ASML US, including its affiliates and subsidiaries, bring together the most creative minds in science and technology to develop lithography machines that are key to producing faster, cheaper, more energy-efficient microchips. We design, develop, integrate, market and service these advanced machines, which enable our customers - the world's leading chipmakers - to reduce the size and increase the functionality of their microchips, which in turn leads to smaller, more powerful consumer electronics. Our headquarters are in Veldhoven, Netherlands, and we have 18 office locations around the United States including main offices inChandler AZ, San Jose & San Diego CA, Wilton CT, and Hillsboro OR.

Job Mission

In the wafer exposure process, a single silicon wafer is divided into multiple exposure fields. When moving from one exposure field to another, EUV light generation (and hence, plasma generation) is paused. The goal of this project is to develop algorithms to aid in the plasma generation process, which include but are not limited to:

• Modeling of key steps within the plasma generation process.
• Improvements on existing algorithms.
• Investigations into new optimization techniques.

The project is expected to combine multiple signal streams which may be at different sample rates (sometimes non-uniform). The goal of the internship is for you to learn about working in a corporate setting and to provide hands on experience solving real world problems in a team environment. Interns will typically be required to document and present their findings as well as making an end of summer presentation to the group about what they achieved during their internship.

The internships are expected to be 12 weeks in length and on-site in San Diego for the summer of 2025.

Job Description

• Work in a team environment alongside local experienced engineers.
• Perform data analysis, modelling, plan and execute algorithm validation in the test bench.
• Specific tasks will be tailored to match the education / experience level of the intern as well as the interns learning objectives for the summer.
