Location:

MSB (Micron Semiconductor Asia Operations)

Department:

Solid State Drive Manufacturing (SSD Manufacturing)

Project Title:

SMT Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) Process Optimization

Description:

This internship provides an opportunity for a student to work on a structured engineering project focused on improving the performance of the SMT Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) process within a semiconductor manufacturing environment.

The intern will undertake a defined project to analyze AOI triggering behavior, with the goal of identifying key contributors to false triggers and false rejects. Through guided mentorship, the intern will apply data-driven methodologies to evaluate inspection effectiveness and propose improvement concepts that strengthen inline quality control.

The project is designed to provide hands-on learning in manufacturing process optimization, defect analysis, and engineering problem-solving within a high-volume production setting.

Scope:

Analyze AOI datasets (e.g., trigger rates, defect classification, review outcomes) to identify patterns and trends

Identify high-impact contributors (e.g., package types, component families) driving AOI triggers and false calls

Conduct structured root cause analysis on false trigger and misclassification scenarios

Validate findings through data comparison, observation, and engineering analysis

Develop improvement opportunities for AOI performance and inspection robustness

Conceptualize methods to sustain improvements (e.g., standardization approaches or monitoring concepts)

Deliverables:

Baseline analysis report summarizing AOI triggering behavior and false reject trends, including quantified impact areas

Structured problem analysis documenting observations, root causes, and validation approach

Identified improvement opportunities with supporting data analysis

Proposed sustainment concept (e.g., framework for monitoring, checklist, or process standardization approach)

Final project presentation summarizing findings, insights, and recommendations

Learning Objectives:

Through this internship, the intern will:

Gain understanding of SMT manufacturing processes and AOI inspection principles

Develop skills in data analysis and interpretation within a manufacturing context

Learn defect classification and root cause analysis methodologies

Apply structured problem-solving approaches to real-world engineering challenges

Understand process optimization concepts and quality control strategies in semiconductor manufacturing

Skills Required:

Basic knowledge in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related fields

Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills

Interest in data analysis and process improvement

Ability to organize and interpret engineering data

Course of Interest:

Engineering (Mechanical / Electrical / Mechatronics or relevant disciplines)
