Internship Responsibilities
The Process Engineering Intern will investigate leakage mechanisms in flowable low-k SiOCH films, employing I-V measurements and structural analysis techniques such as FTIR and XPS. This project emphasizes correlating material structure with leakage behavior, strictly adhering to ASM’s intellectual property protection protocols by utilizing generalized or literature-based conditions.
Working with dummy samples that mimic typical low-k films (SiOCH-based), the intern will conduct I-V and C-V testing to develop leakage models (e.g., Poole-Frenkel, tunneling) and utilize FTIR/XPS for assessing bonding states and material composition. The experimental setup will follow a two-factor Design of Experiments (DOE), focusing on parameters like temperature and cure time. Analysis will center on model fitting and the relationship between structural and electrical properties, ensuring all deliverables are reviewed and anonymized to protect sensitive content.
