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 Process Quality Engineering (PQE) team works between Fab4 Technology Development (TD) and Fab4 High-Volume Manufacturing (HVM ID1) in Boise ID. PQE manages FOUP Environmental Control (FEC) programs Process Risk and Control (PRC) for Colocation and the Fab Contamination Control program. The team collaborates with various engineering groups across Fab4 in Boise Microns global Fab network and Global teams. They focus on understanding challenges related to processes tools and systems. They develop innovative solutions to address these issues quickly.

In this role you will contribute to and manage FOUP Environment Control (FEC) related to Airborne Molecular Contamination (AMC) in DRAM New Product Introduction (NPI). You will aid both HVM enablement and nextnode DRAM technology development. This role includes establishing executing and refining AMC process classification and management with emphasis on DRAM Dry Etch and Thin Films deposition processes.

Responsibilities:

• Direct the creation of the environmental control program for FOUP within Fab4 TD and HVM (ID1) greenfield startup guaranteeing complete system preparedness.

• Partner with Microns global HVM network to gather well-established approaches and lessons learned for FEC systems including yield impact studies from current and previous DRAM nodes. Lead the creation and implementation of FEC system Copy Exact/Copy Smart strategies as appropriate.

• Monitor production lines for yield issues that may result from wafer or process-related contamination. Collaborate with Process Integration and Process & Equipment Engineering teams to develop and complete experiments to resolve these issues.

• Partner with vendors to evaluate new hardware and FOUP solutions while aligning with internal collaborators to define and drive the roadmap for Fab4 HVM FOUP strategy.

• Represent the Fab4 PQE team in global alignment meetings with Microns fab network and central teams to ensure consistency and adoption of validated methods.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Masters degree or higher in Engineering (Materials Science Chemical Mechanical or a related field)

• More than 5 years working within semiconductor manufacturing in Process Module Development or Process Integration.

• Outstanding knowledge of DRAM or Logic process areas including Dry Etch Thin Film Deposition Photolithography Wet Clean CMP and Metrology with a broad understanding of equipment used across these domains.

• Strong understanding of wafer and process-related contamination mechanisms across various process areas and their impact on yield and product quality.

• Extensive experience in Statistical Process Control (SPC) including real-time fab process data reporting setup review and analysis with actionable recommendations for improvement. Proficient in JMP for advanced data visualization and analytics.

Preferred Qualifications:

• PhD in Materials Science Chemical Engineering Chemistry or a related science/engineering field with more than 7 years demonstrated experience in Semiconductor TD or HVM.

• Semiconductor TD/HVM background in FOUP Environment Control to boost process quality and increase wafer yield.
