MTS​/Principal Engineer, Metals Adv DRAM

Job Overview

As a MTS/Principal Process Development Engineer, you will be part of the Advanced DRAM Technology Development team. The position offers opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and testing new dimensions in Advanced DRAM. You will work directly with Process Integration and other process areas including Dry Etch, Wet Etch, CVD, Diffusion, Lithography, and CMP, and will own the process roadmap to meet program and yield goals.

• Technically innovate by driving strategic technical and tactical decisions at project and platform levels, contributing to feasibility studies and proactively addressing technical challenges.
• Apply expertise in vapor/plasma etching, selective wet etching, surface preparation, and high-aspect-ratio processing.
• Develop and maintain technology vision that aligns with business plans and builds Micron intellectual property.
• Lead the transition of technology into successful technical readiness and program integration.
• Interact with senior management to inform technical and strategic decisions and build alliances with customers.
• Drive product planning, roadmap, platform features, and functional area strategy with emphasis on scientific fundamentals.

• 10+ years of experience in Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or an equivalent field, including research during a PhD and 10 years of semiconductor industry experience.
• Subject matter expertise in low‑resistive metallization, lateral contact silicidation, high-aspect-ratio metal fill, wafer stress management, implantation for defect resolution, and documentation of innovative solutions for equipment modification and process research.
• Demonstrated leadership of significant projects in DRAM/NAND FEOL, MOL, CAP, Wafer Bonding, CMOS, or BEOL modules that support technical innovation across fabs.
• Strong understanding of solid-state physics, transition metal oxides, metals, surfaces, interfaces, and material challenges for device scaling.
• Knowledge of chemical kinetics applied to CVD, ALD, and PVD deposition processes in various reactors.

• Experience in semiconductor processing or manufacturing, with a preference for DRAM or memory backgrounds.
• Familiarity with thin‑film analysis techniques such as SIMS, XPS, EDS, AFM, SEM, TEM, and XRR.
• Experience incorporating AI into daily work, including coding, automation, and data science.
• Hands‑on experience with thin‑film deposition equipment in a lab or clean‑room environment.
• Proficiency in data analysis and statistical techniques, evaluating large datasets to derive insightful inferences.
