Sr MOL Engineer - DRAM Process Integration

Responsibilities

• Support MOL process flow development, optimization, and integration for advanced DRAM technologies.
• Assist in troubleshooting integration issues across MOL process modules (contact etch, silicide, contact fill, local interconnect, liner/barrier).
• Collect, analyze, and interpret process and electrical data (contact resistance, leakage, yield) to drive improvement.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams—MOL, Cap, module engineers, device engineers, reliability, and manufacturing—to resolve technical challenges at the MOL interface.
• Participate in technology transfer activities from R&D to pilot production.
• Contribute to design‑of‑experiment (DOE) planning, execution, and analysis for contact and local interconnect modules.
• Support pathfinding efforts for next‑generation MOL architectures, materials, and contact scaling solutions.

• MS/PhD (preferred)/BS (required) in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Microelectronics, Physics, Chemistry, or related field with coursework or research in thin films, interconnect technology, or nanofabrication.
• Foundational understanding of semiconductor fabrication processes (thin film deposition, etch, lithography, CMP).
• Familiarity with MOL concepts: contact formation, silicide, local interconnect, liner/barrier films, contact resistance.
• Hands‑on experience with deposition techniques (CVD, ALD, PVD) or etch processes.
• Exposure to DRAM or memory device technology paired with experience with process integration, yield improvement, or reliability testing.

• Internship or co‑op experience in a semiconductor fab or R&D environment paired with experience with DOE (Design of Experiments) methodology.
• Knowledge of contact metallurgy: tungsten, cobalt, ruthenium, or other contact metals, paired with familiarity with silicide processes (TiSi, CoSi, NiSi) or metal‑semiconductor interfaces.
• Understanding of high‑aspect‑ratio contact etch and fill challenges.
• Willingness to learn, adapt, and work in a fast‑paced R&D environment paired with proficiency in statistical analysis tools.
• Knowledge of semiconductor reliability concepts (electromigration, contact degradation, stress voiding).

• Semiconductor Process Engineer 3 - Semiconductor Process Engineer 4
