How do they match: Semiconductor Processing Technicians

  • Perform any or all of the following functions in the manufacture of electronic semiconductors: load semiconductor material into furnace; saw formed ingots into segments; load individual segment into crystal growing chamber and monitor controls; locate crystal axis in ingot using x-ray equipment and saw ingots into wafers; and clean, polish, and load wafers into series of special purpose furnaces, chemical baths, and equipment used to form circuitry and change conductive properties.

  • Calculate etching time based on thickness of material to be removed from wafers or crystals.
  • Inspect materials, components, or products for surface defects and measure circuitry, using electronic test equipment, precision measuring instruments, microscope, and standard procedures.
  • Load semiconductor material into furnace.
  • Measure and weigh amounts of crystal growing materials, mix and grind materials, load materials into container, and monitor processing procedures to help identify crystal growing problems.

  • Calculate specific material, equipment, or labor requirements for production.
  • Cut industrial materials in preparation for fabrication or processing.
  • Engrave designs, text, or other markings onto materials, workpieces, or products.
  • Load materials into production equipment.
  • Mount materials or workpieces onto production equipment.
  • Move products, materials, or equipment between work areas.
  • Read work orders or other instructions to determine product specifications or materials requirements.
  • Sort materials or products for processing, storing, shipping, or grading.
