Engineering internship: neural networks for water leakage detection

Introduction

At ASML, requirements constantly evolve to improve the performance of ASML lithography tools with respect to nanometer accuracy as well as throughput (wafers per hour). This results in more complex designs and pushing the system to its limits. Sophisticated cooling water circuits are present in many sub-systems of ASML machines.

Your Assignment

Due to the large number of manifolds, tubes and connections, water leakages sometimes may occur, causing costly down-time of machines. Detecting potential water leakages is therefore of great importance. Your task is to study and create neural networks to detect potential risk of water leakages from machine data. You will be part of the Machine Conditioning (MC) cluster, in the group of Thermal Architecture. The roadmap for this assignment is as follows:

• Study water circuits on ASML machines and neural networks;

• Get some hands-on experience with MATLAB and neural network module;

• Start creating basic neural network using artificial water leakage data;

• Proceed with neural network using real machine data;

• Show proof of concept;

• Make the neural network operational;

• Present your findings.

This is a Master apprentice internship for around 6 months, minimum 4 days per week (3 days onsite). The start date of this internship is as soon as possible or at the latest around September – October.

Your profile

To be a fit for this assignment, you:

• Are busy with your master’s in Engineering (Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical, etc.) or Physics;

• Are skilled in MATLAB;

• Have an affinity with flow;

• Are proactive and have a hands-on mentality;

• Have good communication skills in English (verbal and written).

Other requirements you need to meet:

• You are enrolled at an educational institute for the entire duration of the internship;

• You are located in the Netherlands to perform your internship. In case you are currently living/studying outside of the Netherlands, your CV/motivation letter includes the willingness to relocate;

• If you are a non-EU citizen, studying in the Netherlands, your university is willing to sign the documents relevant for doing an internship (i.e., Nuffic agreement).
