Job description

Process Development Engineer – Micron NAND Process Development (PD) Singapore Group

Micron’s NAND Process Development (PD) Singapore group is looking for a process development engineer to support TD activities associated with rapid deployment of technology nodes, improve process margins, and ensure extended engagement with manufacturing on upcoming technology nodes.

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 lead complex, multi‑functional projects of critical importance to Micron, helping to define strategic direction.
• Lead teams or sites or suppliers on complex, multi‑disciplinary projects in quality focused meetings, process and yield improvement meetings, cost and productivity improvement meetings.
