Engineer, DRAM Design Rule

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 DRAM Design Rule Engineer, you will create and maintain design rules for the development of advanced dram nodes

Responsibilities include but are not limited to the following:

• Collaborate with Process Integration, Process Development, Design, Product Engineering, CAD and other areas to develop, and maintain design rules to support advanced dram nodes.
• Define mbits for DRAM array
• Assist with reticle making from concept to fab including design, layout, scribe and test structure, reticle manufacturing specs and pre-tapeout checks
• Work with Design Enablement Team to evaluate test structures to provide data for next generation devices and to quantify process margin on current devices
• Define sub-milestones for the project within the layout schedule and work with the various teams to achieve the targets and timelines.
• Pro-actively identify and address process issues and process window vs. die size issues stemming from specific database layout or layout techniques
• Partner with Design, Product Engineering, Process integration, Business Units and Quality groups to optimize PPAC (Performance, Power, Area, Cost) for all Micron DRAM products
• Assure that the right DRC’s (Design Rule Checks) are in place, assure appropriate reaction to deviation from established design rules
• Strategically partner with multiple teams and fields to understand process issues related to the database layout, and prioritize development of solutions with Process Integration, Advanced Mask Design, Scribe & Frame, Layout & Design
• Summarize sophisticated problems, derive and explain actions taken to address them
• Drive effective multi-functional communication on issue resolution, and support across node Design Rule alignment
• Maintain and implement meaningful communication between Process Integration, Product Engineering, Design, and Advanced Mask teams
• Improve timely documentation of the R&D activities with regard to design rule improvements for transfer to parts still in design

Minimum Qualifications:

• BS/MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, Physics or related field
• Senior level (5+ years) experience in the semiconductor industry in the areas of Process Integration, Yield Enhancement, Product Engineering, Design, Test Structure Development, or Unit Process Development
• Solid grasp and exposure to design & layout with the ability to do minor layout, work with Pcells is desired
• Experience with Test Structure Design and characterization
• Success in resolving sophisticated issues
• Think and communicate clearly in urgent and stressful situations
• Possess a deep understanding of the DRAM process flow, as well as the function and purpose of major DRAM components, such as Sense Amp, Word-line driver, and Anti-Fuse
• Exposure and familiarity with CAD group interactions, data post-processing, and the process of transferring data from the database to the reticle
