Job Purpose

To develop and test vacuum coating machines and coating sources, and to develop coating processes for different applications.

Responsibilities

(1) Coating Machine Development

Develop and optimize vacuum thin-film coating machines, with a strong understanding of vacuum systems, machine architecture, electrical/control systems, and system integration.

(2) Deposition Source Development

Develop, integrate, and optimize deposition and plasma sources, such as magnetron sputtering, arc/FCVA sources, ICP plasma sources, ion sources, and CVD/PECVD sources.

(3) Thin-Film Process Development

Develop and optimize PVD and CVD coating processes, including sputtering, arc deposition, ion-beam processes, ICP-CVD/PECVD, and plasma etching, with good understanding of plasma generation and plasma property.

Understand coating materials, film structures, properties, and characterization, including thickness, uniformity, adhesion, hardness, stress, composition, surface morphology, and other functional properties.

(5) Application & Customer Solution Development

Develop coating solutions for different industrial applications by translating customer requirements into suitable machine configurations, deposition sources, coating materials, and process recipes, and support machine testing, troubleshooting, qualification, and technology transfer.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, especially in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, Materials Engineering, or other related fields.

At least 5 years of working experience in vacuum coating technology or thin-film deposition processes, such as PVD, CVD, sputtering, or other related technologies.
