Computer/Data Science Graduation Internship: Visualization of Large Wafer Datasets

Introduction

Are you a master student in Computer Science, Data Science or a related field looking for a graduation internship? Do you have knowledge of visualization and visual analytics and have experience with TypeScript and ReactJS ? Then this internship might be interesting for you!

Background information

Within Metrology & Patterning Control we focus on delivering cost efficient metrology and control solutions that help customers optimize scanner performance to maximize yield. With ever shrinking overlay margins this requires increasingly detailed overlay measurements: more measurements per wafer and more wafers measured, resulting in a vast amount of wafer data. The size of this data is becoming a challenge for the visualization (dashboard) tooling, which we use to gain insight into the contributions of the physical effects within the machine that lead to deviations in (overlay) performance.

Your assignment

The aim of the project is to find novel visualization techniques that apply to this type of data and scale with its ever increasing size (density of the measurements + number of measured wafers). The solution needs to enable the user to spot patterns, trends, outliers, and to easily compare subsets of the data. This implies a strong focus on (1) user interaction and (2) performance. User interactions must adhere to usability principles as effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction. To guarantee performance (maximum tolerable UI response time), all algorithms and data structures used must be well justified.

In this assignment you will:

• Gather the needs of the experts that work with the data.

• Design visualizations, interaction patterns, and algorithms.

• Build a prototype that fits in the existing tooling.

• Validate your solution by means of a user study.

Your Profile

To be a perfect match for this internship, you:

• Have knowledge about visualization, visual analytics, algorithms, data structures, data mining and statistics.

• Have experience in TypeScript and ReactJS (both are required).

• Preferably have experience with Java and SparkSQL (nice to have).

• Have strong communication skills and are fluent in English both verbally and in writing.

​This is a master graduation internship with a duration of a minimum of 6 months, for 4-5 days a week, starting date is flexible.

Please note that we can only consider students who are enrolled at an educational institution for the entire duration of the internship.
