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

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 a Lithography pathfinding process development engineer at Micron Technology in Boise, Idaho, you will evaluate advanced lithography including Extreme Ultra Violet (EUV) and High Numerical Aperture (High NA) EUV on next-generation memory parts. You will collaborate with our team to understand roadmap requirements for next-generation memory, and how new technologies intercept our roadmap! You will partner with technology development and manufacturing to ensure they will be ready to implement EUV and other new patterning approaches. This role may require travel to support high NA EUV work. Photolithography experts with High NA EUV pathfiding experience are encouragd to apply!

Summary:

• Lead and participate in pathfinding activities for new patterning technology. This will include all lithography nodes, including 193nm immersion, EUV, and high NA EUV.
• Develop EUV modules in our technology development (TD) site. This includes setting up lithography processes and working with other process areas and process integration to meet manufacturing requirements.
• Travel up to once a month to New York or other locations to support early learning for high NA EUV.
• Work closely with defect inspection teams and our mask shop to develop appropriate inspection strategies for EUV masks.
• Collaborate with manufacturing sites to align on equipment and materials requirements, and to make sure EUV processes are aligned for transfer.

Mimimum Requirements:

• Understanding of EUV lithography, to include understanding differences between EUV lithography and deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography.
• Knowledge and an understanding of 193nm immersion multiple patterning processes, including litho-etch-litho-etch (LELE) and self-aligned quadruple patterning (SAQP).
• Knowledge of optics for photolithography or experience with photolithography simulation software such as Prolith or S-Litho is helpful.
• Required Education: Degree/Major: M.S. or Ph.D. in Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or study relevant to Photolithography plus at least 3 years of semiconductor industry experience ; or a B.S. in Engineering, Chemistry, or Physics with 10+ years of semiconductor industry process related experience with emphasis on Photolithography

Preferred Requirements:

• Hands on industry experience with High NA EUV in a pathfinding settting.
• Coursework or proven experience showing strong statistical analysis skills, including design of experiments and data analysis. Experience with JMP, Python, or other statistical analysis software is helpful
• Strong written and verbal communication skills. Ability to write and present clear and concise executive summaries for Micron and supplier management teams.
