CFA-Micro Lens Engineer
- Site: Nampa, Idaho
Aptina Imaging is a division of Micron Technology. As an CFA-Micro Lens Engineer you will be located in Nampa, Idaho, responsible for working with advanced color filter and micro lens materials that meet Aptina’s current and future roadmap. This position is for a fast-learning, highly motivated individual who enjoys creative but detail oriented R&D work and who works well with a variety of people across the imaging and manufacturing organizations. Familiarity with lithography materials, processing and tooling is desired. Good written and oral communication skills, ability to communicate effectively with suppliers and other team members, follow fab procedures and provide ongoing feedback on current projects. At least basic knowledge of major Fab and engineering software tools is required. Has a good understanding of, and the capability to analyze results of basic chemical and physical thin film analysis and characterization techniques. The candidate must be willing and able to explore new technological areas with little to no literature to go back to and translate the findings rapidly into manufacturable processes.
Successful candidates for this position will have:
- Minimum 5 years of lithography process experience, preferably a mix in R&D and manufacturing. Prior CFA processing experience is a plus..
- A highly motivated, goal-oriented personality
- Define, develop and implement novel color filter process approaches to support Aptina’s imager roadmap.
- Design test methods and characterize process results to help solve issues/problems with the imager chip that is defined to be CFA related.
- Work with other Imager teams to understand requirements of the color resist and microlens for new part types. Ensure compatibility with previous and subsequent processes to optimize the entire system of photo sensor device, color filter, planarizing layers, micro lens, final overcoats and assembly.
- Focal point for future Color Filter Array (CFA) and Microlens process implementation for new part types incl. new materials and process definition / selection.
- Coordinate the selection of tools as well as the processing approach for new Imager CFA/Microlens parts
- Ensure that new process and materials performance meets Aptina’s defect, spectral and manufacturability requirements.
- Support CFA reliability evaluations for thermal and light stability
- Communicate with other PI , PE, Production Fab, Probe, Characterization and Assembly engineers and be informed about their requirements for the CFA process and materials.
- Document experiments in a clear and concise manner and train and educate fellow team members on new processes.
- Proficiency in the use of common software packages (Word, Excel, PP, SharePoint, JMP (or equivalent) and Excel).
