Photolithography Advanced DRAM Process Development

Position Overview

As a Sr. Engineer in photo process development, you will be a part of ground‑breaking sophisticated DRAM research & development photolithography team. The position promises ample 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.

• 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 causes by correlating device failure with process conditions such as critical dimension, registration, cross‑section, etc.
• Document and communicate plans, status, and results of projects in written reports and presentations.
• Work well with others in a highly collaborative environment, as well as independently with a strong sense of ownership.

• Research related to photolithography, EBL, nanoimprint lithography, photonics, or optics.
• Ability to resolve complex issues through root‑cause or model‑based problem solving.
• Strong communication skills (written, verbal and presentation).
• PhD or MS in Physics, Optics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Materials Science, Photonics, Chemistry, or other related field.

• Strong R&D skills and ability to build manufacturing‑friendly technologies.
• Data science and programming experience or coursework is strongly preferred.
• Coursework or experience in photolithography and semiconductor manufacturing preferred.
• Experience with photolithography simulation software is a plus.
• Understanding of material properties and characterization techniques of lithography.
