Job description
IBM s Systems and Technology Group is looking for technicians to join its Advanced Microelectronics Solutions Organization. The AMS organization is an end to end semiconductor supplier consisting of Semiconductor and Packaging Manufacturing Engineering and Test/Characterization organizations. In the 300mm state of the art manufacturing facility, as many as 135 solid, liquid and gaseous materials are used in different processes to create integrated circuits. Ultimately, a raw silicon wafer the size of an average dinner plate will be converted into devices with circuit dimensions ranging from 90nm down to 22nm - dimensions slightly bigger than one-thousandth the size of a single strand of human hair. The vehicle and track system that is at the heart of the manufacturing process is similar to a rail network. There are approximately 300 vehicles that take the wafers and transport them to the tools. At any point, hundreds of wafers are being processed in different tools and for different purposes for both IBM internal use and sale to external customers. All of these automated processes are monitored by software systems that run the tools, activate the processes and ensure that the wafers are in the right tool at the right time. The most exciting part about the IBM semiconductor factory is its full automation allows both development and manufacturing to occur on the same toolset. Nearly 700 tools are laid out in different parts of the factory floor. Each tool is designed to perform a certain function in the nearly 1,000-step process.
Available Positions: Semiconductor process technicians, maintenance technicians equipment technicians, test technicians.
Disciplines: Two year minimum technical degree or science based degree (Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical, Computer, or other science background)
