College Intern - PSE Metrology

About the role

Applied Materials, a global leader in materials science and engineering solutions for semiconductors and advanced displays, offers a full-time internship in PSE metrology in Singapore. The program gives hands-on exposure to semiconductor manufacturing and the role of Critical Dimension Scanning Electron Microscope (CDSEM) metrology in process control.

Key responsibilities

• Learn the semiconductor wafer fabrication process flow and the role of metrology in process control.
• Learn the fundamentals of SEM technology and CDSEM operation.
• Gain practical experience in CDSEM recipe setup and optimization.
• Understand how CDSEM measurement data supports process monitoring, excursion detection and yield improvement through SPC methods.
• Interact with customers, applications engineers and factory personnel to build communication skills.
• Contribute to improving tool-to-tool matching methodologies to improve measurement consistency across CDSEM platforms.

Required profile

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, Electronics, Semiconductor Technology or a related technical discipline.
• Strong interest in semiconductor manufacturing, metrology and process control.
• Analytical mindset with strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
• Ability to interpret technical data and identify trends or anomalies.
• Effective communication and collaboration with engineers, technicians and customers.
• Self-motivated, detail-oriented and able to work independently within a team.

Required skills

• Basic understanding of data analysis and statistics; familiarity with SPC concepts is an advantage.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint.
• Knowledge of data analysis tools such as Python, JMP or Minitab is a plus.
• Basic understanding of microscopy, imaging systems or semiconductor process technology is advantageous but not required.
