Responsibilities
- Set the technical direction for, and lead the development and optimisation of, copper electrodeposition processes for fine-pitch RDL, microvias and high-aspect-ratio structures.
- Investigate electrochemical kinetics, mass transport, current distribution, nucleation and deposition morphology.
- Develop electrolyte formulations, additives and operating conditions to improve uniformity, filling quality and defect performance.
- Identify and eliminate deposition defects, including voids, shorts, overplating, roughness and nonuniform growth.
- Design and execute rigorous experiments (DOE) to establish robust and reproducible process windows, and set the standard for experimental rigour across the team.
