The solutions we build help make everything from virtual reality experiences to breakthroughs in neural networks possible. We do it all while committing to integrity, sustainability, and giving back to our communities. Because doing so can fuel the very innovation we are pursuing.
The Resolution Enhancement Techniques (RET) team in Micron is looking for an RET Engineer position to support our advanced nodes in memory development.
We develop groundbreaking RET solutions, resolve important patterning issues, investigate creative tape-out flows, and introduce innovative software functions and applications to AMD group.
In addition, we dedicatedly engage with teams in Design, Device, and Systems to integrate an effective and efficient tape-out flow not only for pilot parts but also for derivative parts throughout the life span of each node of advanced memory products.
We are part of the Advanced Mask Development (AMD) group under the Technology Development (TD) department. We have deep understanding of RET methodologies and Optical Proximity Correction (OPC) software supporting the development of world class memory products. We collaborate closely with Process Integration and Photolithography teams as well as with our software vendors to deliver reticle solutions with production-worthy patterning fidelity on wafer.
Responsibility:
As an RET engineer at Micron, your responsibilities are:

• Design and execution of resolution enhancement techniques and optical proximity correction (OPC) for different part types within Micron TD and production fab.
• Development of process strategies for resolution enhancement techniques, including, but not limited to: OPC, illumination optimization, scatter bar optimization and application, phase shift lithography and custom illuminator design.
• Development of current and future TD reticle strategies, as well as supporting relevant issues in production fab with reticle solutions.
• Support the design and layout groups with input on design rules to generate robust and manufacturable designs for the process development and production groups.

Qualifications:
Successful candidates for this position will have:

• 5+ years experience in reticle development in the semiconductor industry, preferably with direct input on data correction from design and layout to improve printability of the process.
• Experience in EUV RET development, EUV OPC modeling, SMO (source mask optimization), and SRAF optimization.
• Experience with photolithography simulation packages, such as Solid-C, S-Litho, Prolith, etc.
• Experience with software packages developed by any EDA vendor (ASML Brion, Synopsys, Mentor Graphics, Cadence, etc.), preferably in the areas of EUV OPC empirical model creation and lithography simulations.
• Strong knowledge in photolithography theory, including optics, diffraction, phase shifting and resist modeling. Must have experience ArF lithography.
• Strong computer skills, including familiarity with Windows, Linux, UNIX, and some experience with programming languages (Perl/C/C++/TCL/Python).
• Knowledge of automation tools, layout and DRC tools like Cadence DF2 and IC Validator.
• Knowledge of semiconductor processing, the structure and function of memory devices, emerging technology, and lithography.
• Strong communication, interpersonal, organizational, and presentation skills to coordinate work across multiple groups.
• The ability to be highly motivated, ambitious, goal oriented, and to aggressively focus on solving problems both as part of a team and individually.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills to be effective.
• Proven ability to manage projects effectively to meet deadlines and work independently with minimal supervision.

Education:
M.S. or Ph.D. in engineering or relevant sciences (i.e., Physics, Optics, etc.) is required.
