calif., with a rich history of supporting government and industry. We create and deliver world-changing solutions for a safer, healthier, and more sustainable future. For more than 75 years, we have collaborated across technical and scientific disciplines to discover and develop groundbreaking products and technologies and bring innovations and ideas to the marketplace.
