Department Advanced Technology and Solutions, Process Equipment Engineering, Chemical Mechanical Planarization

Project Title AI-Enabled Chemical Mechanical Planarization Process Optimization and Equipment Characterization

Project Description The intern will undertake a structured engineering project focused on Chemical Mechanical Planarization process optimization, equipment characterization, and manufacturing excellence within a semiconductor manufacturing environment.

The project will provide practical exposure to process and metrology data analysis, statistical methods, process capability assessment, material or equipment qualification, and Artificial Intelligence-Enabled engineering workflows. The intern will collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to develop and evaluate a solution that improves process performance, yield, cost efficiency, engineering productivity, or data accessibility.

Objective of the Project

• Analyze Chemical Mechanical Planarization process, metrology, equipment, and manufacturing data to identify trends and improvement opportunities.

• Apply statistical and AI-Assisted methods to evaluate process stability, capability, and performance.

• Develop a dashboard, analytics model, or automation solution that improves engineering productivity or data accessibility.

• Generate engineering recommendations for process optimization, equipment characterization, or qualification activities.

Opportunities for Full Time Employment Interns may be considered for future internship or full-time employment opportunities based on business requirements, available positions, and the applicable recruitment process.

Project Scope

• Analyze Chemical Mechanical Planarization process, metrology, equipment, and manufacturing datasets using statistical and AI-Assisted analytical methods.

• Conduct process characterization, capability assessment, and evaluation of selected materials, consumables, or equipment changes.

• Investigate a defined process-performance challenge with process, equipment, quality, and manufacturing stakeholders.

• Develop and evaluate an improvement that advances process stability, yield, cost efficiency, engineering productivity, or data visibility.

Learning Opportunities

• Gain practical exposure to Chemical Mechanical Planarization processes, equipment, metrology, and semiconductor manufacturing integration.

• Learn process characterization, statistical analysis, process capability assessment, and qualification methodologies.

• Develop familiarity with Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, data visualization, automation, and AI-Enabled engineering workflows.

• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams and communicate technical findings to relevant stakeholders.

Deliverables

• A technical report covering the project objectives, methodology, analytical results, conclusions, and engineering recommendations.

• Documented process-characterization, process-capability, or qualification results that inform engineering decisions.

• An AI-Enabled dashboard, analytics model, or automation tool that improves engineering productivity or data accessibility.

• A final presentation outlining the project outcomes, demonstrated impact, identified limitations, and future improvement opportunities.

• The internal internship programme identifies project presentations to department leaders and interim or final reports and presentations as internship completion components.

Impact of the Project

• Improve the visibility and interpretation of Chemical Mechanical Planarization process and equipment data.

• Strengthen process characterization and data-informed engineering decision-making.

• Identify opportunities to improve process stability, yield, cost efficiency, or engineering productivity.

• Demonstrate a scalable AI-Enabled or automated approach for future process-engineering applications.

Skillsets Required

• Strong analytical, structured problem-solving, and experimental data-interpretation skills.

• Familiarity with statistical analysis, Design of Experiments, process capability assessment, or data-visualization methods.

• Basic knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing, materials science, chemical processes, mechanical engineering, or equipment engineering.

• Familiarity with Artificial Intelligence tools, machine learning, AI Assistants, Generative AI, or other AI-Enabled analytical workflows.

• The internal template requires AI proficiency or familiarity with AI tools and AI-Enabled workflows when relevant. Its comparable quality analytics example identifies statistical analysis, machine learning, data analytics tools, and analytical problem-solving as appropriate intern skillsets.

Course of Interest The ideal candidate should be pursuing a degree in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Data Science, Computer Science, or a related field.

Duration of Period The ideal candidate should be able to commit to a full time internship period of 5 months form Jan to May 2027.
