Summary
Operates, sustains, develops, and architects semiconductor wafer fabrication processes (photolithography, etch, deposition, diffusion, CMP) and the tools that run them. Distinct from equipment maintenance/facilities (focused on tool repair and fab infrastructure) and from device/circuit design (this focus owns the physical manufacturing process windows, yield, and process control rather than the IC design itself). The Professional track begins with process-engineering work; pure hourly operator/technician roles belong to a separate non-exempt technician track.
