Master thesis

The ams OSRAM culture focuses on variety and innovation.A more than motivating working atmosphere, combined with attractive training opportunities and performance-oriented compensation encourage our employees’ actions and promote their entrepreneurial spirit. An agile mindset, trust and integrity – for us at ams OSRAM, these values are not just empty promises, but an integral part of our corporate culture that we live every day. In fact, these are the key prerequisites for employees to fulfill even the highest requirements. Learn more about what you can expect from usWhat we expectProcess Analysis and Development:Understand the role of PECVD in depositing essential dielectric layers, such as SiO₂ and Si₃N₄ for CMOS devices.Investigate the impact of PECVD process parameters (e.g., precursor gas ratios, RF power, pressure, substrate temperature) on film stoichiometry.Identify correlations between input parameters and key output metrics like film thickness and RI.Experimental Design and Execution:Develop systematic experiments using Design of Experiments (DoE) techniques.Perform thin film deposition runs on state-of-the-art equipment available at ams-OSRAM's fabrication facilities.Metrology and Characterization:Characterize deposited thin films using ellipsometry to assess thickness and refractive index and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) to evaluate stoichiometric composition.Evaluate process stability, within-wafer and wafer-to-wafer uniformity.Data Analysis and Optimization:Analyze experimental data using statistical tools and regression models.Propose optimized PECVD recipes that meet stringent CMOS specification targets.Derivation of Fit and Response models for process parameter tuning to optimize process capability.Reporting and Communication:Document all process steps, experimental results, and analysis findings.Present progress in regular meetings with supervising engineers and researchers.Compile a final thesis report containing conclusions, visualized data, and future recommendations.Who we are looking forBringing intelligence to light and passion to innovation The ams OSRAM Group is a global leader in intelligent sensors and emitters. By adding intelligence to light and passion to innovation, we enrich peoples' lives. Our around 20,000 employees worldwide focus on innovation across sensing, illumination and visualization to make journeys safer, medical diagnoses more accurate and daily moments in communication a richer experience.
