Micron

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.

The Advanced Packaging Technology Development group supports Micron with packaging solutions for wafer and die level forms. As a Metrology Realtime Defect Analysis (RDA) Engineer in the Advanced Packaging Technology Development department, you will be responsible for managing critical dimension metrology and defect analysis within the rapidly evolving area of advanced IC packaging and next generation 3D Interconnect (3DI) projects. The scope of work involves many emerging and existing forms of inspection and metrology, for both package level and wafer level forms, and requires exceptional analytical and statistical skills. This MRDA development role will include next node metrology BKM study and defect analysis, manual and automated defect classification setup, analyzing results for efficacy, and driving these solutions into the manufacturing environment. Opportunities for expanding process knowledge in other areas other than your area of expertise also exist. You will be a part of the 3DI/Through Silicon Via process team dedicated to vertical stacked memory die products.

Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Scanning acoustic microscopy on tool engineering purpose sample recipe build-up and inline BKM set.
• Root cause finding and defect analysis by SEM, OM, EdX for inline trouble shooting.
• Metrology recipe on tool engineering purpose support and inline critical dimension, thickness, warpage BKM set.
• Monitor defect maps and trends for any new or serious issues with Lot Holds at MRDA steps, deal with OOC events and other tactical issues.
• Ownership and development of inspection processes to meet roadmap requirements to support technology roadmaps.
• Qualification of new methods, such as Automated Defect Classification, with extensive interactions with tool and software suppliers.
• Identifying improvement opportunities and novel solutions to roadmap gaps.
• Identifying and executing experiments and data collection methods resulting in recommendations for inspection improvements.
• Utilizing GeRM, MES, MAM, SPC, CQ, JMP, Yield3, Klarity/Discover, MS Office and SWR among other MFG and data analysis applications to facilitate SWR execution and data collection for analysis and reporting of experimental results.
• Understanding process flow to evaluate failures for potential process interdependencies and analyze gaps in data collected.
• Characterizing process and equipment capabilities and implement process control limits to ensure process health.
• Developing quality assurance and quality control schemes relating to new equipment and processes.
• Delivering documentation for transitioning process to different teams in R&D
• Driving tool procurement including tool identification to close roadmap gaps, installation, and qualification of equipment. Familiarity with DOC-2, SAC, FAC business processes is required to be successful in this role.
• Understanding upstream and downstream processes interactions and ensure that process customers and suppliers to your processes are known and requirements met.
• Training and real-world use of KT or other problem solving as well as KT or other Decision Analysis is critical.
• High level of interfacing with tool vendors to establish new technology and capability requirements as well as CIP for existing tooling.

Successful candidates for this position will have:

• Excellent documentation, organization skills are required for this position.
• The ability to work efficiently independent of direct supervision.
• Ability to communicate proposals, concepts and ideas to a varied range of audiences and professional levels.
• The ability to prioritize activities and drive them to completion within budget, on time and as defined.
• Demonstrated self-motivation to learn process details and the impact of various steps on subsequent steps and overall process and device performance.
• The ability to work with others or as an individual contributor in a team environment.
• The ability to communicate with engineers and technicians effectively across all areas within and external to the APRD team. This includes international sites as well as domestic sites.
• Strong understanding of semiconductor manufacturing processes (Diffusion, CVD, Etch, Lithography) and device process flows.
• Experience in applied statistics.
• Strong data analysis skills and a high level of attention to detail.

Education:

Masters or Doctorate degree in Materials Science and Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related discipline is required. A B.S. degree with 5+ years of industry experience will also be considered.
