Job Description - Senior/Engineer - PCVD Process Dev (JR49293)
As a Process Engineer, you will be primarily responsible for starting up, developing, and optimizing processes to improve product quality and reliability. Your work will involve process yield improvement, cost reduction, productivity enhancement, and risk management. You will also be required to identify, diagnose, and resolve assembly process-related problems by applying failure analysis, FMEA, 8D, or SPC/FDC methodology. Additional responsibilities include coordinating and carrying out process, equipment, and material evaluation/optimization/development to implement changes at process steps, leading and participating in yield improvement and cost reduction activities, handling new process baseline qualifications, and managing, auditing, and liaising with equipment/material suppliers to achieve yield, quality, cost, and risk management objectives.
Responsibilities
- Develop and optimize unit processes to meet the yield and quality requirements of advanced NAND products.
- Quantify benefits of innovative process and/or equipment solutions to enable early experimentation and adoption for process margin improvement.
- Prioritize within Singapore based manufacturing CVD/PVD teams on the key technology issues that need R&D breakthroughs.
- Integrate and troubleshoot processes as part of cross-functional teams driving yield and quality improvement.
- Participate with Boise R&D Films peers on technology choices for the upcoming nodes and able to translate future technology device needs into clear process requirements.
- Identify disruptive processes early on and work with manufacturing and Boise R&D to identify viable path forward.
- Initiate and manage experiments to widen process margins as well as to test out manufacturability of next node solutions.
- Identify process simplification opportunities and drive cross-functional teams in implementation.
- Incorporate best-known manufacturing methods into the 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.
- 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.
Requirements
Bachelor degree or higher in Materials Science, Chemical/Microelectronic Engineering, or Physics with a minimum of 3 years hands-on experience in leading-edge film deposition/implant technology work. Fresh PhD/Masters graduates in Materials Science, Chemical/Microelectronic Engineering, or Physics are also welcome to apply.
A deep understanding of chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, physical phenomena, and their direct application to CVD/PVD deposition in various deposition methods.
An ability to understand and troubleshoot precursor depletion effects within three-dimensional structures and come up with innovative ideas to mitigate the effects.
Basic understanding of films and interface engineering and analysis techniques thereof – SIMS, XPS, EDX, SEM/TEM.
Understanding of various integration and structural impacts and constraints related to film deposition processes.
Working knowledge of data analysis systems Y3 to facilitate analysis of experimental data.
Working knowledge of Design of Experiments (DoE).
Proven ability to collaborate with local and overseas teams on projects.
Excellent oral and written communication skills with the ability to convey the message in a concise and effective manner both in local as well as remote communications.
Ability to be a self-motivated individual and be adaptable to Micron’s changing needs in terms of working extended hours, if required.
Proven ability to work in a demanding & dynamic environment and able to prioritize and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
Ability to travel for extended periods of time and stay at Boise R&D for 4-6 months at a stretch to work on technology development.
