Group/Division
With over 40 years of semiconductor process control experience, chipmakers around the globe rely on KLA to ensure that their fabs ramp next-generation devices to volume production quickly and cost-effectively. Enabling the movement towards advanced chip design, KLA's Global Products Group (GPG), which is responsible for creating all of KLA's metrology and inspection products, is looking for the best and the brightest research scientist, software engineers, application development engineers, and senior product technology process engineers. First to deliver the best imaging and classification data for every defect or point on any layer at any time. EBeam's mission encapsulates its role as the "eyes" of KLA's product line, providing timely information on defects and critical locations on the wafer at the highest spatial resolution possible. Customers use EBeam products alongside KLA patterned and bare wafer inspectors to quickly understand the nature of defects and other imperfections on product wafers and take action to correct the manufacturing process.
Job Description/Preferred Qualifications
KLA is seeking highly motivated intern candidates to join the Applications Engineering team supporting advanced inspection and review products for the semiconductor manufacturing industry. This internship provides hands-on exposure to cutting-edge e-beam/inspection systems and real-world fab applications. Based in Shanghai, China, the Regional Development Applications Engineering Intern will be responsible for:
Assist in designing and executing experiments to evaluate new tool features and system performance. Collect, analyze, and visualize data under guidance from senior engineers. Contribute to documentation such as application notes, characterization reports, and best-known methods (BKMs).
Work with Applications engineers to understand semiconductor fabrication processes and defect review workflows. Support process optimization studies and benchmarking activities using customer or demo datasets. Help prepare materials for product demonstrations and internal/external presentations.
Assist in tool setup, calibration checks, and recipe execution in lab or demo environments. Participate in debugging and problem investigation under supervision.
Work closely with cross-functional teams including R&D, product engineering, and field applications. Contribute to internal knowledge bases, training material, and documentation. Present project findings to the team at the end of the internship.
