Process Coordinator Interview Questions
24,152 process coordinator interview questions shared by candidates
Questions I was asked during the onsite interview: 1) Tell me a difficult situations you faced during your research work and how did u solve it. 2) They asked me to name any characterization tool which I had hands on experience during my research work. I told Scanning Electron Microscopy. So, they asked several related question like : What is the working principle of Scanning Electron Microscopy? How electron optics work? What is the function of scan coils in SEM? How electrons can used to make image? Why the interaction volume is pear shaped? What is the relationship of accelerating voltage and interaction volume? When do we need to use low voltage mode and why? How image is magnified in SEM, is it by changing working distance/objective lens strength or something else? 3) My research work was based on thin film deposition and corresponding characterization. So they told me to draw two plots of film thickness versus RPM of spin coater one at the center of wafer and other at the edge. They also asked few more questions on Bragg's law and lattice plane indexing as I did some X-Ray diffraction work. 4) I was asked several times whether I broke and fixed any instruments or not? I was also asked whether I made any experimental set up on my own? I designed a furnace using LabView and some other control systems. I mentioned this. I guess this gave me an edge. 5)They also asked few fundamental questions from Metallurgy (since I got my phd in Metallurgy) like what is crystal? What will happen if two dislocations meet inside the crystal? How will it affect the strength/hardness of the materials? 6) HR questions were not so difficult, like, Have you ever had any conflict with your colleagues or advisor? They were looking for real life examples rather general statements from me.What do you want to improve about yourself? Why Intel? etc. Last of all, I will recommend that problem solving is the key word. Be prepared to demonstrate your problem solving skills as they asked me many a times about my problem solving skills.
They ask questions about your resume so be prepared and have an example of things you have done. They also ask concept questions about statistical process control (SPC) which is very common in any manufacturing company. Understanding statistics is essential like (sigma, standard deviation, control limits, ect....). They also asked a technical questions that my not be related to semiconductors just so they know how you think solve problems,
How did you manage to motivate yourself when the work doesn't go as well as you had hoped for?
Questions were to determine how you work with people, or how your thought process works. Nothing was pulling specific technical knowledge.
One question was to solve for currents in a simple circuit
Mostly behavioral and some technical questions
Tell me something about yourself Strengths and weekness Challenges you have handled at workplace
what did you do during graduate school
Mainly what problems I faced during my graduate research projects.
