Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing technician who partially deposits metal in a vacuum to form electrodes on quartz oscillators.
Description
The Partial Deposition Worker (Quartz Oscillator) operates vacuum deposition equipment in a cleanroom, depositing thin films of deposition materials such as gold and silver onto predetermined positions on quartz substrates using masks. They manage process conditions (vacuum level, temperature, deposition rate) while checking the film formation status with film thickness gauges and microscopes. They also handle equipment maintenance, defect analysis, and other quality control tasks, contributing to maintaining high-precision and reproducible film formation processes.
Future Outlook
Demand for quartz oscillators in communication devices such as IoT and 5G remains stable. The importance of high-precision thin film technology will continue to increase, and technicians capable of adapting to automation and smart factories will be needed.
