Overview

Our vision to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all. Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever. As a Sr. Engineer in photo process development, you will be part of a ground-breaking Sophisticated DRAM research & development photolithography team.

The position offers opportunities for innovation, collaboration and testing a new dimension with next generation DRAM. You will work directly with process integration and other process areas such as Wet etch, CVD, Diffusion, Metals, Dry Etch & CMP. You will work on innovative and outstanding lithography scanners and own the process roadmap to meet program and yield goals.

• Lead a particular module within next generation storage device. Develop new, manufacturing-friendly photolithography processes that enable the physical and electrical architecture with lithography technology, including 365, 248, and 193 immersion lithography. Engage with equipment/material vendors on new solutions to overcome process challenges.
• Innovate new design, layout, and photolithography techniques to open a solution space for building future generations of memory devices. Review all types of literature to identify potential intellectual properties (IP) opportunities and file disclosures.
• Use data analysis, and/or machine learning to identify root cause by correlating device failure with process conditions. Data may include critical dimension, registration, cross section, etc.
• Document and communicate plans, status, and results of projects in written reports and presentations.

• 5+ years of Photolithography experience
• Strong skills for research and development, and ability to build manufacturing-friendly technologies.
• Understanding optics to include the principles and application of immersion lithography, polarized illumination, and low k1 imaging.
