Project Title
Lithography Process Improvement & Automation Project
Department
Front-End Manufacturing - Lithography Process Engineering
Internship Duration
Minimum 5-6 months
Project Description
This internship provides students with structured exposure to semiconductor lithography processes through project-based learning. The intern will study existing lithography process flows, data, and work practices to identify opportunities for process improvement, automation, and business process optimization.
Under the guidance of process engineers, the intern will apply engineering, data analysis, and problem-solving methods to develop improvement concepts and proposals that enhance process robustness, efficiency, and standardization. This internship is designed as a learning and analytical role, not an operational role.
Learning Objectives
By the end of the internship, the student will be able to:

• Understand fundamental lithography process flows, controls, and key performance indicators.
• Apply structured problem-solving and continuous improvement methodologies in a manufacturing context.
• Analyze process and equipment data to identify gaps, trends, and improvement opportunities.
• Learn basic automation concepts and how they are applied to manufacturing and business processes.
• Develop technical documentation and presentations suitable for engineering reviews.

Project Scope
The intern will work on defined projects that may include:

• Studying existing lithography process flows, control strategies, and standard operating procedures to identify improvement opportunities.
• Analyzing historical process or equipment data to support yield, quality, or efficiency improvement studies.
• Developing concepts or prototypes for process automation or digitalization (e.g., scripts, logic flows, dashboards, or workflows).
• Evaluating current business processes related to lithography operations and proposing optimization or standardization improvements.
• Documenting findings, analyses, and recommendations in structured technical reports and presentations.
• Presenting project outcomes to engineering stakeholders at key milestones.

Deliverables

• Completion of at least two project-based continuous improvement initiatives, such as:
  • Process gap analysis with data-backed recommendations
  • Automation or digitalization concept (e.g., workflow, logic design, or prototype)
  • SOP or process documentation optimization proposal
• Final project report and presentation summarizing methodology, analysis, results, and recommendations.
• Interim updates or reviews aligned with project milestones.

Required Skillset

• Basic understanding of engineering or scientific principles.
• Ability to analyze data and present findings clearly.
• Familiarity with tools such as Excel, PowerPoint; programming or data tools (e.g., Python, SQL, Power BI) are a plus.
• Strong problem-solving, documentation, and communication skills.
• Willingness to learn in a structured manufacturing and engineering environment.

Course of Interest

• Chemical Engineering
• Electrical or Electronic Engineering
• Materials Science
• Mechanical Engineering
• Industrial Engineering
• Data Science or related engineering/science disciplines
