Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing operator who operates and monitors equipment to produce high-purity materials for semiconductor devices from raw materials, while maintaining quality and yield.
Description
Semiconductor material refining equipment operators load raw silicon and metal precursors into high-temperature furnaces, zone melting equipment, chemical vapor deposition equipment (CVD/PVD), etc., and control process parameters (temperature, pressure, flow rate, etc.) to manufacture high-purity silicon crystals and metal targets. They perform equipment startup and shutdown, monitor equipment status, conduct quality inspections, troubleshoot, and carry out preventive maintenance. Cleanroom operations and compliance with safety and health regulations are required. They also engage in data analysis and process improvements to enhance production efficiency and yield.
Future Outlook
With the growth of the semiconductor market, demand for high-purity materials is expanding, and the demand for skilled operators remains stably high. In the future, equipment automation and AI integration will advance, making data analysis and preventive maintenance skills even more important.
