Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Operator on semiconductor manufacturing lines that form transistors on silicon wafers. Operates various process equipment and handles quality control and yield optimization.
Description
Transistor manufacturing workers operate process equipment such as CVD (chemical vapor deposition), sputtering, photolithography, etching, doping, and CMP (chemical mechanical polishing) in a clean room environment to form transistors on silicon wafers, and monitor and adjust process conditions. For yield improvement and defect analysis, they use various measurement and inspection equipment to acquire metrology data and perform quality control based on the data. They also handle creating reports on line operation status, equipment maintenance inspections, and periodic maintenance. Although manufacturing processes are highly standardized, they collaborate with process engineers for optimization during equipment setting changes or new material introductions.
Future Outlook
With the increasing demand for semiconductors, there is high demand for skilled operators. While labor reduction progresses through automation and AI implementation, nurturing advanced process technicians remains a challenge.
