Aim Of The Project

This internship offers the opportunity to contribute to cutting‑edge research within Micron's Technology Development (TD) organization. The Yield Enhancement (YE) Lab is equipped with state-of-the-art Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEMs) and Focused Ion Beam (FIB) systems. The project focuses on advancing three‑dimensional (3D) Electron Tomography techniques to enable nanoscale structural and compositional characterization for emerging memory technologies.

As an intern, you will collaborate with process engineers, integration teams, and TEM specialists to develop innovative TEM characterization workflows. Your contributions will help accelerate the development of next‑generation memory products.

Project Scope

Learning Opportunities:

Hands-on experience preparing 3D NAND samples using Focused Ion Beam (FIB) techniques.
Execution of 3D Electron Tomography experiments using TEM/STEM/EFTEM.
Exposure to tilt-series acquisition, 3D reconstruction, and interpretation of tomographic data.
Direct collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams (process integration, device engineering, reliability).
Experience documenting technical findings and presenting results in professional engineering settings.
Insight into real-world applications of advanced microscopy in semiconductor R&D.

Deliverable

Impact of Project:

Development and optimization of 3D tomography workflows for next-generation memory nodes.
High-quality tomographic datasets and reconstructed 3D models that enhance device understanding.
Technical reports summarizing methodology, findings, and recommendations for adoption into TD workflows.

Skillset Required

Currently pursuing a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related discipline.
