Introduction to the job

Do you want to contribute and participate in the design of most advanced PASML scanners? From assessment of imaging capabilities to utilization of the scanner at Customer?

Are you fascinated by lithography, interested in deep fundamental physics understanding and energetic about explorative work?


Please contact us today. We currently have an exciting opportunity for an Imaging Engineer in ASML’s Performance & Integration department.


As an Imaging Engineer you will be a key player in making the performance of our scanners meet our customer’s demands. Within the D&E EUV System Performance department, we have formed a customer imaging team. In this team we explore technology options to enhance the performance of our scanners taking the whole ecosystem into account. The outcome of the work will be input for new product design choices as well as direct customer process updates.  

Role and Responsibilities

Our customers make computer chips. To successfully do so our scanners need to match the image our customers intend to reproduce on their wafers as closely as possible. The closer the image created by the scanner resembles the intended image, the better the scanner imaging performance.

As such our customers demand machines and tooling capable to image future node functionality, including among others pattern shrink and increasing pattern complexity at increasing productivity and HVM capabilities. It is our task to understand the future requirements of our customer, and explore technology solutions enabling these lithographic requirements. The typical work entails studies covering all aspects of lithography, and encompass next to our scanners, reticle and resist technologies, SMO, OPC among others.

We will help you to develop expertise in how design choices in scanner Hardware and Software and choices in the application (such as scanner settings ,mask and resist processes), influence imaging performance. You will need to understand how imaging performance in general is important to our customers, why different device architecture demands different scanner requirements and how the ASML application portfolio and capabilities landscape looks like. In computational lithography we do this mainly via extensive simulations. Pending study goals we also do matching of these simulation results with experimental data.

In this field, you as imaging engineer will be challenged to:

  • Perform path finding imaging analysis to support customer roadmaps.
  • Predict imaging performance for future products by means of sophisticated simulation tools
  • Do printability assessments on specific design driving customer layers and optimize the performance.
  • Support customer node transition with dedicated imaging prediction and verification by experiments.
  • Communicate with a wide range of stakeholders such as (system) engineers of various scanner components, marketing, suppliers (e.g. Zeiss), external partners (e.g. IMEC) and possibly customers
  • Share results in clear documents and presentations.
  • Share skills and competences to peers.

You will be part of a group of imaging performance people. You will share competence, knowledge and best known methods with each other to work as efficient as possible.

Working at ASML as an Imaging Engineer enables you to see real impact of your work in daily life. You will find an open environment, offering myriad possibilities to take charge of your career, to be inspired and to have fun together with fellow team members

Education and experience

Solid technical background (MSc/PhD in physics, optics, nano technology or related).

  • Experience (> 2 years) in the semiconductor industry, preferably in lithography. (is a pre)
  • Solid knowledge of statistics, and experience with exploratory data analysis and Design Of Experiments
  • Knowledge of and experience with lithography, lithographic imaging and simulations (HyperLith, ProLith etc), and ASML scanners is a pre
  • Strong programming skills (Python and/or MatLab, etc)
  • Ability to generate and analyze large data volumes

Skills

Working at the cutting edge of tech, you’ll always have new challenges and new problems to solve – and working together is the only way to do that. You won’t work in a silo. Instead, you’ll be part of a creative, dynamic work environment where you’ll collaborate with supportive colleagues. There is always space for creative and unique points of view. You’ll have the flexibility and trust to choose how best to tackle tasks and solve problems. To thrive in this job, you’ll need the following Skills:

  • Eager to learn and go in depths to understand the physics.
  • Ability to extract valuable information and formulate conclusions and follow-up.
  • Motivated, fast learner, proactive and speaks up.
  • Both team player and an independent researcher
  • Self-propelling with a lot of initiative and drive. Able to initiate, influence, steer.
  • Potential and ambition to grow to senior engineer position.


Other information

The Performance & Integration department is part of the Development and Engineering sector of ASML. We predict and optimize how our scanners will perform in their natural habitat: our customer’s wafer fab. We perform this task for EUV scanners.

This position may require access to controlled technology, as defined in the Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. § 730, et seq.). Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to access such controlled technology prior to beginning work. Business demands may require ASML to proceed with candidates who are immediately eligible to access controlled technology.
