Module engineers are divided into two main categories: process and equipment. Basically, there are two types of engineers in any Module: Process Engineers (PEs) and Equipment Engineers (EEs), which are also known as PEs and EEs. The work is as follows:
Equipment engineers are mainly responsible for the status of the machine, they have to keep the machine always in a better status, so as to improve the utilization rate of the machine. Monitor time, and reduce the chance of Down machines.
This puts a lot of pressure on the equipment engineers. This is where the On Calls for equipment engineers usually come from. If everyone is a senior EE, then since there is equipment duty at night, small problems can be taken care of, and big problems can't be dealt with and can be done the next day during the day. But if it's a bunch of EEs without enough experience, then everyone can only specialize in a few machines.
The result is that when you have a problem with a machine you're not familiar with, you have to call someone. Semiconductor,Chip,Design,Layout,Chip,Manufacturing,Process,Process,Packaging,Testing,EEs spend more time in Fab than PEs, and have a lot of routines to work on, such as PMs.EEs have relatively simple problems.
EEs have a lot of chances to be exposed to toxic gases, radiation and chemicals, and are also prone to be victimized. many of the protagonists of sensational legends in Fab are EEs. remember an iron law of Fab, any unidentified liquid can be defaulted to be HF solution, don't touch it indiscriminately. Also special areas will have special precautions for each.
EE mainly deals with PE and FAC guys. I don't deal directly with PIE, a Module nuisance, and I don't have any major issues with the TDs. Since he is a user of the machine, Vendor will often come and make nice with the EE, and if the company permits, there can be a lot of meals. Alcohol consumption has to be worked on.
EE work is tiring, but not very complicated, and if you join a nice collective, you can have a fast time. Master's degree and above brethren usually won't have the opportunity to join the EE ranks, engineering undergraduate/college graduates can more than adequately handle the EE work. after doing EE for a long time if there is little interest you can find a way to switch to PE, if you want to make money, being a Vendor is not bad either.
