Key Responsibilities

  • Lead project-level initiatives focused on the development of structural and electrical film processes, especially dielectric (including Low and High K) and Carbon based films.
  • Carry out complex experiments and support process integration under the guidance of senior staff members.
  • Use technical expertise to achieve measurable results that benefit the department or site.
  • Collaborate with various functions to facilitate technology transfer and assist in process ramp-up activities.
  • Maintain accurate and thorough records of experiments and processes, and prepare comprehensive technical reports.
  • Mentor staff members early in their careers and provide leadership that aligns with TLP entry expectations.
  • Support initiatives aimed at continuous improvement and optimization of existing processes.
  • Participate in multi-functional problem-solving teams to address process challenges and drive innovation.
  • Contribute to the development and documentation of guidelines, standard operating procedures, and knowledge management systems.
  • Keep up with the latest emerging technologies, industry trends, and advancements in thin film processing and characterization.

Requirements

  • PhD or equivalent degree in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field.
  • 10 to 15 years of experience in Thin Film research and development for NAND process specifically Diffusion and CVD Films.
  • Demonstrated expertise in thin film deposition techniques, such as Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (plasma and thermal), including recipe setup, process tuning, and fixing.
  • Proficiency in using metrology tools—including ellipsometry, X-ray reflectivity (XRR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)—for material characterization and process monitoring.
  • Solid understanding of process integration, defect analysis, and methods for yield improvement.
  • Familiarity with electrical evaluation methods and Fab metrology tools, such as CD-SEM, thickness measurement instruments, and particle counters.
  • Competence in process optimization, documentation, and data analysis, including statistical process control (SPC), design of experiments (DOE), and root cause analysis.
  • Experience with fixing process issues, implementing corrective actions, and supporting technology transfer from R&D to manufacturing.
  • Ability to communicate technical findings effectively, both verbally and in writing, to diverse audiences.
  • Experience with knowledge management systems, SOP development, and compliance with safety and quality standards.
  • Demonstrated experience in multi-functional collaboration and project-level leadership.
  • Strong record of technical contributions, publications, or patents in relevant domains (preferred).
