Samia Belahcen

Samia Belahcen is an experienced Etch Process Engineer at Plasma-Therm since April 2022, specializing in the development of etching and stripping processes, as well as ICP-CVD processes, and conducting plasma diagnostics. Prior to this role, Samia completed a PhD at Laboratoire des Technologies de la Microélectronique - LTMLab, focusing on the impact of medium energy ions on hafnium oxide and titanium nitride thin films, which involved extensive thin film characterization and technical reporting. Earlier experience includes an apprenticeship at Leti as an Etch Process Engineer and a research internship at LTMLab exploring the influence of metal-insulator interfaces in resistive memories. Samia holds a Master 1 in Fundamental Physics and Nanosciences and a Licence in Physics from Université Grenoble Alpes.
