Project Title

Big Data Analysis of Wafer Bevel Wafer Intelligent Scanner Metrics for Defect Reduction

Project Description

The Wafer Intelligent Scanner collects inspection data from the edge, or bevel, of wafers during semiconductor manufacturing. This internship project uses data analytics to study Wafer Intelligent Scanner metrics, identify patterns linked to defects, and determine early warning indicators that may help prevent future yield issues.

The goal is to transform large volumes of inspection data into actionable insights that enable engineers to detect potential issues earlier and reduce wafer defects. The intern will gain practical exposure to semiconductor process and equipment engineering, defect analysis, machine learning, and AI-Enabled manufacturing analytics.

Objective of the Project

• Identify Wafer Intelligent Scanner metrics associated with wafer defects and yield loss.
• Develop a data-driven methodology for detecting abnormal wafer bevel behaviour.
• Evaluate statistical, machine learning, and Artificial Intelligence techniques for early defect detection.
• Generate actionable insights and recommendations for defect reduction.

Opportunities for Full Time Employment

High-performing interns who demonstrate strong technical capability, learning agility, and successful project outcomes may be considered for future internship or full-time employment opportunities, subject to business needs and hiring requirements.

Project Scope

• Gather and prepare historical Wafer Intelligent Scanner, defect, yield, process, and equipment data.
• Analyze and correlate Wafer Intelligent Scanner metrics with yield loss, defect occurrence, and process or equipment traces.
• Apply statistical, machine learning, and AI-Enabled techniques to identify abnormal Wafer Intelligent Scanner behaviour.
• Evaluate model performance using appropriate measures, including prediction accuracy and sensitivity.
• Explore Artificial Intelligence tools and AI-Enabled workflows to improve analysis, visualization, and reporting.

Learning Opportunities

• Apply data analytics and visualization techniques to real manufacturing data.
• Learn about semiconductor defect analysis, yield improvement, and process monitoring.
• Develop practical skills in statistical analysis, machine learning, dashboard creation, and engineering problem-solving.
• Gain exposure to Artificial Intelligence and AI-Enabled workflows for manufacturing data analysis.

Deliverables

• A data-driven monitoring solution using Wafer Intelligent Scanner data to identify early indicators of wafer defects.
• Visualizations or dashboards presenting defect trends and abnormal scanner behaviour.
• Model performance assessment covering prediction accuracy, sensitivity, and relevant limitations.
• Final report and presentation summarising the analysis, findings, and recommended actions to reduce yield loss.

Impact of the Project

• Enable earlier identification of potential wafer defects using Wafer Intelligent Scanner data.
• Improve understanding of the relationship between wafer bevel metrics, process conditions, and defect occurrence.
• Contribute to defect-related yield-loss reduction through data-driven insights and early warning indicators.

Skillsets Required

• Data analysis skills and familiarity with statistical or visualization tools.
• Structured problem-solving capabilities and a strong learning mindset.
• Clear technical communication and presentation skills.
• Familiarity with machine learning, Artificial Intelligence tools, or AI-Enabled workflows is advantageous.

Course of Interest

The ideal candidate should be pursuing a Degree in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Materials Engineering, or a related field.

Duration of Period

The ideal candidate should be able to commit to a full time internship period of at least 5 months from Jan to May 2027.
