Job Title: Semiconductor FAB Technician Location: Fremont, CA Job Summary
The Semiconductor FAB Technician is responsible for operating, monitoring, and maintaining equipment used in semiconductor wafer fabrication. The role involves working in a cleanroom environment to support manufacturing processes, ensure equipment uptime, and maintain product quality according to standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safety standards.
Key Responsibilities 1. Equipment Operation & Maintenance
Operate semiconductor fabrication tools (e.g., lithography, etch, deposition, diffusion, metrology) following defined SOPs.
Perform routine equipment start-up, calibration, and shutdown procedures.
Execute preventive and corrective maintenance tasks as scheduled.
Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve minor equipment or process issues.
Collaborate with equipment and process engineers for advanced troubleshooting and yield improvement.
2. Process & Quality Control
Adhere strictly to process specifications and quality standards.
Perform in-line inspections and measurements to ensure wafer quality.
Record process data and enter information into MES (Manufacturing Execution System).
Monitor equipment alarms and respond to deviations promptly.
Support root cause analysis for process excursions or defects.
3. Safety & Cleanroom Compliance
Maintain strict cleanroom discipline and follow contamination control procedures.
Handle chemicals, gases, and materials safely per EHS (Environmental, Health & Safety) guidelines.
Participate in safety training and report unsafe conditions or incidents immediately.
4. Documentation & Reporting
Maintain accurate logs of operations, maintenance, and incidents.
Assist in developing and updating work instructions and checklists.
Provide feedback to engineers to improve process stability and efficiency.
Required Qualifications
Diploma or Bachelor s degree in Electronics, Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Semiconductor Technology.
1 3 years of experience in semiconductor FAB operations or related high-tech manufacturing preferred.
Familiarity with equipment such as CVD, PVD, RTP, CMP, Etch, Lithography, or Metrology tools.
Basic understanding of SPC (Statistical Process Control), vacuum systems, and cleanroom protocols.
Willingness to work in rotational shifts and cleanroom environments (Class 10/1000).
Strong attention to detail, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities.
Preferred Skills
Experience using MES, SPC, and yield management systems.
Knowledge of semiconductor process flow and defect analysis.
Good communication skills and ability to follow technical instructions.
Hands-on experience with troubleshooting electrical/mechanical systems.
Work Environment
Cleanroom environment requiring gowning, mask, and safety equipment.
Exposure to high-purity gases, vacuum tools, and chemical processing systems.
Shift-based operation (Day/Night).
