Wet Process DMTS/SMTS, Process Development SG, Advanced NAND

As a Distinguished/Senior Member of Technical Staff (DMTS/SMTS), you will play a pivotal role in driving innovation, leading technical projects, defining the technical roadmap, and mentoring fellow engineers. Your expertise will be instrumental in developing cutting-edge NAND process solutions to support pathing finding/device improvement/Yield ramp-up. You work with multi-functional teams in Process Integration, Process Development, Advanced Modeling and Device Engineering as well as with Management teams to establish long term process technology roadmaps and strategy, and deliver silicon-based solutions for future memory product needs. Your contribution will leave a lasting impact on the NAND industry.

Responsibilities:

• Drive process and chemistry pathfinding portion of Process Technology Roadmap for NAND memory technologies. Interact with equipment and material (e.g. chemistry) suppliers to drive innovative technology development, ensure alignment and timely progress to pathfinding work, as well as develop a productive relationship.

• Vision of the future potential of new materials and methods being explored as part of academic and consortium projects to guide potential for roadmap solution and selection of internal projects.

• Collaborate with partner organizations, engineering teams, and TD fabs to coordinate process technology pathfinding activities related to established roadmaps.

• Alignment of process technology roadmaps across process development teams to ensure understanding and alignment of TD activity and allocation of resources.

• Own critical taskforce, take ownership of critical initiatives, and leading multi-functional technical team to drive new tech node yield& device roadmap. Collaborate closely with process integration, technology development, and local yield teams to improve new technology.

• Identify, define and drive SOW agreements and related work where appropriate to increase level and scope of Micron exclusivity of equipment, chemistry, and process solutions.

• Guide and mentor team members, fostering a culture of continuous learning and career development.

Required Skills and Background:

• Good understanding and experience with process technology development business processes and strategy

• Deep understanding of memory technologies, semiconductor processing and devices, surface science and analytic methods related materials properties

• Ability to work on multiple projects and work through cross-disciplinary and cross-organizational logistical issues

• Expertise in semiconductor process technology assessment to achieve rational risk assessment.

• Demonstrated ability to form collaborations (internal and external) and internal customers

• Strong Presentation skills and experience

• Strong partnership and matrix management skills

• Proven ability to solicit feedback, accept input, and analyze success/failure of self and team

Required Experience:

• Leading innovation efforts across large and small teams and meeting critical deliverables

• Must have minimum of 10 years experience in WET Process development

Required Education:

PhD in Materials Science/Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, or similar field is preferred. Exceptional candidates with MS or BS will be considered
