Job description

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all.

Join an inclusive team passionate about one thing: using their expertise in the relentless pursuit of innovation for customers and partners. The solutions we build help make everything from virtual reality experiences to breakthroughs in neural networks possible. We do it all while committing to integrity, sustainability, and giving back to our communities. Because doing so can fuel the very innovation we are pursuing.

As a Principal Mask Generator Engineer within this organization you will be chartered with defining, generating and maintaining mask data for current and future NAND technologies.

You will be responsible for developing generator code to generate final mask data from drawn base layer data. You will use this code to build all masks for development of a new technology from initial development to production ramp. All mask data should be generated in a timely manner and error free. We also work closely with NAND PI, design rule, OPC process andtapeoutteam to improve the quality and efficiency of the business process by developing automation tools.

Your responsibilities may include, but are not limited to:

• Build NAND generators by coordination with PI, design, photo, mask shop, advanced mask group, frame group, etc.

• Understand design rules, OPC, database, layout, etc. and be able to inspect layout, fractured data for errors.

• Develop and write generators using SVRF and review DRCs, etc.

• Develop experimental reticles for photo, PI, etc.

• Inspect and review databases through thetapeoutprocesses

• Develop Tools and Flows Used in Physical Design, Functional and Physical Verification, Performance and Yield Optimization, andTapeout

We are seeking candidates with the following:

• BS 15+ years’ experience or MS 10+ years’ experience in Computer Science or ComputerEngineering, Electrical Engineering or Electronics Engineering

• Fundamental understanding of device structure, silicon processing, basic processing issues, and design rules that control them.

• Hands-on experience required in writing DRCrunsetusing theCalibreSVRF and TVF/TCL is preferred

• Experienced with metal fill algorithm and dealing with density issues is plus

• Experienced with theTapeoutprocess and the LPP# (Layer Purpose Pair) usage

• Solid knowledge of computer programming and software: UNIX/Linux system, Python, Perl, Shell script, C/C++, SQL.

• Intimate knowledge of appropriate CAD tools: Cadence df2/SKILL/K2view andCalibredrvis preferred

• The ability to interface with a wide variety of people with different skill sets: design, process, process integration, OPC, layout CAD.

• The capability to supply innovative solutions to fix complex problems relating to generation of mask data.

• Experience in source code management and revision control system such as toolDesignSyncand Perforce is plus

• Good communication and problem-solving skills are required

• Fluent in English and able to communicate effectively with a global team
