Engineer - Metals Adv DRAM

Job Responsibilities

Develop new or modified process formulations, define processing or handling equipment requirements and specifications, and review processing techniques and methods applied in the manufacture, fabrication, and evaluation of products. Coordinate design requirement review with appropriate engineering/scientific personnel to ensure compatibility of processing methods. Compile and evaluate test data to determine appropriate limits and variables for process or material specifications. Conceive and plan projects involving definition and selection of new concepts, equipment automation technology, and approaches in the processing or development of new or improved processes.

Work directly with process integration and other process areas such as Dry Etch, Wet Etch, CVD, Diffusion, Lithography & CMP. Work on state‑of‑the‑art and best‑in‑class metal chambers and own the process roadmap to meet program and yield goals. Understand solid‑state physics including transition metal oxides, metals, surfaces, and interfaces. Understand fundamental challenges in materials exploration for device scaling. Understand chemical kinetics and their direct application to CVD, ALD, and PVD deposition processes in various deposition reactors.

• Master’s degree in Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field and 3 years of experience; alternatively PhD degree in same fields.
• Working with thin film deposition equipment in lab or clean‑room environment.
• Experience with deposition processes (PVD, CVD or other techniques) and film characterization.
• Thorough knowledge of thin film analysis and surface analysis techniques: SIMS, XPS, EDS, AFM, SEM, or other crystallographic techniques.
• Strong background in materials physics, including principles governing the structure, properties and electronic structure of advanced materials.
• Knowledge of material growth mechanisms: thin film deposition, crystallization and interfaces.
• Experience in electrical and physical analysis of semiconductor devices or nanostructures, device physics, and principles of electronic circuit design.
• Scientific programming and scripting for data analysis and automation (Python, MATLAB, or JMP).
