In our Development & Engineering (D&E) department, we have three clusters:
Software development: This embedded software cluster focuses on the mechatronic modules and sensors and delivers the applications, drivers and calibrations for those modules. The programming languages used here are C, C++, Python, Java and MATLAB.
Scanner metrology: This cluster focuses on software that orchestrates the behavior of the mechatronic modules of the lithography machine. The metrology software measures physical imperfections and calculates how the hardware should behave to address these imperfections, maximizing system performance. Scanner metrology is a unique field for software engineers looking to combine their interest in physics and their programming experience. The programming languages used here are C++ and Python.
Applications software: Applications software delivers functionality for on-product performance and process stability to our customers. This software has to integrate seamlessly into the customer’s production facilities. Applications software is also responsible for the software for our metrology tool, the YieldStar. The programming languages used here are C# and Java.
