Intern-R&D Cell Film Process Development

at Micron Technology, Inc. in Boise, Idaho, United States

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

Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever.

As an intern for Cell Film Process Development Engineer at Micron Technology, Inc., you will contribute at a high level as part of process technology team to develop deep sub-micron generation production-worthy and low cost processes. You will provide ownership for both Process Development & related tool issues for specific films/processes. You will also be responsible for incorporating these processes into corresponding process flow for application in high density advanced memory parts, primarily 3D NAND applications.

Responsibilities include, but not limited to:

+ An experience in thin films research and development, preferably with experience in deposition for microelectronic devices

+ Plan and execute effective, well-designed experiments and write clear concise reports documenting the results

+ Recognize, suggest process alternatives, and evaluate different options that may provide improved film properties and higher process margins

+ Provide and take constructive criticism from other team members and demonstrate input to drive projects forward

+ Develop new chemistries and hardware for process innovation

+ Define process and equipment strategies for next generation NAND

+ Design and execute quality experiments to improve NAND Cell performance

+ Identify and understand failure mechanisms of Cell materials and correlate with NAND Cell electrical behaviors

+ Deliver innovative solutions to enable next generation 3D NAND Cell technology

+ Drive collaboration with integration, device and manufacturing teams to address NAND Cell technology gaps

Minimum Qualifications:

PhD candidate in Materials Science and Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering or similar field.

An understanding of:

+ Deep knowledge of thin Film Processing (ALD, CVD) and characterization methods

+ Chemical kinetics, thermal dynamics, plasma physics and chemistry, vacuum physics, and their direct application to thin film deposition processes

+ Electronic material properties resulting from various types of deposited thin films.

+ Deep understanding of fundamental characterization of Cell materials and develop new methodologies that can project NAND Cell reliability

+ Deep understanding of the interactions between process/hardware and device performance

+ Thin films fundamentals and roles in all processing steps of forming memory devices, peripheral devices and their IC circuit

+ Fundamental challenges in material exploration for device scaling

+ Various thin film electrical evaluation methods and techniques such as leakage, impedance, capacitance

+ Micro- and/or nano-mechanical structures and thin film linear and non-linear mechanical behaviors and modeling

+ Experience and knowledge of Fab metrology tools such as optical/electrical methods

+ You are a self-starter and adaptable to Micron's changing needs including working extended hours if required

+ Highly motivated and goal oriented, open to learning new skills

+ Problem solving skills both as part of a team and individually

+ Strong communication skills both verbal and written

+ Dependability and takes the initiative to take responsibility for the development of a process and tool
