Eindhoven, Noord-Brabant, Nederland ASML Voltijd
Background Information

ASML's Sensors Mechanics group is part of the Mechanical Development cluster, responsible for designing optical sensor systems, including wafer height measurement systems and image sensors. The group's development portfolio includes various image sensors, which are used to measure parameters such as the position of the focal plane of the projection lens, light energy, optical aberrations, and the position of the stage with respect to a reference. These sensors feature a camera or sensor covered with a glass plate containing optical markers, which are glued to the sensor housing using a 2-component epoxy. The glue connection must be highly stable over time, as any deviations can compromise the quality of the integrated circuit produced by our customer. A significant challenge in achieving this stability is the outgassing that occurs when the glue is exposed to the vacuum inside our scanners. Given the limited in-scanner test time, an offline platform is needed to test potential improvements.

Your Assignment

Your task is to set up and conduct experiments to investigate and improve the drift inherent to some performance-critical glue connections. Available set-ups at ASML and elsewhere will need to be evaluated to determine their suitability and how to leverage them effectively. You will need to assess the instrument's accuracy, select suitable samples, and design a stable support system. Additionally, you will be responsible for processing the results and presenting them in a meaningful way. If time allows, you may have the opportunity to transform your ideas into prototypes to demonstrate feasibility and performance on your set-up.

Your Profile

To be considered for this role, you should possess the following qualifications:

  • Master's degree in mechanical engineering, physics, or a related field
  • Self-motivated, solution-oriented, and communicative individual with a proactive approach and hands-on mentality to conduct glue experiments, including analyses

This is a graduation/apprentice internship, lasting 5 days a week for 5-9 months, starting in September. Please note that we can only consider students who are enrolled at a school for the entire duration of the internship.

Becoming an intern at ASML offers a unique opportunity to gain valuable experience in a highly innovative environment. You will work in a dynamic team, receive practical guidance from experts in the field, and have the chance to contribute to the development of cutting-edge technology. In addition to a monthly internship allowance of up to €600 (plus possible housing allowance and free public transport), you will be part of a global industry leader that is shaping the future of technology.
