Image Processing/Machine Learning Intern

Image Processing/Machine Learning Internship

Introduction

Are you currently pursuing a Master's program in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Physics, or Electrical Engineering? Do you have experience in Machine Learning/Signal Processing and would like to know how we develop the latest technologies in the Semiconductor field? Then this internship is for you!

Background Information

ASML is a world leader in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. Our innovative machine stack includes state-of-the-art lithography systems along with cutting-edge metrology systems such as Yieldstar. In semiconductor manufacturing, overlay is defined as the spatial alignment error between two semiconductor layers. The control of overlay plays an essential role in the optimization of the fabrication yield and profit margin. In this project, you will have the opportunity to interact with various experts on optics and signal processing in the context of a new generation of metrology systems. The group Image Processing & Machine Learning within ASML, together with ASML Research, contributes to a wide range of algorithms and optics-focused studies in the domain of wafer metrology.

Your Assignment

The semiconductor manufacturing process constantly involves imaging structures with nanometer-scale resolution. The main goal of this internship assignment is to design and develop next-generation computational algorithms for a new generation of ASML metrology systems. This project aims to create image processing (IP) and machine learning (ML) related solutions for signal extraction from optical sensing images. Specific tasks will involve designing a signal processing pipeline to extract metrology signals from the new generation metrology system. You will also be provided with the opportunities to enter the clean room and learn how to measure on a prototype metrology system.

Your Profile

To be a perfect match for this internship, you:

• Are a master student in the fields of electrical engineering, computer vision, computer science, mathematics, and physics.
• Are skilled in: Signal Processing, Optics, Setting up optical experiments.
• Have an interest in or experience with signal processing, MATLAB, C++/C#.
• Preference will be given to candidates who have an interest or experience with hybrid approaches where signal processing and programming knowledge is combined with basic optical experiments.
• Are independent, highly motivated, and possess good technical communication and presentation skills.
• Have great communication skills in English both verbally and in writing.

This is a Master apprentice internship with a duration of 6 to 12 months, for 5 days a week, starting as soon as possible.

Please note that we can only consider students who are enrolled at a school for the entire duration of the internship.

Benefits

• Monthly internship allowance of maximum €600 (plus a possible housing and free public transport).
• Practical guidance from experts in the field.
• The chance to work in and experience a dynamic team environment.
