SENIOR ENGINEER - UNIFORMITY PROCESS DEVELOPMENT

Responsibilities

• Process module ownership involving regE process characterizations and advanced process developments for 3D NAND and beyond.
• Work with process development engineers in Singapore and Boise, US TD site and vendors to develop regE processes that meet integration requirements for next-generation 3-D NAND nodes.
• Transfer regE processes to high volume manufacturing (Fab10), and work on continuous improvements to manufacturability.
• Address specific wafer edge issues (such as bevel defects, uniformity issues), working with Fab10N team and with key business partners on tool choices for manufacturing, evaluations etc., as applicable.
• Focus on understanding and improving regE process margins required for meeting the mature yield goal for 3D NAND parts.
• Initiate and manage experiments to widen regE process margins as well as to test out manufacturability of next node solutions
• Incorporate best known manufacturing methods into early development phase of upcoming nodes.
• Design and implement advanced process monitoring and control methodologies.
• Serve as a technical expert within Micron contributing to technical projects for improvements to processes, procedures and equipment.
• Define and leads complex, multi-functional projects of critical importance to Micron, helps to define strategic direction.
• Lead team or sites or suppliers on complex, multi-disciplinary projects in quality focused meetings, process and yield improvement meetings, cost and productivity improvement meetings
• Provide advice and counsel to management on significant technical issues. Leads and initiate innovation projects through patents/technical papers.
• This position requires communications and collaboration with partners both locally and globally. Strict adherence to Micron Intellectual Property protection policy is a must.
• Be part of the continuous worldwide TD engagement with suppliers pushing for breakthrough solutions.

Requirements

• Masters in Materials Engineering.
• Familiarity with PVD or CVD process developments and yield improvements.
• Understanding of various integration and structural impacts and constraints related to wafer edge.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills with ability to convey the message in concise and effective manner both in local as well as remote communications.
