Full Job Description
As a Thin Films Engineer, you will develop and integrate deposition processes that directly enable Micron's next-generation DRAM! This role owns thin film concepts from early development through high-volume manufacturing, with a strong focus on EUV patterning films. You will work closely with cross-functional teams and external partners to deliver robust, scalable processes that meet aggressive technology requirements.
Responsibilities:
• Develop, optimize, and transfer thin film deposition processes for EUV-enabled DRAM technology
• Lead process characterization, troubleshooting, and defect reduction through VME
• Drive thin film roadmap activities aligned to future technology nodes
• Collaborate with internal teams and suppliers to mature equipment, chemistries, and process solutions
• Analyze large physical and electrical datasets and communicate clear recommendations
Minimum Qualifications:
• PhD or MS with 4+ years of semiconductor experience in materials or process development
• Strong foundation in materials science, chemical reaction engineering, and thin film physics
• Hands-on experience with EUV patterning films such as photoresist, hard masks, or spacers
• Experience with ALD, PECVD, PE-ALD, and/or LPCVD processes
• Knowledge of SPC and process maturity for manufacturable technologies
Preferred Qualifications:
• Experience developing thin films specifically for EUV patterning environments
• Background with surface analysis techniques such as XPS, AFM, XRD, or SIMS
• Experience driving vendor equipment or process roadmaps
• Demonstrated leadership of cross-functional or global development teams
• Strong ability to adapt and execute in a rapidly changing R&D environment
