Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing operator who handles the pattern formation process for integrated circuits, from photoresist application to exposure and development.
Description
Integrated circuit printing workers apply photoresist to semiconductor wafers and are responsible for the process of forming circuit patterns using exposure equipment with masks. They handle setup and adjustment of spin coaters and exposure equipment, development processing, quality inspection, management of process parameters adapted to miniaturization technology, and thorough traceability. In addition to work in clean rooms, they are required to perform periodic equipment maintenance and initial analysis of defect causes.
Future Outlook
With the growth of the semiconductor market, demand remains stable, but roles are becoming more advanced due to the introduction of automation equipment. On-site workers are increasingly required to have process understanding and data utilization skills.
