Key Responsibilities

  • Own the process module involving Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) process characterization and advanced process development for 3D NAND and beyond.
  • Collaborate with global teams (Singapore, Boise, US) and vendors to develop processes meeting integration requirements for next-generation 3-D NAND nodes.
  • Transfer CMP processes to high volume manufacturing (Fab10N) and drive continuous manufacturability improvements.
  • Address process issues in partnership with the Fab10N team and key business partners regarding tool choices and evaluations.
  • Conduct fundamental research, consumables development, and hardware evaluation for advanced 3D NAND CMP processes.
  • Initiate and manage experiments to widen process margins and test the manufacturability of next-node solutions.
  • Lead complex, multi-functional projects critical to Micron's success, providing technical counsel to management.
  • Serve as a technical expert contributing to improvements in processes, procedures, and equipment.

Requirements

  • Bachelors’/Masters in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering or Physics with a minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in groundbreaking CMP polishing equipment (e.g., AMAT or EBARA).
  • Alternatively, a PhD in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or Physics.
  • Proven ability to drive process development from early stage through high volume manufacturing transfer.
  • Experience in advanced 3D NAND process development is highly relevant.
  • Strong problem-solving skills applying failure analysis, FMEA, 8D, or SPC/FDC methodologies.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with global teams and suppliers.
