Introduction

The functional group of EUV Dose Control focuses on delivering the accurate amount of requested energy for wafer exposure. The teams deploy various types of sensors to measure, calibrate and control EUV light at source, reticle and wafer levels. We also design control mechanisms to solve energy drift, offset and repeatability issues.

Your Assignment

Dose control is an important function in the scanner. It controls the dosage of light on the wafer which matters with imaging quality. It also monitors the light transmission throughout the system to understand the optics degradation mechanism. Dose control represents many detailed sub-functions, from driver to integrated levels. Each sub-function requires a simulation environment (MATLAB) in order to trouble shoot issues on the system and to test offline before releasing production code to the system. The challenges are: 1) not every sub-function has a mature simulation environment; 2) not every sub-function has the same scripting style.

Your task is to build a toolbox that converts all existing sub-functions into a universal style (same variable calling, I/O struct, etc.). You will also have the chance to construct a new sub-function and integrate it into the toolbox. In this internship, you will build a solid physical understanding of control theory. You will also learn plasma physics principles, illumination mechanisims, sensor design, etc.

This is a Bachelor/Master apprentice internship for 4 to 12 months, 5 days per week. The start date of this internship is around September.

Your Profile

To be a fit for this assignment, you:

• Are busy with your bachelor's or master's in Physics or Applied Mathematics;
• Are skilled in MATLAB/Python and possess some experience;
• Are open-minded and proactive;
• Have experience with experimental physics and devices fabrication (a plus);
• Have good communication skills in English (verbal and written).

Other requirements you need to meet:

• You are enrolled at an educational institute for the entire duration of the internship;
• You are located in the Netherlands to perform your internship. In case you are currently living/studying outside of the Netherlands, your CV/motivation letter includes the willingness to relocate;
• If you are a non-EU citizen, studying in the Netherlands, your university is willing to sign the documents relevant for doing an internship (i.e., Nuffic agreement).

This position requires access to controlled technology, as defined in the United States Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. § 730, et seq.). Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to access such controlled technology prior to beginning work. Business demands may require ASML to proceed with candidates who are immediately eligible to access controlled technology.
