Full Job Description
In this role, you will develop EUV mask BEOL technologies that enable Micron's future roadmap. You'll own high-visibility R&D programs, partner closely with suppliers, guide technology choices, and drive readiness for High-NA EUV manufacturing. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who enjoys deep technical exploration, modeling, and mentoring others while shaping long-term strategy.
Responsibilities:
• Member of a R&D team for EUV mask BEOL characterization, quality enablement, defect printability rules, and imaging performance
• Develop actinic inspection, automated defect classification, printability assessment, metrology, and defect repair processes
• Drive physics-based modeling and lithography simulation to correlate mask properties with wafer performance
• Define tool capability requirements, lead early supplier engagement, and guide technology selection
• Work with engineers and transition developed technologies to BEOL process engineering teams
Minimum Qualifications:
• MS or PhD in Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, Chemical engineering, or a related technical field
• 2+ years of experience in semiconductor manufacturing, process development, or equivalent academic research in semiconductor technologies
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience in semiconductor mask, lithography, or wafer fabrication (EUV/DUV, advanced nodes)
• Knowledge of actinic mask inspection, defect printability, or mask repair
• Background in BEOL/FEOL process control, mask qualification, or high-volume manufacturing
• Experience defining tool requirements, specifications, and technology roadmaps
• Track record collaborating with equipment suppliers on early-stage tool/process development
• Hands-on experience with EUV or High-NA mask/wafer technologies
• Strong understanding of lithography fundamentals, including EUV systems and pattern transfer fidelity
• Experience with lithography simulation, OPC, or advanced mask design
• Familiarity with yield, defectivity, and process integration challenges
• Ability to lead complex R&D efforts and collaborate across fabs, suppliers, and vendors
