Senior/Staff ESD Device Modelling Engineer

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.

Job Responsibilities

• Conduct ESD/LUP research and experiments to investigate how to design-in the best ESD and latch-up design and layout solutions that minimize product defects due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) or latch-up (LUP) events.
• Design ESD test structures to fully evaluate the high current and voltage properties of the ESD IO, input or power clamps circuits.
• Assess the fundamental ESD properties of each type of ESD circuit elements, from active diffusions to BEOL metal layers, by wafer level transmission line pulse (TLP and vf-TLP) measurements to develop on-chip protection from ESD and or LUP events.
• Analyze ESD and latch-up (LUP) test structure data and generate ESD/LUP design rules and Guidelines.
• Develop and expand the ESD and latch-up circuit models based of the measured ESD data.
• Manage and coordinate first silicon ESD and latch-up design validation tests and perform root cause ESD and LUP analysis, as necessary, to ensure that product meets Micron’s minimum qualification requirements.
• Continually improve product design and reliability by introducing innovative ESD designs.

Successful candidates for this position will have:

• A strong knowledge of advanced semiconductor device physics, including deep submicron CMOS devices.
• A good understanding of state-of-the-art CMOS process technology and electrical circuit analysis.
• Experience in Cadence design tools for design, layout, and verification tools.
• Hands-on experience in ESD characterization analysis using wafer level transmission line pulse (TLP) test equipment.
• Experience waveform generators, oscilloscopes, source/measure units, Agilent and/or Keithley parametric analyzers/testers, and impedance analyzers.
• Familiarity with ESD analysis tools like PERC or PathFinder or similar software tools.
• Strong data analysis skills are required to extract the high current ESD properties and develop ESD/Latch-up design rules for critical ESD circuits.
• Strong oral and written communication skills are required to provide ESD/LUP technical leadership with diverse worldwide teams in Design, Product Engineering, R&D characterization, and Quality Assurance teams.

Minimum Qualifications:

• A BS Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or related discipline with 5-7 years of experience, OR
• A MS in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or related discipline with 7+ years of experience, OR
• A Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or related discipline.

Preferred Qualifications:

• An MS/Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or related discipline, with 8+ years of experience.
